Question 2
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in the media producer's thriller film opening. The male protagonist is presented as weak and victimized by the female antagonist, challenging gender stereotypes. The female character is portrayed as powerful and confident, fitting a common thriller trope of using a frightening little girl. All characters are white British, allowing stereotypes around Britishness to be both challenged and portrayed. The ages of the characters, ranging from 13 to 30 years old, are dressed and presented in ways that fit both their age groups and the professional roles of two adult characters. However, the 13-year-old female character subverts expectations by having more power and confidence than the male protagonist.

The representations of gender in horror films essay
In horror films, representations of gender are more varied than in other media. Women can be portrayed as both extremely weak or strong, taking on active roles rather than just passive ones. The "final girl" trope allows the main female protagonist to survive until the end of the film, taking on a more masculine role as the hero who defeats the monster. However, presentations of women in horror films still vary significantly within the genre and even within individual films, showing both weak and strong characteristics. While they receive more varied portrayals than other media, representations of gender in horror films remain complex and uneven.
50 shades of grey good until it's not
The document provides a critique of the film 50 Shades of Grey, arguing that while it portrays some positive aspects of female sexuality, it ultimately idealizes and excuses an abusive relationship. Specifically:
1) The relationship between Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele is emotionally and physically abusive, with Grey stalking, controlling, and violating Steele's boundaries repeatedly without her consent.
2) While the BDSM sex scenes are respectfully portrayed, this does not excuse the overall storyline that allows Grey to completely abuse and manipulate Steele outside of their sexual activities.
3) By portraying Grey's abusive behavior as acceptable because he is dominant, the film sends the dangerous message that it is okay for men to control
Normalizing Male Dominance
This document analyzes gender representation in films from 2012. It finds that most lead characters were male and women were often portrayed in stereotypical roles. For example, in The Avengers, the sole female character is sexualized and the only one who cries. Films like Project X and 21 Jump Street normalize male adolescent behavior and objectify women. However, The Hunger Games features a strong female lead who defies gender stereotypes. In superhero films, women are typically rescued by men and relationships focus on pursuing the female interest.
Gender
The document discusses representations and stereotypes in media. It provides examples of both traditional stereotypes, such as dominant males and subservient females, as well as some examples that challenge stereotypes, like the empowered female characters in Kill Bill. The document also discusses Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze, which argues that media typically presents the world from a masculine point of view, with women as passive objects for the male viewer. It notes that while representations have evolved, objectification and male ideologies still influence many media portrayals of gender. The document stresses the ongoing need to thoughtfully examine representations and stereotypes across different forms of media.
Evaluation part 2
The document discusses how the author's media product represents certain social groups. It represents gender through a femme fatal female villain and male villain. The location is set in an old office in a large city. Both main characters are between ages 40-50. The female appears confident and well-dressed, while the male is in a scrappy office. The female is depicted as strong and manipulative, while the male is powerful but upset. Some stereotypes include the scrappy office setting, the male's cliched clothes, and including a femme fatal, but the female being stronger is an anti-stereotype.
Gender representations Within Movies!
After analyzing many movie trailers and posters, the document finds that there are clear gender stereotypes in how women and men are portrayed in horror media. Women are often sexually objectified and depicted as emotional, while men are shown as tough and protective. Males usually take on active, leading roles, whereas females are usually part of a group and take passive, supporting roles. Additionally, women are often only young and white, while men can be depicted across ages, races and classes. However, the horror genre sometimes challenges these norms through characters like the "final girl", who can be more masculine and survive to the end.
Evaluation 2
This document discusses representations of characters in thrillers and how they relate to social groups. It analyzes the protagonist, antagonist, and victim characters in terms of gender, age, class, race, and sexuality stereotypes. The victim character in the thriller is discussed as a young, attractive black woman who challenges stereotypes of female sexuality and race. The antagonist is left intentionally vague but dressed in stereotypical dark clothing for psychotic male characters. Representations are seen as beneficial for audiences to understand stereotypes but also have room for challenging expectations.
2. How does your media product represent particular social groups? - Final
The document discusses how the media product portrays different social groups through the dress and characteristics of the murderer and victim.
For the murderer, he is dressed in business-like clothes implying he is of a higher social class, reflecting the profile of Jack the Ripper who he is based on. This portrays the victim as an adult and plays into stereotypes of men being stronger and more violent.
The victim wears generic running clothes, not revealing much about her background or status. Female victims are often portrayed as weak, vulnerable targets for male serial killers, reflecting real cases like Jack the Ripper and Ed Gein that only targeted women.
While the murderer's gender and strength fit common stereotypes for serial
2.how does your media product represent particular social
The document discusses representations of social groups, particularly gender, in horror movies and the author's own media product. It notes that males are typically portrayed heroically or villainously while females are usually victims or "final girls." It then analyzes the representations in its opening sequence, finding that one female character conforms to tropes as a vulnerable victim while the other subverts expectations as the aggressive villain. While intending to challenge norms, the narrative remains centered on resolving conflict between the male and female exes. It concludes by acknowledging other excluded social groups.
Q2 How does your Media Product Represent a particular Social Group?
The document analyzes the representation of characters in the film "Broken Bonds" and whether they conform to stereotypes. In the beginning, the male character Scott Parker is portrayed as weak and inferior, breaking stereotypes, but later is shown as strong and bold, following stereotypes. The female character Stacy is only referenced needing to be rescued, fitting stereotypes. The supernatural character Zion is initially scary but later helps the male character, portrayed as both threatening yet heroic, following and breaking conventions.
Question 2
The document discusses how the media product represents social groups. It focuses on the sole female character who is portrayed as weak when confronted with paranormal forces, reflecting common stereotypes. Additional characters introduced later would represent other groups like police officers, teenagers, and children. Police could be shown as helpful or useless, teenagers as adventurous but rebellious, and innocent children are included to make the story scarier for audiences.
Question 1
This document provides character analyses for the three main characters - Kyra, Lilly, and Rhiannon - in the gritty thriller film "Cyberbully". It examines the meaning and connotations of their names, describes their costumes and any props, and compares their behaviors and personalities to characters in other well-known films to show how they develop or challenge conventions of the thriller genre. The analyses find that while some character elements are generic, others subvert expectations through unconventional costume choices and ambiguity about their roles as protagonists or antagonists in the story.
Representation 24:25
The presentation analyzes how female characters in gangster films challenge John Berger's theory that "men act and women appear" by being depicted as independent, powerful figures. Examples are discussed from Scarface, The Godfather Part II, and Casino, showing women defying the male protagonists and asserting their own agency. However, the genre ultimately subjects the transgressive women to tragedy as punishment for resisting patriarchal control. Primary research found that viewers perceive the modern portrayal of women in the genre as being more "active and dominant."
Presenattion q2
This document summarizes the representation of social groups in the author's media project opening. It represents males in a regressive way through a violent male antagonist, reinforcing stereotypes of male aggression. It also represents disabled individuals and those with mental health issues regressively through the antagonist's implied conditions. However, it provides a progressive representation by using a male protagonist rather than the typical female victim, challenging conventions. While the antagonist suggests negative stereotypes about homosexuality, the use of a confident male protagonist offers a counter to typical teen horror representations.
Actors
The document lists and describes the main actors needed for the opening two minutes of a film. It explains that the actor playing Rosalyn will wear a long wig to appear feminine as the character is a young woman. The actor playing Francis' age does not matter as only his lower face will be shown, and his deep voice suits the character. The actor playing Liam appears younger in pictures but looks adult when serious and has a commanding voice fitting a leader. Remaining actors will be supporting characters to seem young and easily influenced at the beginning to form opinions of their group.
Character annalysis
Typical characters in psychological thriller films include stalkers, convicts, criminals, and psychotic individuals who present a threat. Innocent victims and vulnerable characters are also often featured to generate sympathy from audiences and a sense of fear. Authority figures are sometimes included but tend to be unable to provide help due to the nature of the genre. These characters frequently have dark pasts or obsessions that motivate their present dangerous behaviors, and exploring the cause of this through the film's plot is common. Combining character traits can make for more exciting storylines that surprise audiences.

- The main character Lucy Brown, a young white middle class woman, and two stalkers portrayed as male. Two detectives are only heard through voiceover, representing an older age group.

- Youths are portrayed as aggressive through their interactions. A teenage girl with purple hair subverts expectations of blonde victims, portraying her as a rebel among her peers.
Evaluation of captive
This document summarizes the representation of various social groups in a student film opening. It discusses how the characters of Robin, Jess, Robin's mom, and their friend group either reinforce or challenge stereotypes related to age, gender, ethnicity, class, and sexuality. The film opening features mostly middle-class white British and Scottish teenage characters. It explores how their interactions and the events portrayed in the opening relate to common stereotypes about these social groups. The document also discusses the use of cinematography, mise-en-scene, and other film techniques in portraying the characters and furthering the narrative.
Psycho gender
This document discusses representations of gender in psychological thriller films. It analyzes the character of Marion Crane in Psycho, describing her as a flawed but strong female character that deviates from the typical "femme fatale" archetype. The document also discusses the male gaze in Psycho and the lack of significant female characters in Seven. It provides examples of how Jodie Foster's character in Silence of the Lambs and Helen Mirren's character in Prime Suspect take on traditionally male roles. The document also analyzes the contrasting characters of Somerset and Mills in Se7en and how Norman Bates is a complex character in Psycho shown through lighting techniques.
Question 2
Representation in media often follows stereotypes. In thrillers:
- Heroes are typically white, middle-class men without disabilities. Villains are more diverse and often from poorer backgrounds.
- Female characters are usually portrayed as vulnerable and relying on men for help, rather than furthering the plot.
- Ethnic representation commonly plays into stereotypes, such as Asians being intelligent but violent criminals, and Latin American women being sex symbols. White people are usually protagonists.
The analyzed media portrayal challenges some conventions by showing an independent female character who escapes danger rather than being helpless, though the representation of the male assassin reinforces physical intimidation stereotypes. Overall the representations provide both positive
Question 2
The media product represents social groups in unconventional ways. A young female character who is usually portrayed as innocent is instead depicted as sinister and threatening. An adult male protagonist in his 40s is shown as vulnerable rather than powerful, as he does not notice the antagonist walking behind him and lacks power. However, he is also brave in investigating strange sounds without hesitation, retaining some aspects of traditional masculinity through his courage.
Question 2
The document discusses how the media product represents various social groups through its characters. It describes the clothing, poses, and roles of several main and supporting characters to show how they represent groups such as women, men in vulnerable positions, and people who do not want their current jobs or situations. The document also discusses how mise-en-scene focuses on the strong female lead character and how genre conventions and techniques appeal to the target action movie audience.
Representation in my production
This document analyzes aspects of the protagonist and other characters in a dystopian film. It discusses how the protagonist, Aurora, subverts expectations by being female in a typically male-dominated genre. Her ragged clothing and lack of makeup imply she must act masculine to survive. While the film features some diversity, the minority character plays a small role and is marginalized, suggesting tokenism. The protagonist is portrayed as a stereotypical moody teenager through her cynical internal monologue and surroundings in an abandoned area, continuing tropes of troubled youth.
Q2 updated
The document discusses representations of gender and ethnicity in thriller films. It notes that women are often portrayed as sex objects, damsels in distress, or femme fatales who are sexualized and meet tragic ends. The author's film aims to challenge these stereotypes by having a strong, independent female protagonist whose gender is unimportant. While the film portraits gender equality better than ethnicity due to its limited cast, the author acknowledges thrillers generally lack diversity.
Question Two
The document discusses themes of gender, age, ethnicity, and other attributes in a proposed sci-fi film. It would feature an 18-year-old female lead named Yuri, subverting conventions of the genre. Her young age allows her to challenge stereotypes of heroes typically being older adults. While some characters reinforce stereotypes, others like female soldiers and a woman scientist subvert expectations. The film aims to incorporate diverse themes and identities while keeping the plot its central focus.
Cast Choice
The document discusses casting choices for a film production. It provides a character breakdown for the leading female role of Milly, a 22-year-old introverted artist. The document discusses choosing a female lead to empower women and convey independence. It then announces casting Laura Wilson, a 19-year-old actress, in the role. Laura is described as mature, able to convey emotions through movement and facial expressions, and committed to the production. A contract and release forms will be sent to secure Laura in the role.
Question 2: ‘How does your media product represent particular social groups?’
The document discusses how the media product represents social groups through its characters. It notes that the female protagonist Joan is portrayed as powerful and in control over the male hostage, contrasting common media portrayals of women as victims. It also aims to represent diversity through the inclusion of characters from different ethnicities and nationalities, such as Joan who is Jamaican and an ally named Dimitri who is Russian. The document argues this more positive representation of gender and inclusion of diversity will be well received by audiences.
Question 2
The document discusses the representation of social groups in a media product. It notes that the media product portrays a strong female protagonist who tortures a male hostage, contrasting common portrayals of women as victims. It also features a racially diverse cast, including a Jamaican female protagonist and Russian ally, avoiding stereotypical portrayals of these groups. The document argues this representation of empowered women and diverse racial groups is realistic and will be well-received by audiences.
Women in film
This document discusses gender roles in films from different time periods. It provides examples of how gender roles were portrayed traditionally in films like You've Got Mail from 1998, compared to more modern portrayals in films and TV shows like Sex and the City that showed more independent women. It also discusses how magazines like Cosmopolitan aimed to "liberate" women sexually and how little mainstream media content explicitly targets LGBT audiences due to being produced through a heterosexual male gaze.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Question 2
- 1. Question 2 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.
