Question Two
By Kimberley Ware
Question Two


How does your media product
represent particular social groups?
In our film opening we do use stereotypes, we
stereotype age and genre. We also challenge
social groups in our film opening. At some
points in our film opening we represent a
character being stereotyped negatively, this is
shown though what the character is doing and
saying. The clothes they wear and the setting of
our film opening is able to represent the social
groups that our characters are in.
In our film opening we have two pairs, one
being Lucy and Jay and the other being Bridget
and Johnathan, both pairs are different ages
and both have one of each gender. Lucy and
Jay are the younger of the couples and Lucy's
parents are the older couple. Both of these
couples immediately clash before they even
meet due to different opinions because of the
age differences.
The biggest gender stereotype occurs when it
is the meeting of the father and the boyfriend,
both women go inside and leave them to meet,
Johnathan is being childish and not saying
anything so Jay takes control and steps forward
to shake his hand but as he puts his hand out
Johnathan sees 'BJ' stereotypically Johnathan
is not impressed when he see this as thinks its
immature and childish.
Lucy and Jay
Lucy and Jay are a young couple, they have young
personalities and are modern. We scripted Jay so
he looked immature and childish just how young
people are stereotyped especially boys, we did this
by making Jay forget Lucy's parents names on the
way to their house so being a 'typical boy' he write
the letters 'BJ' on his hand to help him remember
this shows he is very immature which is
stereotypical a teenage boy. Whereas Lucy is very
in control and organises Jay and quiz’s him so he
knows about her parents, which shows she is very
mature which is stereotypical for girls her age.
Lucy and Jay

There is also a gender difference between the pair as Lucy
tell Jay they have five minutes, Jay instantly thinks that
she means sex which shows he is not serious about the
relationship and is just wanting a bit of fun which is why he
is so relaxed about the meeting with the parents. Whereas
Lucy says no as she is more mature and sensible and
wants Jay to make a good impression with her parents as
both her parents and Jay are very important to her. This is
stereotypical for teenage girls to want to find 'the one' and
fall in love very easy and also stereotypical for teenage
boy as they just want a bit of fun.
Lucy and Jay
Bridget and Johnathan
Bridget and Johnathan are Lucy's parents which means
they are much older than Lucy and Jay meaning their
views on things are much different. Gender is also
stereotyped between this couple as the first time we meet
Bridget she she cooking in the kitchen, this is stereotypical
for women as they are seen as housewife’s who do all the
cooking and cleaning. Johnathan is being a typical male
not helping with anything and complaining about his
daughter getting a boyfriend. This is a stereotypical father
as dad's are usually over protective and think no man is
good enough for their daughter which is why we based the
film opening on Lucy's parents. Bridget then changes from
being stereotypical as she orders Johnathan to come and
cut the vegetables.
Bridget and Jonathan
Location

Both couples have very different settings, Bridget and
Johnathan are set in a kitchen which is average sized and
very homely with photographs everywhere as well as pans
steaming and chopping boards out with vegetables. This
creates a lovely homely atmosphere. This shows that
Johnathan and Bridget are working-classed and have a
lovely family home. Lucy and Jay are located walking
down a country street wish might imply that they are posh
as they live in the country? As Lucy and Jay are outside
for their first scene it might suggest that they are more
outgoing which is also another stereotype for younger
people.
Conclusion

In conclusion in our film opening stereotypes
are displayed through age, gender, location,
clothing and what the characters say and do.
All these things segregate the different social
groups creating tension and battle against each
other. The biggest conflict is between the male
characters as they are both very stereotypically
different. All these parts are acted and scripted
in a way to make it believable for the audience
and so they can stereotype the characters.
