Evaluation- How does your media product represent particular social groups?


My media product represents women and men in society however they are not represented in a typical way; this is typical of a thriller movie. In my film I have represented men to be the inferior sex as opposed to women being the less superior gender. This is typical of a thriller movie as the target of a thriller movie is to make the audience unaware of exactly what is going on but let them piece together the plot of the film. This is similar to movies such as ‘Kill Bill’ (2003) where the introduction of the film a flashback form the past, then it skips forward and backward in time.

It could also be said that it depicts teenagers and students to be unpredictable and unknown in that you would not expect this from a normal teenage school girl. It shows us that the understanding of teenagers of today could be completely wrong. Male teenagers are seen to be dominant, violent, aggressive and unpredictable. This contrasts the observation most people make at a glance of a teenager as in my film he is illustrated to be weak and it is the female who is seen to be the violent one. 

Our characters were dresses in smart/casual clothes. We thought this would be appropriate as these are the kinds of clothes that we are obligated to wear to school thus allowing our target audience to feel the same way towards the characters and how they come across. We did not use any props in the scenes of the film- this allowed the audience to piece together, for themselves, what has actually gone on.
