How does your media product represent particular social groups?
These two girls are from popular 'horror' films, the one on the left is the young girl from 'The Ring' and the girl on the right is from 'The Grudge'. I choose to compare these two characters with our own young girl. This was because there were obvious similarities between them. One similarity is that all three young girls play the main role in which they are evil and distorted. Also each girls seem that they are tormented and driven insane. These are the similarities between the roles of the girls.
The similarities in appearance are very apparent. The young girls all have pale faces, this could be to show the frailness and torment they have been threw. Also the girls have dark eyes, this could be to show the restless torment and pain they have been through. Also their dark and large pupils make them appear to be evil and can be an opening to their dark and evil soul. However the girl from 'The Ring' appears to have a lot less darkness around the eyes and bags under them. Also another similarity between the girls are their dark long hair, this maybe because the darker the hair the paler the skin. 
When we were creating and deciding on the characters appearance we tried to base it on contrast. We wanted the girl to be quite innocent to contrast with the evil in her. The girl is also to be very misleading and a bit crazy. Also she is meant to be quite and dangerous. We hope that we have created this character well with the use of costume and make-up.
