The production portrays a heterosexual sexuality through masculine stereotypes of the protagonist as a survivor.

2. 
My media production represents the following: (relating to social
groups) • Class • Race • Gender • Sexuality

3. 
The audience that my production
is targeted at would be middle
class. Income bracket B.I have
represented class within my
production through my
protagonist, as he can be seen to
be middle class through the
narrative, withstanding the
disaster and having the
knowledge to solve the enigma.
However, the way his he is
dressed and presented challenges
the stereotype that the middle
class are well presented, clean and
tidy – likewise the narrative is
supportive of the stereotype as the
protagonist has been through a lot
according to the storyline.

4. 
RACE• The race of my social I am representing is
white.• My production’s protagonist is white –
the narrative suggests he is a survivor and a
warrior as he withstood a disaster, this challenges
the convention that black people are stronger
than white people.• Also, my production has no
black characters. This can challenge the
stereotype that black people are stronger than
white people as the audience are lead to believe
the protagonist is the last man on earth.• My
production does not contain physical violence, or
gun crime (which is stereotypical for black
people) and therefore casted are production with
white characters.

5. 
In my production, I represented my main character ‘Percy
Buentos’ in a modern way. I backed this up by the type of shot
I’ve used which was a close up. The close up managed to give a
iconic feel to my character which was important so that my
audience will be attracted it to it. This is also a common stereotype
in music magazines as they tend to use special effects on main
images to make them stand out.

6. 
The sexuality I portrayed in my production is heterosexual, as this
is traditional. This can be seen through the masculine role as the
survivor which my protagonist has. This confirms the stereotype
that men are seen as masculine.
