Evaluation Question#2How does your media product represent

particular social groups ?

We can group people together according to age, race, social class

and background etc. These groups can be represented differently.

Representation is presenting something from a specific point of view.

There are 7 key areas of representation:

• gender-whether a person is male or female

• age-how old a person or a group of people are

• sexuality-a person's sexual orientation or preference e.g. homosexual, bisexual, hetrosexual

• regional identity-identity with a specific geographic area

• ability/disability-how mentally and physically able a person is

• class and status-a broad group in society having common economic, cultural or political status

• ethnicity-social group who have a common national or cultural tradition

In my final product social groups I’ll be

discussing are:

GenderIn my final product no female character is

seen, all the screen time is given to male

characters Harold & John. According to

Laura Mulveys theory male dominance is

there in my film ‘The Final Fight’. Both the

characters are shown as fighters.

Age

The mainstream genre of my opening

sequence targets a distinctive range of

people of age group 13-20. Because of

the action and storyline of the

sequence which include fight scenes

and a story of a boy from a poor

background.

Class & Status

In my film ‘The Final Fight’ the main

character Harold belongs to a really

poor background. He lives in a small

room and the condition of his room

‘mis-en-scene’ of the film shows us

that he is from lower class even he

does have a proper plaster on his

foot.

Ability & Disability

Harold the main character of my opening sequence was a fighter and he wants to fight in the championship because of the prize money which can change his world as he is a poor guy but he is unable to fight because he is physically disable, his foot is injured due to which he can’t even walk properly.
