The media product represents particular social groups, as within the film we have representations from two different social groups. There is the Mother figure who is from an older generation, and then the other group is the children are at Jane's birthday party. The main group we focus on is the children; they are portrayed as innocent in the opening of the film, apart from Jane as it appears as though she has been taken to the dark side from the possession of her doll. She seems to be 'different' from her friends and not the stereotypical child as she has been possessed. As Jane has no control over her possession of the doll she continues to act in her unusual character. The other children are very 'normal' as they are singing sweetly and being happy at what they think is a normal friend's birthday party. The other children represent stereotypical children of their age as their behaviour is very regular. The children's facial expressions and gestures that they display, tell the audience that they are having a fun time and are completely unaware to Jane’s transformation in character.
Through the use of mis-en scene with typical party house location with balloons and soft lighting, we thought a good atmosphere was created for the location. Also we thought the layout of the room was good as the camera could capture all the action from various angles. The typical party food and clothing was also desired for the film, I think that this added to the whole party scene and make it look ideal.
It was quite challenging getting the children together, and managing them was quite difficult, within the film the children look quite chaotic anyway, I feel that they represent their social group well as their characteristics were shown to be very loud and excited. We showed their behaviour through close ups and over the shoulder shots to try and capture the children's true qualities, as children at their particular age group act natural when having fun.
