How does your media product represent particular social groups?

(Character profile: Natalie)

Natalie’s character is not a stereotypical representation of someone with mental instability. It would be unfair and wrong to assume that all people with metal problems are psychotic and weird. For the sake of our movie we have represented her in this way as our movie is a psychological thriller. We are not told Natalie’s real age, but she looks young and she wears converse (a brand that is popular among teenagers). The most important part of her character is the mental instability; we therefore focused on representing this instead of focusing on age or gender.
