Evaluation Question 2

The Film represents the social group of teenagers/ students who perhaps have geeky tendencies or are particularly interested in home movies. It could also be said, the film leans more towards a white social background, as most hidden footage films represent a past time of filming in woodland over a scary mythical subject, that is stereotyped as a typical geeky thing to do that is culturally more significant in different racial classes than others.

















Another social group our film seems to represent are a teens. Since the film focuses on a group of students who are creating a documentary style piece for a history study. This relates to a younger generation who would be used to seeing educational trips and events. Attempting to represent groups who would usually go on such trips for educational purposes was the general idea, as trying to represent an older group of friends, wouldn't really express real emotions on how difficult working on projects is, and that things can go wrong. By representing a younger teenager group, the film is able to express their own thoughts in such a situation, would it occur and how they themselves could connect with what the film is trying to portray, that perhaps the struggle over projects can go as wrong as becoming lost.
