Task 2 - How does your product represent particular social groups?

All media products represent social groups, whether or not they necessarily apply. Very commonly they are stereo types of social groups, E.G. In skins, they show that all teenagers get drunk and take drugs which isnt true.
Another common stereo type also commonly used is that teachers are strict. People are normally mor interested in something which has an element of their age group E.G. 'Skins' is focused around a group of teenagers and so this mainly draws in that age group and rarely interests many above the age of around 30 with exceptions.
As our media product features a different range of ages it will hopefully attract a range of different ages. As our film is a thriller it is likely to draw in people who like drama, action and thrillers.
In our opening scene it shows there has been two deaths of young adults, behind which is a love story, this is more likely to attract the female audience although it is just the opening of the film, there is more to interest other ages through out the rest of the film.
I would think our media product would interest the same audience as 'CSI' which I would say was ages from 16-40+.
