The social group represented in our piece is a young female. Our main character is a teenage girl. In our piece she is shown in a negative light, she goes insane and kills her friends and family. In our opening sequence we show her smearing blood on her face and across a wall. We show he playing with dolls and doing other child-like things. The fact that her mind becomes much like a child's, obedient and fragile, challenges the traditional idea of a teenager being more mature.
In our soundtrack we used giggling and singing to show her insanity. We feature a nursery rhyme style song that adds a creepy edge to the imagery on the screen. The lyrics bring everything in the piece together creating a line of continuous action. The music makes her seem a lot younger and shows her as someone who is also playful and fragile. This challenges the stereotypical idea of a teenager as they are seen as strong, argumentative and loud but we show her as someone who is broken.
In horror films, the female teenager is shown as the target and as a victim. In our piece, however, she is the murderer. The most common antagonist is usually a male. We wanted someone who we could relate to and someone who was accessible to us to use in our piece. The antagonist is someone who can overpower their victims and is seen as somewhat threatening. We wanted to use the idea of the murders being performed in the spur of the moment with the element of surprise. This would give our otherwise weak character, an edge with spontaneity and a burst of adrenaline. It did however fall to the stereotypical view of a female being quite weak, especially when compared with a dominant male figure.
