How does your media product represent
particular social groups?
By Connor Brumby

2. Visible Information
Male
Early 20’s
Able-bodied
Upper-Lower Class
Representation
The character of Li is portrayed as a able-bodied male. During the brief time that he is show, he
is seen running through a wooded area. He doesn't say any line, not giving much information
about his characters personality. Although he seems to be escaping, he looks as if he is worried,
which at this point could mean that weak or not sufficiently equipped to deal with what is
chasing him. This somewhat goes against the action hero style of male characters, where the
main character would fight of an army of men with a stick and some string that he found.
Li
(Calum Dowse)

3. Rosaline
(Amy-Ann Edwards)
Visible Information
•Female
•Early 20’s
•Able-bodied
•Middle Class
Representation
The character of Rosaline is portrayed as a able-bodied female. During the time that Rosaline is
on screen she doesn't say anything, but unlike Li, the reasoning behind this is to show that this
character won't break under pressure, her lack of lines show that during the interrogation, she
has the upper hand although she has been beaten. This also shows that this character is also
strong willed and would stick to cause. This also goes against the stereotypical female
companion that is captured just to be saved in the movie by the male character.

4. Boris
(Callum Simpson)
Visible Information
•Male
•20’s
•Able Bodied
•Lower-Middle Class
Representation
During this opening, the character of Boris has the most lines, this allows for people to get an
idea of what this character is like by the way that he acts during a conversation. During the
interrogation scene Boris is shown as the dominate male of the scene asserting his over the
woman, but as the scene progresses, he notices that he has no control over the situation and
attempts to resolve this with violence. This leads to him slapping and punching Rosaline, now
that shows hes violent, but also shows that he is morally okay with hitting a woman.
