Evaluation: How does your media product represent social groups?

I have decided to chose Milly's character, Natasha for my character representing a Social Group, I decided to chose Milly because she is the new girl in the School where she doesn't know anyone and she doesn't know her way around this big new school.


This is Milly, before and after she was transformed by the Queen Bees.

Using Milly as a character means I can compare her to Cady Heron from Mean Girls and Poppy Moore from Wild Child.

This is what Cady used to look like before she was transformed. And this is what Cady looks like after she was transformed by the Queen Bees. Cady looks on edge in the first photo as Damian and Janis are the only people she knows, whereas in the second photo she was transformed by Regina, Gretchen and Karen. When you are transformed by the most popular girls in school everyone notices you, so then everyone knows you just because of the people she hangs out with. In the beginning of this film, the same with Milly Cady looks nervous about joining such a big school, as she doesn't know anyone, she then walks in to her Tutor room and Janis and Damian instantly befriend her, which is the same in our movie as when Milly joins the Queen Bees instantly snap her up and change her into what she is in the second picture. This again is the same as Mean Girls where Regina and her gang do the same to Cady.


This is a comparison between The Old Poppy, from when she first arrived at the school, to when she leaves the school finally settling into the school and making lots of friends. She looks really comfortable within herself. When Poppy first arrives in her school she finds herself sad being the outcast, as she is American and she looks down on the other girls, she also expects everything to be done for her. But she soon realises that she has to do everything herself, and the girls in her room start to help her. With Milly this is a difference as Natasha doesn't start life in a Boarding school. She comes from one though but she isn't stuck up or shows off, as she is nervous about being in a new school where she doesn't know anyone, but again, like Poppy she soon makes friends.
