The social group we are trying to represent are teenagers. The stereotype of today for a teenager is a "hoodie" and "Chav" or as being lazy with no responsibilities. We are trying to contradict this stereotype by showing the character as a strong willed,survivor character with lots of responsibilities as she is independent. That they can survive hard ship and battle through it to better times. However, in the opening scene we also show her as being a "real" person. This is when the man starts to attack her, there are many camera angles showing her fear. People say that the "teenager" is getting worse as time goes on, but we are trying to send a contradicting message to the audience.
Furthermore, we are also representing females as being strong and not being a weaker character. A convention of post-apocalypse films is to have a strong male character. This shows that if the time comes that women will stand up and survive. Many females portrayed as only caring about their appearance and not wanting to get dirty of do labour. we have illustrated our character in the exact opposite way. We also wanted to contradict that women wouldn't survive through an apocalypse.
