How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Media products such as films, tend to represent particular social groups. For example if your media product is aimed at a particular target audience you need to make sure the product is suitable and representable for that audience. A social group is, characteristics shared by members of a group, which may include interests, values, representations, ethhnic group or social background and kinship ties.

In our media product, we have represented a male character who is psychologically disturbed. This character is simply disturbed in the mind. The use of drugs and alcohol triggers him to assault, rape and kill people, however his main victims tend to be women. He takes advantage of the vulnerability and weakness of women.

This image portrays our psychologically disturbed character, he is dressed in black and keeps his hood on to disguise himself.

Adulthood is a film based on characters who have different characteristics. Adulthood has a character named Sam. In the film Kidulthood Sam is a bad person, who takes drugs, sexually assualts his girlfriend and kills someone. Like wise the character that we have represented also has the same problems and bad habbits. Both characters are dressed in dark colours and have their hoods up. Being dressed in dark colours and having your hood up can indicate that you are a threat and you use your hood for disguise.
