How does your media product represent particular social groups?

This product represents people (or victims) placed under witness protection programmes. This is so because the character is meant to have been placed into ‘hiding.’ This may not be clear in the opening of the film but I have tried to put across hints to the audience from the events that happen in the opening sequence to the character; from being watched to receiving a mysterious letter then someone breaking in. This gives the audience the clues but it allows them to feel involved in working out she is part of the witness protection programme. I chose the main character to be female because the audience may believe that the character seems more vulnerable as a female.

Laura is meant to be a teenager with a job (with a Saturday job.) The clothing she wears is smart as one would at work but still casual and it represents someone of that age group (she would not be wearing a suit to be working in a small shop business or something an older woman would typically wear.)
