CONVENTIONS CHALLENGE

Narrative/ Dialogues

This convention was challenged because we

thought that if we use narration or dialogues in

our scene, it would make it look boring and it

would not entertain the audience.

Challenged by using voice overs.

REPRESENTATION OF A PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUP

Asians

‘Nerd’ and ‘clever’ Asian who gets an A

Black Ethnicity

Brandon who gets a F on his paper

Stereotype

Different Social Groups

Jayesh Mohane

REPRESENTATION OF A PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUP

Positive Stereotype

Asian character is a positive stereotype because

the main character in our opening scene is an

Asian who is the only student in the class to get

an A in the paper while the others get a grade F

This meets the sociological stereotype of Asians

being smart

Negative Stereotype

Black student shown as a failure
