The document discusses how media products represent social groups. It identifies seven key areas of social representation: gender, age, sexuality, regional identity, ability/disability, class and status, and ethnicity. The response then analyzes the representation in the film "The Final Fight" across four of these areas. It notes that only male characters are represented, targeting an age group of 13-20. The main character comes from a poor background, showing his lower class status. This character also faces an inability to fight due to a foot injury.

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

2. We can group people together according to age, race, social class
and background etc. These groups can be represented differently.
Representation is presenting something from a specific point of
view.
There are 7 key areas of representation:
• gender-whether a person is male or female
• age-how old a person or a group of people are
• sexuality-a person's sexual orientation or preference e.g.
homosexual, bisexual, hetrosexual
• regional identity-identity with a specific geographic area
• ability/disability-how mentally and physically able a person is
• class and status-a broad group in society having common
economic, cultural or political status
• ethnicity-social group who have a common national or cultural
tradition

3. In my final product
social groups I’ll be
discussing are:

4. Gender
In my final product no female character is
seen, all the screen time is given to male
characters Harold & John. According to
Laura Mulveys theory male dominance is
there in my film ‘The Final Fight’. Both the
characters are shown as fighters.

5. Age
The mainstream genre of my opening
sequence targets a distinctive range of
people of age group 13-20. Because of
the action and storyline of the
sequence which include fight scenes
and a story of a boy from a poor
background.

6. Class & Status
In my film ‘The Final Fight’ the main
character Harold belongs to a really
poor background. He lives in a small
room and the condition of his room
‘mis-en-scene’ of the film shows us
that he is from lower class even he
does have a proper plaster on his
foot.

7. Ability & Disability
Harold the main character of my
opening sequence was a fighter and
he wants to fight in the championship
because of the prize money which can
change his world as he is a poor guy
but he is unable to fight because he is
physically disable, his foot is injured
due to which he can’t even walk
properly.
