evaluation question 2

1. Evaluation Question 2
How does your media product
represent particular social groups?

2. Our media product represents gender by making
our female characters look venerable. This has
been done through out our film as our female
characters are being followed without being
aware of it. This makes them look stereotypically
venerable as women are portrayed as weak in
comparison to men.
Also by having our female characters jogging
through the wood it also follows stereotypical
views of women within society as they are seen
to be obsessed with the way they look and their
body image.

3. Our film presents teenagers as naive. This is shown through
our film as when our teenage protagonist see’s the ghost child
in front of her, she just runs away. Also it is shown through our
dialogue as when our teenage protagonist is explaining where
they are going to be jogging, she sounds like she lacks
experience and knowledge of her surroundings.
Despite this, we also portray teenagers as independent and
responsible as our teenage protagonist has been given the
responsibility to be out with a child on her own. She shows
maturity as she protects the younger child from the danger of
the ghost as she drags her away from it as the end of the film.
She also shows maturity and responsibility as she shouts
‘Come on keep up’ to the young child, this shows that the
teenager is worried about the childs safety and does not want
to loose sight of her.

4. We portray children as vulnerable and oblivious as the
child has no idea what is going on. Also the child is
spoken to in controlling terms such as ‘keep up’ and
‘were almost done come on’. This shows the difference
in maturity between the two characters as the child is
not motivated enough to keep jogging. This is shown
were Lily is bent over on the bridge trying to catch her
breath. The oblivion is clearly shown towards the end
of the film where she does not know that she is in
danger and just repeatedly questions why she is being
dragged away.

5. We portray joggers in our 2 minute film opening
as vulnerable. This is due to them often putting
themselves at risk. People may often see joggers
as being a threat of danger due to them jogging
in isolated areas e.g. The woods or empty roads
at late at night or early in the morning. By
jogging at these times, it is more likely for
someone to be able to commit a crime upon
someone without being seen or heard.
