How does your media product represent particular social groups?
On the left are three screenshots of me in our film opening and on the right a picture of the main characters of the movie 'Mean Girls'.
What they all have in common is that they are very girly.
- They're really into make-up, shopping, fashion, parties and boys.
- They spend their days with their friends going shopping, reading fashion magazines, doing each others hair and talking about boys.
- They wear pink, short skirts and a lot of make-up.
The main difference would be that the Mean Girls are a lot worse and more extreme than the girls in our film opening. They do wear make-up, high heels and short clothes, but they're nicer and walk in a normal way.
Also, our opening was filmed outside in winter, so the options we had for costumes were quite limited in terms of wearing mini skirts and low nechlines, because it was freezing. And due to the dark it is hard to see how much make-up our characters were actually wearing.
