Evaluation Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups? (gender, age, sexuality, ethnicity etc)

In our thriller we included representation of certain social groups. One of which we included would be gender as the two main characters were both male. What this would mean is that as male is the dominant gender they should be manly and strong although in our thriller they were seen as weak in comparison to the other two masked men. This would then challenge hegemony as it isn't following the system of all men being strong and brave as the two main character were scared.

We have also included age as you can see that the two boys are both young and have something on them which isn't theirs, which could portray them as being thief's just because they are young teenagers which would also be agreeing with the stereotype of the young. 

Our thriller also includes the bad guys in hoodies and masks which would also follow the stereotype of all people in hoodies are thugs and bad guys, however this isn't always true.

In our film there is also a blue collar crime which takes place which is the kidnapping which is different to a white collar crime as that is something that takes place in a office such a fraud and is usually associated with the upper class, whereas blue collar is usually done by the lower class and is usually more hands on.
