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

I was looking into the death of Miss Yeates, 25, who was found Christmas Day, eight days after going missing from her home in the Clifton area of Bristol, which gave me the idea of doing a thriller with a woman being taken. We looked into to doing different starts, we thought through her splitting up with her boyfriend and being shook up when she got in the taxi but then we thought a better idea would to be her coming out of a club. I wanted to influence woman to fight back rather than let it happen and I wanted to persuade people not give up hope and make them try hard to fight and plan a way out. I thought the club was a better idea for these morals as it is teaching girls to be aware that at night there are people out there that would take them, so they need to make sure they don’t get too drunk and do something stupid. I think it will be a great learning block for young girls who are just starting to go out and get taxis late, no matter how nice someone may seem check there license.

Police charge Vincent Tabak with Jo Yeates murder  
Jo Yeates's body was found on Christmas Day A man has been charged with murdering landscape architect Jo Yeates.

Avon and Somerset Police said Dutch national Vincent Tabak, 32, who was arrested on Thursday, will appear at Bristol Magistrates' Court on Monday.

Miss Yeates, 25, was found dead on Christmas Day, eight days after going missing from her home in the Clifton area of Bristol.

Her body was found next to a country road in Failand, three miles from where she lived.

A post-mortem examination revealed she had been strangled.

Miss Yeates, who was originally from Ampfield in Hampshire, was reported missing by her 27-year-old boyfriend Greg Reardon on 19 December when he returned to their home after a weekend away visiting family in Sheffield.

She disappeared on 17 December after going for Christmas drinks with colleagues at her architectural firm.

Mr Tabak, an engineer, lived next door to Miss Yeates on Canynge Road.

Earlier this week a reconstruction for the BBC's Crimewatch programme was filmed, tracing Miss Yeates's last steps.

There have also been a number of public appeals from her family.



I also looked at the film ‘taxi driver’ which influenced me to make the driver something to do with war and maybe be mentally unstable which is why he was wearing an army jacket showing his obsession with the army. He is a working class soldier who has come back from fighting in Afghan and Iraq and may have watch a lot of friends dying and has come back with post traumatic stress disorder which has lead to mental health issues. He doesn’t have a job so is working in his own car to try and give people lifts and now has an obsession with young red headed girls and can’t bring himself to drop them home but has to take them back to his to for fill his needs.
