There are a few ways that social groups are represented within 'The Possession', the main hero character of Sam is wearing a smart suit and has a short haircut, showing he is a clean-cut effective character. The use of suit is similar to that of James Bond or Doctor Who in showing that the character has authority and is effective in portraying the dominant male role. The two teenagers, Luke and Jack, are wearing scruffy hoodies and jeans, showing them as less able, incompetent youths. This is reflected in the storyline as they both end up in trouble and having to rely on Sam, making the costumes fitting and representative of roles.
During the later scenes we see Sam relaxing in normal clothes, jeans and a t-shirt, showing that he is not authorative and proffesional all the time, he is more of a three dimensional character who has weaknesses. This is played out in the phone scene, when he suddenly looks very nervous and we know he is not as tough and bulletproof as he looks.
