Evaluation Question 2
How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My media product depicts teenage stereotypes and also gender and race stereotypes. It represents gender stereotypes at the beginning of the film where Sarah is conveyed as being a dumb female. She dropped her phone and did not even notice and this scene made her look fragile and careless. The stereotype that males are superior to women is also conveyed in my media product. When the Stalker takes the phone, it displays a mans dominance and that he is in full control of the situation whereas the female is naive and weak. This stereotype is used in a lot of films, typically in the 1900s where women where labelled as 'housewives'. Nowadays it has declined in society but it is still indirectly seen in many films. Moreover, another stereotype that was presented in my media film is the stereotype of black males through myself. This is actually a very common stereotype that displays young black males with criminality and antisocial behaviour. This is seen in my media product when I initially take Sarah's phone and then do something to her. At first because I am a young black male and wearing dark clothes and have my hood up, I am labelled as a thief and also a criminal. By me having my hood up and looking rather dodgy, I'm portraying the typical stereotype of a gangster. I think by having these stereotypes present in the film it makes the product more believable and also more exciting.
Hopefully this mind map will aid your understanding of some of the stereotypes we tried to potray.How does your media product represent particular social groups?
