Speaker 1: What does the term representation mean? What social group have you represented in your film opening? And have you represented them in a positive or a negative aspect?
Speaker 2: The way groups are presented in the media and popular culture, often through stereotypical images that affect our views of gender, race, class, age, and ability. My media product represents a youth social group in a stereotypical manner but with contrast in gender differentiation. The sub-genre of my thriller sequence is psychological thriller my film has a female in the leading role this creates a contrast with the stereotypical views of youth social groups because a male is portrayed in a dominant way with stereotypically masculine features such as violence and aggression. However, in my media product the female character is shown to be involved in crime and violence. Whereas, the male character is portrayed in an innocent light as he is being tortured by the female character because she is more superior. I have represented the female character in a negative aspect but the male character in a slightly positive aspect as he is innocent and is portrayed as a victim in order to create contrast. My film displays common stereotypes of young people as both the characters are teenagers - around 17 years old. The female character is represented in a stereotypical manner as she is involved in crime, violence and aggression.
Speaker 1: Great work. Where have you learnt this from?
Speaker 2: Thank you. From an AS student named Ayesha Ahmed who studies media in city and islington sixth form college.
