How does your media product represent social groups?


For the question "How does your media product represent social groups?" I decided to answer in the form of a infographic.

Here are some pictures of the characters in our thriller.

Our characters "Chloe" and "Lucy" give us our representation of females, they also represent the working class and youth.  They can be see in this picture that "Chloe" and "Lucy" are gossiping which is immature and frames them as less intelligent.

Again our characters of "Chloe" and "Lucy" can be seen as stereotypical girlie girls as they are discussing make up. This again frames them in quite a negative light suggesting that they may not be all that intelligent. 

In the end  both girls have no power to save  themselves they are helpless and weak and ultimately die because of this. 

When confronted with the hooded guy "Chloe" is helpless to do anything to stop him and has no power to save herself.

Our hooded murderer killing "Chloe" he gives us our representation of males and our ethnic minority, he also represents working class and youth.  When he is first introduced he is stalking the girls  which is predatiorial he is  silently watching his prey which is extremely animalistic. 

When "Chloe" and "Lucy" become aware of the hooded person watching automatic reaction is to run away which portrays them as being rather helpless. Then when the character of "Lucy" trips and the character of "Chloe" keeps on running this present her as cowardly but also as being selfish. 

Our male character is physical violence which conveys the male gender as aggressive and violent and dangerous this is seen as being a very masculine trait and very dominant and powerful.
