2. Q2. How does your media product represent
particular social group?
I was immensely inspired by
this movie “A Walk to
Remember”, therefore, I
decided to represent the
same social group in my
final product, that has
been intelligently covered
in this movie. However, it
was not that much easy
and near to impossible
because of multiple
reasons.

4. In “A Walk To Remember” various social groups have
been represented, as it was a romantic drama movie
dealing with the themes of teenage plights, school life,
love, faith, and then, turning towards an unexpected sad
twist with lots of lessons (death of the protagonist), in
order to fulfill the demands of these themes different
people from different cultures, and age groups and from
different social groups have been shown. For example:
students (teens, further divided according to their
ethnicity, like Eric), teachers and parents (people
belonging to the middle age group), and the list goes
on.
5. It is easy to cover a vast variety of social groups and represent
them with great precision in a two hour long film, but is extremely
difficult to cover in the first two minutes of an opening sequence.
However, I’ve tried to cover that social group in my final product,
which has been represented in the opening of my inspirational
movie- teenagers!
6. In my final product, I’ve introduced my target audience to two
teenagers, who are Asians and fall under the age group of 16-19
years. The male protagonist represents the image of cool, broad,
sophisticated, rich spoilt brat. Whereas, the girl (the heroine) is a pure
example of sweet, innocent stereotypical heroine, who has all the girly
attributes which the target audience of romantic drama genre finds
extremely interesting, sweet and lovely. However, this gives a chick-
flick attribute to the product as well. Through, the costumes used this
feature is also highlighted that the characters of the story belong to
the upper or at least middle class, which is also a stereotypical
representation of particular groups for specific story lines.
