Our media product represnts particular social groups by following typical stereotypes. This is done by the use of characters and costume. For example, a white man in a suit is a typical stereotype. This is because people dont typically think of women or black people in a suit. We have done this only because of the lack of ethnicity in our group. However, instead of a man being in a suit we could've had a woman in a suit to conflict against this typical stereotype. Furthermore, the man is dead. This isn't a typical stereotype of men being the triumphant hero. We have done this to add mystery to our opening sequence.
Another example of a particular social group we have presented is women. We have presented women as being hysterical and weak in our media product. We have done this by Grace playing the lead role of a girl who finds a dead body when she wakes up in a car park with no memory of how she got there or what happened. Once she discovers the dead body she panics and doesn't know what to do. This is a typical stereotype of how people see women in stressful and confusing situations.
This short clip shows how we've presented each gender.
