AS media final piece Evaluation - Question

number 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Social Groups: Gender There are various social groups which we

represent in our movie starting. The social group used for Gender is represented

by the killer and the protagonist both being males. The victim is female as she shows the innocents due to her being a girl.

Another possible representation could be the killer being a male. This is typical used in media to show 'male violence' as they are often stereotyped to be more violent towards women.

Social Groups: Relationships

Relationships are shown by the connection between the siblings. The emotions shown by Tobias when he saw his sister.

The relationship between criminals and the investigators is also shown. This is done through us showing the  stereotype of investigators doing interviews with criminals nowadays in prison and police station.

Social Groups:Class

Class is shown by the clothes worn being very casual, and as normal as possible. Also it's shown by the locations used for the scenes in the movie such as the alley, cheap policy station and the car park.

Social Groups: Race

We used actors which look like they have similar ethnicity to show their relationship being siblings, looking very similar to each other.

Also we used actors which will go with the names of the characters, suiting them well with their individual persona.
