The document discusses how a film represents three social groups: white British people, males, and teenagers. White British people are chosen to subvert the stereotype of them always being villains in action movies. A male character is chosen to challenge the belief that men are always brave by having him be scared. Teenagers are the leads to go against conventions of action movies typically featuring adults. The document argues that while the film changes the stereotype of all men being courageous, it does not portray any social groups negatively or positively, just differently than expected.

Question 2
The media product represents several social groups through its protagonist. It uses a male protagonist who is a small boxer, challenging conventions and implying he failed previously in his career. His young age shows his naivety, which is common for protagonists in sports films. He wears casual clothes like a hoodie and tracksuit, making transitions between scenes seamless. The character was influenced by Mark Wahlberg's role in The Fighter, who was also young, reckless, and struggling with addiction, eliciting audience sympathy as he matures over the film.

The document discusses research conducted on audience perceptions and expectations of superhero films. A focus group of teenagers was asked about what they expect, like, and dislike about superhero films. They expect action, fighting, romance, and unrealistic events. They like escaping into an exciting story and seeing attractive actors. Dislikes include unrealistic plots and predictable romance subplots. Research also examined the success of popular superhero films and their target demographics. Star power of actors and directors is important for attracting audiences.
Saraandmonishaquestionnaire
This document summarizes the results of a questionnaire given to 100 participants about their preferences regarding movies. The questionnaire collected information about the participants' gender, age, occupation, how often they watch movies, what influences their choice to watch a movie, their favorite and least favorite genres, specific favorite and least favorite movies, and how they access films. The results are presented in charts comparing responses from male and female participants. The document concludes that the results provide insights to help the authors promote and distribute their own short film.
Who would be the target audience for your media product
The target audience for the media product is males and females aged 15 and up. Research asking 34 people found that teenagers showed the greatest interest, though older people said they may watch as well. The more specific target audience is teenagers. Both a male and female were included in the opening to attract both genders. The target audience would likely enjoy films like The Hunger Games, The Road, I Am Legend, and The Book of Eli since the media product is similar. The media product received a 15 rating since there is strong language and violence but no sexual content. The target is late teens who could relate to being in a post-apocalyptic situation, and also older people aged 30-50 who may enjoy it to
Audience research powerpoint
Our target audience for the short film ranges from all races and genders between the ages of 15+ due to the dark and sinister tone. The audience will likely be fans of the psychological thriller genre as the film uses common elements of that genre like violence and symbolism. Most audiences generally enjoy big-budget Hollywood action and sci-fi films, though thrillers and horrors perform less well. However, as a genre-hybrid film, it could attract a larger, more varied audience. Both male and female protagonists are portrayed equally in hopes of attracting a mix of both genders, though research shows men typically watch more thrillers.
The target audience
The target audience for horror films is primarily males aged 15-25. This age group is old enough to watch R-rated horror films and are seeking thrills. Horror films also appeal to this demographic as they are maturing and horror movies can elicit different emotions. Additionally, the stereotype is that men enjoy being scared more than women and are more drawn to graphic violence. Mainstream audiences who see films first then spread the word also contribute to the genre's popularity as word-of-mouth increases viewership. Finally, horror films aim their marketing at the working class due to more affordable ticket and home video prices.

Media q 3 of 7
The film is based on the Dale Farm eviction and aims to interest audiences interested in current affairs between ages 18-35. It contains gory content like murder and rape. The ideal audience would be open-minded, ages 18-25, and enjoy films like 300, Gladiator, and Saw. The film would receive an 18 rating from the BBFC due to scenes of sexual violence, bloody violence, and depictions of discriminatory behavior to realistically portray the events at Dale Farm.
Discrimination in the media essay
The document discusses discrimination in media, focusing on homophobia, sexism, racism, and ageism. It provides examples of how homosexuality is often portrayed in cliched or stereotypical ways in TV shows, and how gay characters are usually written out after coming out. The document also notes that the BBC has been called the most homophobic broadcaster due to portrayals in shows like EastEnders and comments made by celebrities on the BBC. It concludes by discussing how Olympic diver Tom Daley felt forced to publicly come out, which shouldn't have been necessary or newsworthy.
Evaluation Q4 Amad
This document discusses the target audience for a sports drama film opening. The target audience is identified as males ages 13 to 30, as similar boxing films like Rocky and Cinderella Man attracted mainly male viewers in that age range. Research on IMDB showed Cinderella Man was most popular with viewers ages 13 to 29 of both genders, but especially males, and interest dropped off after age 30. The film would have a PG-13 rating due to themes of depression. In addition to males 13-29, the target audiences are identified as working class people who could relate to the protagonist's background, and the US market where boxing films are very popular.
Task 4 audience profile
This document discusses targeting a film trailer audience and considers several factors:
- The primary target audience for horror movies is 18-24 year olds, so the trailer will target this age range.
- While women watch more horror movies, the trailer will have a more masculine feel to appeal to men.
- Research on the target audience's preferred channels and brands suggests they enjoy sports, comedy shows, and developing their image through expensive clothing brands.

Villains!
The document defines a villain as the "bad guy" or "evil" character in a story that opposes the protagonist or hero. It discusses the three main types of characters - heroes, villains, and others - providing examples of famous heroes and villains from films and literature. It also poses questions about identifying the heroes and villains in the novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", asking whether the villains are always people or if other forces can represent evil, and if there is more than one hero or villain in the story.
Topics
During registration at their school, most teenagers would discuss what they had seen or heard while away from their peer groups. The girls were more likely to talk about the attractive actor Paul Walker and his blue eyes, while the boys were more inclined to discuss his death in the Fast and Furious films, where he played the best driver that always won races.
Fight club & juno audience theory
This document discusses two films - Fight Club (1999) and Juno (2008) - in the context of audience theory and debates around their film certification. For Fight Club, the BBFC had concerns about explicit violence scenes that could influence viewers, and required cuts to scenes of glamorized violence for it to receive an 18 rating rather than a more restrictive rating. For Juno, the BBFC felt references to sex and a brief horror scene meant it should receive a 12A rating rather than the requested PG, due to potential influences on adolescent viewers around topics like teenage pregnancy.
Secondary – males
This document discusses the target secondary audience for a film - males ages 15-25. It aims to attract this audience through sex appeal shown in the film and promotional posters, as well as through elements of gore and darkness that would appeal to Goth males. The female cast and certain edits to promotional materials are meant to accentuate sex appeal and attract this young male audience.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
The target audience for the media product would be males ages 16-24 who enjoy action films like James Bond and Mission Impossible. They enjoy sports and mainstream music and TV shows with action and violence like Breaking Bad. They would be drawn to a film that starts with immediate action involving cars chases, guns, and violence. Similar successful films like James Bond attract audiences of males ages 15+ through exciting car chases and firearms, as well as attractive female characters.
Evaluation question 4
The target audience for this media product is males and females aged 15 to late 30s. This is based on primary research the author conducted, asking 37 people which age groups would be most interested in a post-apocalyptic film. Statistics from the similar film "12 Monkeys" also showed highest ratings and interest from those aged 18-44, especially males. The author's film characters are teenagers to relate to this target audience. The film will be rated 15 due to strong language and violence, though there is no sexual content.
PR/JL3
The document discusses the marketing strategies for the 2011 blockbuster films Captain America: The First Avenger and The Thing. It provides details on the target audiences, directors, producers, budgets and box office earnings for each film.

The producers maximized sales by connecting the film to other superhero franchises and playing trailers for upcoming related films after the credits.
Evaluation
The document summarizes a short crime film called "Thursday's Runner" created by a group of students. The 2-minute film includes a chase scene involving young males, drugs, and violence, drawing on conventions of crime films like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The intended audience is young adults 15+ and mostly male. An independent UK film publisher called Coffee Films would be suitable for distribution given the film's low budget. The students learned basic digital camera and video editing skills through making the project.
Audience Justification
This document provides justification for an audience for a supernatural thriller film. It analyzes data showing that thriller films are among the top grossing genres and that 15-24 year olds frequently visit cinemas. While most top films are action or fantasy, examining films classified as thrillers on IMDb shows there is an audience for films like The Woman in Black, which featured horror elements. The document argues that audiences consume films through various platforms beyond cinemas. It concludes that thrillers appealing to 15-24 year olds, with a slightly higher male audience, could find success.
Media question 4 conor
The document discusses the potential audience for a media product and analyzes it according to a questionnaire, BBFC film ratings guidelines, and viewer profiles. Based on the level of violence depicted and lack of explicit content, the film would likely receive a 12A or 15 rating.

The film aims to connect with an 18-23 year old audience and will be no longer than 5 minutes. It draws inspiration from other short films dealing with mental health issues and suicide. The filmmakers will need to consider ethical issues in portraying the cause of the character's suicide attempt sensitively.
Going the distance - Mirphy
A girl exchanges emails with a boy and takes a train to London to meet him. In a montage, she gets ready and takes the train. When she arrives and waits, a bus passes by revealing the boy, and the shot cuts between them as they see each other for the first time in person.
Initial idea sam
The document provides a synopsis of an initial idea for a short film. It describes a couple arranging to meet at a café via text messages. Scenes would show each character getting ready for the date.

Mise en-scene costume - mirphy
The document describes the costume choices for several characters in a story. Lucy wears comfortable clothes like leggings and a baggy top that hint at her preference for comfort over fashion. Ed wears a white t-shirt to symbolize bringing light to Lucy's world. Brad wears black and skinny jeans to portray the stereotypical "cool guy." Charlie wears sloppy clothes like tracksuit bottoms and messy hair to show he does not care about his appearance. Chloe wears revealing clothes, makeup, and heels to portray the stereotypical feminine woman who cares about her looks. Blake wears all black clothes and makeup to portray the stereotypical "goth" character.
Question 1 - Fraser
Our film shares conventions with popular action films like the James Bond series and The Matrix. It begins with establishing shots and then action, similar to James Bond films. It also features a disappearing gun, like in The Matrix, to add mystery. Additionally, it contains a phone call scene reminiscent of the one in Taken where one person controls the conversation. While introducing danger and mystery like action films, our film differs by killing off the supposed hero quickly rather than connecting the audience to them. It still feels like other action movies due to its intense music and camera shots that build tension through close-ups showing fear.
Question 3 and 4 - Fraser
The document discusses the potential distribution and target audience for a comic book-based film about the Court of Owls from the Batman series. It suggests that Warner Brothers would be a good distributor since they have experience with comic book films and own DC Comics. It proposes an initial cinema release, followed by DVD, online, and streaming distribution. The primary target audience is identified as male teenagers aged 12-18, as comic book films appeal to this demographic. A secondary audience of teenage girls may also be interested due to themes of masked killers and intrigue.
Question 6 - fraser
The student learned several skills related to camera use, video editing, and production work through creating a film. They found operating the camera challenging at first but enjoyed experimenting with different shots. Editing software like iMovie was easy to use and allowed splitting audio tracks. The student's production skills improved significantly over the course, from cautious early shots to a better final product using a variety of shots without a difficult-to-use GoPro. To continue improving, the student aims to learn how to use a broader range of technologies.
Props
The document lists props that could be used in a film scene depicting a date at a cafe. These props include a laptop, 1975 poster, books, caffe nero drinks, cell phone, chair, table, computer, bottle of water, film magazines, and another 1975 reference to show common interests between the characters.
Mirphy Pitch
This document outlines the key elements of a romance film about two pen pals, Jess and Ryan, who meet in person for the first time in London. The film will show their emails and messages building up over time through montage, before Jess travels to London from her home. The film aims to introduce the unconventional main character Jess and establish the narrative of their long-distance relationship primarily through subtle means in the opening sequence. Technical elements like camera angles, editing, sound, and mise-en-scene are discussed to represent characters and advance the story when the two finally meet in London. The target audience is described as female teens and young adults who can relate to the modern-day narrative and countertypical characters.
Lighting
The lighting in both the girl's and boy's rooms is dark, with the only source of light coming from their laptops, representing that each sees the other as the light and happiness in their life. The date in the story will be a different color than the present to indicate it takes place in the past rather than the present.
Actors - Mirphy
The document discusses the casting decisions for various roles in a film. Jess was chosen to play Lucy because she had the right brunette hair and innocent look. Olivia was not chosen for Lucy but was chosen instead for the role of Chloe. Ryan was chosen to play Ed because he had the right image and fit the character. Evan was chosen to play Brad because he looked the part and had strong acting skills. Olly was chosen to play Charlie because of his experience acting difficult characters. Adam was chosen to play Blake because he was young which would suit the comedic role and look the part. Emily, Jake and Sean were not chosen - Emily did not seem innocent enough, Jake did not have the right attitude, and
Question 5 - fraser
We attracted our audience by linking the film to the popular Batman comic book universe and movies like The Dark Knight, which would appeal to existing fans. Using the mysterious Court of Owls villain that is unknown outside the comics also brought in new fans. Our target male audience was attracted by the inclusion of gun violence. Additionally, using teenage actors for the lead roles made the audience able to relate to the teenage characters. Audience feedback confirmed that these elements, particularly a tense phone call scene similar to one in Taken, helped engage viewers as intended.

Amarjit singh evaluation
The document discusses a student group's superhero film sequence and how it was influenced by and compares to other superhero films such as Spiderman, Iron Man, and Kick-Ass. The student analyzes the sequence and believes it effectively introduces the main character while challenging some conventions of the genre by having a non-Caucasian protagonist and being set in the UK rather than America. The student also feels the sequence realistically portrays some stereotypes of teenagers.
Question 2- AS Media
The documentary represents several social groups:
- Males are portrayed as both antagonists who experimented on females causing widespread death, and as a distressed newscaster. This reinforces stereotypes of males being dominant and powerful.
- The female protagonist is both a weak and fragile sole survivor struggling with isolation, but also strong and independent in her ability to survive on her own. This breaks gender stereotypes of females needing male protection.
- The film portrays only white British citizens due to the filmmakers' limited access to actors of other ethnicities.
- Teenagers are the subjects of the film to make the storyline more relatable and engaging for the target teenage audience.
Shades of grey
The document summarizes a student's media project analyzing an opening film sequence they created with a group. The student directed a psychological thriller exploring themes of mental illness through a protagonist with dissociative identity disorder. Though plans changed due to unreliable actors, the black and white sequence introduced the character and an unsolved death. Feedback showed the revised plot was more engaging. The student learned about technologies like iMovie and the importance of lighting, smooth editing and mystery over dialogue. Overall, the experience highlighted challenges of group work but also strengths like resourceful lighting and an enthusiastic actor.
Evaluation question 2
The media product represents various social groups including class, race, age, gender, and sexuality through its characters and their portrayals. The main characters are middle class white teenage boys around ages 16-24, fitting stereotypes of that demographic. Race is also represented, with white and mixed race main characters and African villains, challenging some racial stereotypes. The target audience is ages 16-24, and masculinity is portrayed through the heterosexual male characters and villains. Overall the title sequence aims to represent different social groups through its characters and their interactions.
Media Evaluation Q2
The media product represents a lower social group of teenage males through its all-male teenage cast. Stereotypes of young males like wearing hoodies and bonding like in Fast and Furious were portrayed naturally. The isolated house location also fits thriller conventions. The victims behave typically for teenage boys, wearing hoodies and jeans and messing around, challenging expectations of male roles. The killer's identity is unknown, representing gender equality. As a UK production, it represents the varied views of teenage males in Britain as the future despite being victims.
The great debaters and the pursuit of happyness
The two movies The Great Debaters and The Pursuit of Happyness are similar in several ways according to the document. Both movies tell true stories of their main characters overcoming adversity. Specifically, the characters are brave in facing challenges, experience bullying and oppression, and go from underdogs to successful through their storylines. While based on true stories, the movies take some fictional liberties to intensify the stories, such as changing the opponent in The Great Debaters debate. Overall, the document analyzes the similarities in character, experiences, plot, and fictional elements between the two movies.
Q2
The document discusses how the film opening represents various social groups through the characters of two protagonists. It was important to consider how characters' class, race, gender, age and sexuality could positively or negatively impact audiences. The film opening features a young Asian male foster son and a black female foster mother addicted to drugs. Both characters conform to negative stereotypes associated with their social groups to emphasize the dark storyline. While this achieved the intended tone, balancing with some positive representations of race could have been better. Overall the document examines how creative choices were made to represent different social groups through the characters in a way that moves the plot forward.
Media Evaluation Question 2
The document discusses how the media product represents various social groups through its characters. It includes 4 characters of different ethnicities with more females than males. It aims to appeal to a similar aged and ethnically diverse audience as the actors. Some stereotypes portrayed include teenagers rebelling through underage drinking. While most characters conform to stereotypes, one male portrays responsibility challenging age stereotypes. It aims to challenge gender stereotypes by having a female lead but still depicts women as vulnerable at times. The main character is mixed race, challenging expectations for the lead to be white. It potentially reinforces some stereotypes around mixed race people and location.

Question 2
Limbo, the main character played by Leslie who is of black ethnic origin, challenges stereotypes of black males portrayed in media. Rather than a disruptive criminal, Limbo is dressed in comfortable sleepwear and speaks intelligently to appear like a typical British teenager. The film also features Li, a Chinese character played by Kevin without a strong accent, working together peacefully with Limbo to show that people of different backgrounds can get along. Both characters break common stereotypes of their groups in order to represent them in a more positive light and appeal to a wider audience.
Evaluation
The document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups and who the target audience would be. It represents upper class drug lords negatively by showing them gambling drugs. It also represents young males negatively by showing the protagonist with a gun and killing someone. The target audience is identified as being ages 15-25, mostly male but also appealing to females. The target social classes are identified as E, D, C1, C2 and B. The psychographic groups most likely to be the audience are identified as "The Strugglers" and "The Mainstream" as they are more likely to engage in behaviors involving alcohol and drugs.
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.
Evaluation
The document summarizes how a student's media product uses conventions of the thriller genre in its opening sequence. It discusses three main conventions used: 1) use of weapons like guns to build suspense and tension, 2) a crime-based narrative similar to films like The Dark Knight, and 3) the protagonist fighting antagonists. It also represents its main character and the antagonists in stereotypical ways based on their clothing, and discusses how the media product portrays social groups like the working class and upper class involved in drug trafficking. Finally, it analyzes the intended target audience for the media product.
Evaluation question 3.
Through audience research, the filmmakers found their target audiences to be males for the violent scenes and females for the sci-fi and global themes. They decided to cast a male protagonist as heroic but also include strong female lead scientists. Based on feedback, they added more scenes of the protagonist and incorporated both violent and scientific aspects into the trailer to appeal to both target audiences.
Jack Rankin: Evaluation question 2
The document analyzes how different social groups are represented in a post-apocalyptic media product. It discusses the representation of gender as a vulnerable young male protagonist rather than the typical dominant hero. Age is also portrayed through a scared teenage character rather than a masculine adult. Lifestyle is shown as a regular middle class upbringing to make the situation relatable. The setting in Britain appeals to a local audience, using typical scenes and graffiti. Clothing depicts the gritty side of British culture through dark colors and durable military-style attire from 2015, implying they have lasted through hard times.
Film pitch
The film "The Search" follows four different people who receive a text with the location of a dropped package. Each person is of a different age and social class and must race to find the package first. The teaser trailer will show each character receiving the text and then cut between quick clips of each one running, jumping, and dodging obstacles in their search. It will build tension with high action music throughout. At the end, a hand will be shown on the package before the title card appears, leaving the recipient unknown. The film aims to be a fast-paced British independent action film targeting teenagers and action fans with influences from the film "4321" in its portrayal of multiple characters.

Mise en scene
This document discusses the mise en scene elements that will be used to define the creative vision and appeal to the target audience. It outlines several key locations that will be filmed at: a dark forest with a bench to convey isolation, a graveyard to represent loss and death, and a home designed to feel intimidating and uncomfortable to show the character's pain. Costumes will use specific colors - the main character in blue for sorrow and the artist in white for purity. Lighting will also be used metaphorically, with dull filters and low key lighting setting an overall tone that provides insight into the characters and how they view the world.

The album cover has a gritty, desaturated look with limited colors to give a serious tone. The main image is a sci-fi gun reflecting the rock genre. The band's name is printed in a minimalist, clean font. Details like fake scuffs and a neglected look portray the band as underdogs in the music world. The album and band have the same name, giving a confident air that the name is recognizable.

Individual pitch - Olivia
This document outlines a rough pitch idea for a music video for the song "Revenge" by XXXTentacion. The narrative music video will follow the relationship between two friends, one dealing with mental illness, and how the friend's death from their illness affects the other. Scenes will be filmed at the home of the character with mental illness to show their private struggle, and at school to depict happier times between the two friends. Clothing will be kept casual and dark to subtly signify the character's depression and mental health issues.
Jaymes - Pitch To Group
The video will tell the story of two childhood best friends who grew apart after college, with one friend spiraling downward and taking his own life, as reflected in the song lyrics "I've dug two graves for us". The proposed artwork for the single would be in a grayscale, vintage style to suit both the melancholy nature of the song and the artist's overall style, presented neatly with minimal text on the covers.
Jaymes - Ancillary Research
The document discusses the marketing campaigns for several music albums and tours:
- Ed Sheeran's album used orange and white tones on the album cover and posters to reference his ginger hair color as part of branding him as an artist.
- Sampha's album artwork and tour poster featured simple but bright designs with calm colors to represent his soulful music style.
- Drake's "Views" album cover showed him sitting on the CN Tower but the tour poster had no imagery, though both used consistent color schemes.
- Dave's black album cover and tour poster featured the same font and black/yellow color scheme to represent the serious nature of his songs and make text stand out.
Ancillary Research- Olivia
The document discusses the album artwork and branding conventions for several artists. It analyzes how Ed Sheeran, Hozier, McFly, and P!nk use color palettes, fonts, symbols and imagery in their album covers and posters to convey aspects of their artistic style and brand. Key details like Sheeran's orange hair color, Hozier's quirky font choice, McFly's simple black and white photo, and P!nk's bright colors and tattoos are examined in terms of how they relate to genre conventions and the artists' personas.
Ancillary Rough Draft- Olivia
The poster will promote an artist's new album using similar colors and style as the music video and album to make the work recognizable. It will include tour dates to promote the album and social media links to look realistic. A blurred photo of the anonymous artist will also appear to maintain the brand of being unknown to the audience.

Lyric Analysis
This document outlines a plan for a music video to accompany an album. It will tell a narrative story through cinematic shots that reflect the artist's experiences with depression and relationships. It analyzes each song and section, proposing visual elements and techniques to represent the lyrics and emotions conveyed. These include flashbacks, burning photographs, and fading to white at the end to symbolize a new beginning. The goal is to help listeners feel less alone and to numb their own depression through sharing the artist's pain.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Media A2 Evaluation Planning/Draft - Alfie
The document discusses the student's media product project, which included a music video as the main product and a digipak as the ancillary product. For the music video, the student researched conventions of rap and indie music video genres. The video uses a hybrid approach, incorporating conventions from both genres such as close-up camera shots and casual clothing. For the digipak, the student researched indie rock designs and took influence from Twenty One Pilots, using bold black, white, and gray colors and artwork to communicate the album's theme of mental health and depression. The student aims to create a consistent brand identity across products but worries the somber color scheme may not appeal to a wide audience.
Media evaluation - Tanya
The document discusses conventions in music videos and how the media production challenges some conventions while conforming to others. It aims to create a cohesive brand identity across the main video and ancillary materials like the album cover and poster. Audience feedback helped ensure the video appealed to the target demographic despite breaking some alternative genre conventions. Various technologies were used effectively at different stages of planning, production, and evaluation, with YouTube, editing software, and mobile devices proving particularly useful.
Ancillary task – Audience survey Blanc
This document summarizes the results of an audience survey conducted to help decide the final design elements for a digipak. The survey asked audience members whether they preferred a pink/white or black/grey color scheme, and they voted for the black/grey scheme. This color scheme was then used for the digipak design and poster. The survey also helped determine the album name, which was changed from "Blood on Me" to "The Explanation" based on audience feedback that the new name was bolder and better fit the targeted genre.

Question 2 - Fraser
- 1. FraserMcPherson Question 2 How does your media productrepresentparticular social groups? I believe that our film represents three social groups: whiteBritish, male and teenagers. We chosethese social groups for separatereasons, the white British becausea lot of action movies feature British people as the villains as people believe that it makes them sound smarter than the usualAmerican hero. We used a male character as we wanted to changethe belief that all men in movies are braveand courageous by making him run scared at the thought of a man coming to kill him. People would normally expect the male hero to find the assassin firstand kill him. We wanted to turn this around and make people think differently about our supposed main character. We also had the characters as teenagers as this is again against the normal conventions of an action movie. People would expect adults to be the leads in action movies as realistically teenagers wouldn’thave any training in fighting and warfareso why would they be the lead in a movie. I don’t believe that our film had any stereotypes in it. As I have said before I do believe that we changed the stereotypical view that all men are braveand courageous butthat is all we changed in my opinion. I don’tthink that we portrayed any particular socialgroups as negative or positive, just different fromwhat you would normally expect.
