Analyse media representation in one of your coursework productions.

Ethnicity: Our production doesn't include any non-Caucasian characters. However, this does not mean our text only targets a narrow Caucasian audience as many other productions continue to sideline non-Caucasian talent and still are successful such as Donkey Punch, which is a successful british horror which just features white characters.

Class: From our research into Horror films we found that most horrors are aimed at C1C2DE. As it is using middle class characters and a middle class setting this will also guarantee a middle class audience. To bring in ABC1s we could have used more sophisticated characters such as a adult for them to relate too.

Regional identity: Even-though Northern films struggle a lot at the box office we still decided to keep with the northern accents and settings. However, there is advantages to using southern English characters and settings as it has an hegemonic status. Films such as Notting Hill, which is set in London, makes it accessible for a UK wide audience to relate to as its the capital of the country, therefore making it successful. Using northern England stereotypes could jeopardize the foreign sales as the southern England stereotype is normally the one given out to other countries. But there are successful Northern films which have overcome this such as Full Monty and This is England
