EVALUATION

How does your media product represent a particular social group

Our product represents the social group of gender, we show that with a “male” antagonist with a hidden face and the weak female protagonist. We represented that with the misc-en-scene, the black wearing and also hidden antagonist and the weak feminine victim. We underlined the antagonist with the case that he is taking drugs, what is typical for a Thriller. However we didn’t use sexuality as a social group because it may would miss understand as a homophobic attack, which we didn’t want to use in our film. This was a challenge with the codes and conventions to show a more gender based attack to see the common conventions of a Thriller
