It believes the characters are portrayed negatively and stereotypically as struggling, doing suspicious illegal things for money due to their lower class status and higher crime rates in their areas.
Question 2
The document discusses representation of social groups in film noir movies and the opening sequence of a film. It analyzes how the main character, a young white male detective in his 20s, breaks stereotypes of typical film noir protagonists being older experienced white men aged 30-40 years old.

Question 2
The document discusses representations of social groups in media. It analyzes the representations in the title sequence, including of a religious fanatic protagonist through lighting and props. A vulnerable blonde female is represented as prey being chased, reinforcing stereotypes. Viewers may also perceive a representation of citizens in the Bible Belt region, through the heavy religious imagery and Southern preacher voiceover, aligning with stereotypes of that group as well while not depicting unintelligence.

Q 2
The document discusses how the media product represents various social groups through its characters. The two main characters are middle/upper-middle class males portrayed through their clothing. This challenges stereotypes by depicting the killer as middle class rather than working class. Both characters are also young to appeal to younger audiences, and are portrayed through more mature clothing. They are both ethnically white to match the demographic of the area and allow for broader audience connection despite stereotypes of criminals belonging to minority groups.
Question 2 - how does your media product represent particular social groups?
This document discusses how the film ThreeSeven represents several social groups. It represents teenagers aged 15-19 through its two main characters. It portrays this age group as criminals, mischievous, arrogant, and unaware of life's importance. The film also represents the working class as money-obsessed and willing to engage in criminal activity to support their families. Additionally, it represents regional identity by depicting a run-down, deprived area of the West Midlands. Gender is represented through casting two typical male characters who engage in violence and crime, portraying male teenagers in a stereotypical way. The film aims to authentically portray these social groups based on real-life stereotypes.
Question 2
The document discusses how the media product represents certain social groups through the character introduced in the opening sequence. It represents:
- Ethnicity/race by having a white female character to portray vulnerability and need for rescue, following stereotypes.
- Gender by having a young, attractive female as the main character who is both the "damsel in distress" but also challenging norms by being the lead.
- Age by having a teenage character who challenges stereotypes of being irresponsible by having responsibility and maturity, aiming to provide a positive representation.
The character representations aim to appeal to target audiences by following some stereotypes but also challenging others to make the character and film more interesting and thought-provoking

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?
- 1. HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS?
- 2. DOES MY MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT ANY SOCIAL GROUPS Due to my opening title sequence being abstract, it doesn’t give away much about the characters involved in the actual film, despite a lot of pictures shown. However, some are supposed to represented as in the film such as Jennifer Love Hewitt. As a result, social groups are not explicitly represented or shown but are implied in the title sequence, however not everyone would spot it.
- 3. MIDDLE CLASS The Middle class are not actually visually represented as such, but the main character is of middle class. The main character is in the film is ex cop of who was high ranking, which is an B class job. When you are in a B class you got to be highly skilled, which he is represented as, as being skilled and decisive, hence the name of the film being decisive. The woman and the little girl (mother and daughter), are wife and daughter of the main character. This therefore means that they are also of middle class but this is not explicitly shown.
- 4. HOWEVER... To most of audience they will see a lone parent (mother) and daughter being represented. Furthermore, lone parent families are usually associated to being of a lower class. In addition this is further emphasised by ethnicity being represented. The mother and daughter are both of black ethnicity. Black lone parent families are usually stereotyped and associated as low class or poor. On the other hand this is not how we are trying to represent these characters.
- 5. WORKING CLASS There are certain characters which are represented as working class which are both the suspects and criminals. Again ethnicity is important to representing. The characters of white or other ethnicity but not black are represented as working class. However, the mug shots of men who are in suits and are of black African or Caribbean, are meant to be represented as working class or even upper class or people of importance, to the audience, due to what they are wearing. This challenges the stereotype and the connotation related to ethnicity of other characters in this opening title sequence.
- 6. CRIMINALS AND GANG CULTURE The criminals shown such as the mug shot of Curtis Jackson connote there are going to be criminals in the film. His appearance and possibly his ethnicity could connote to the audience that he is from a lower class, which indeed that’s how we are trying to represent him as. He is supposed to be represented as a low class criminal, from a poor area and lives in poverty; crime is all he knows. He is supposed to also represent the sub culture and social group; gangs. Furthermore, this connotes what sort of characters will be involved in the film itself. Especially as there a few criminals shown in the sequence. There is a heavy stereotype of the criminals being from lower class and that's what we are trying to represent.
- 7. LAW ENFORCERS AND PEOPLE WITH HIGH AUTHORITY The law enforcers and people with high authority such as prosecutors are not visually shown in the sequence. However, it is connoted by the fact there are mug shots of criminals which suggest that people are being prosecuted. These are the people which have a lot of power and play an important part in the film.
