Task 2: How does your product represent particular social groups?

Angel dust represents the young adults of today particularly the social networking websites and many teenagers who all use social networking . A horror film which uses facebook to draw and find victims for a murder is very relevant and current today when young people are often in the newspaper, having been killed after being groomed or lured to meet strangers on the internet. We are all unaware at who is watching or looking at our at our blog and Internet pages so we can feel like is a very venerable place to be and this fear is a very new one particularly to the users of the Internet who are the majority and can come from all social background as the Internet is so widely available these days, and can also come from all age ranges though the younger the more vulnerable usually as these people are the most naive to the dangers of the world wide web. This young adult age range is what my film trys to convey as being at risk and that it is not really to do with race, social standing or location but the naivety of these young people. The victim (angel323) is the epitome of the factors that make some one more vulnerable on the Internet she was attractive on purpose (not only was this to attract the male audience but also to show just how exposed she really is). She is young and broadcasts information that anyone can read or watch and then is willing to meet up with people that she has never meet before and only knows by their screen name on the Internet (Lester727). This vulnerability factor in attractive young girls can be compared to many other horror films is a common feature in a huge percentage of them as shown below.
