Question 2How does your media product represent certain social groups?

When representing social group in our film Noir, we had to make sure we had represent:

1.Gender

2.Locations

3.Age

4.Class and Status

5.Ethnicity

Male representation (The Detective)

The detective that features in my Film Noir was wearing a three piece suit- a shirt, a tie and black trousers. Detectives are commonly stereotyped as a middle aged man who is good looking. They have power over the females (Femme Fetals) just like any ordinary

male of the time but sometimes good looking Femme Fetals can influence them into acts of murder.

The location of our Film Noir, Poison , was set in the detectives office which is suited in New York, America. Locations for most Film Noirs were based in American because Film

Noirs of the 1940’s/1950’s related to problems or common actions in their way of life

Male representation (The Detective)

Status was shown in our Film Noir but with a twist. The males are usually more dominant over the Females and they would do as the males say. However, our storyline composed of the Femme Fetal being in control of the male. Both the Femme Fetal and the male detective were at medium/high class. They were both dress smartly, both good looking suggesting they regularly maintain their image.

The Ethnicity for the detective is white

female

ethnicity Ethnicity was not a topic that we focus on during the production process of creating the film Noir.

Whilst I was researching about Film Noirs I noticed that casts for Noirs were majority white and almost an all white cast sometimes. Other ethnic backrounds wernt granded the many oppotunnities as white people and therefore the majority of Film roles avaivle when to white people
