How does your product represent particular social groups?
Our thriller is about a young girl who is possessed by the devil. A film which could be a bit the same is Girl Interrupted. Girl Interrupted is an American drama feature film with Angelina Jolie and Woopie Goldberg; about a teen’s 18-month stay at a mental institution. It explores the themes of drugs, suicide and teenage life. This related to five because of the fact that they don’t actually know if she is mentally ill or not, which could be the case of our child character.
In newspapers they have many articles about young people and crime. Our film is also about young people and crime. Our film is about a young girl who is arrested and the guardians tried to find out what is happening to her, they find out that she is possessed by the devil. However they are unsure whether she has mental health problems or is the victim of demonic possession.
In the society today people don’t believe in things like devil so they look for another reason to blame, like drugs or mental health. This is related to ‘Girl Interrupted’.
All in all I want to say that many films are related to that kind of thing, because the audience and society don’t believe in the devil they think about other things like drugs, crime or mental health. They don’t believe in other things.
Newspapers concentrate on young people as perpetrators of crime. This is shown by how they refer to young people as Chavs, show them with hoodies and talk about rising drug, alcohol and knife crime among young people. Newspapers don’t talk about mental health problems because they prefer to talk about young people as folk devils to the moral panic of rising crime. An example of this is when a shopping centre banned young people last year because they wore hoodies the moral panic created by the newspapers caused this to happen. Our film attempted to subvert this theory by looking at mental health issues amongst young people and looking at them as victims rather than perpetrators of crimes.
