The document discusses the representation of age, gender, ethnicity, and race in a media production. It notes that the intended audience is 15-24 year olds and that the main actor is 16 but plays an older character with a young family. It establishes stereotypes around age by showing a young child alone in a bath. Regarding gender, it supports stereotypes of male power and strength over females through camera angles and a mother turning to alcohol. The characters are described as white British to fit with stereotypes in horror films.

2. Our media production represents
the following:
 Age
 Gender
 Ethnicity
 Race
 Religion

3. Age
 The age of people who would view our film
opening would be aged 15-24 year olds.
 Our actor is 16, however the character we believe is
quite a bit older as we establish in our shots that he
has a young family. (wife & a young daughter.)
 Our production challenges the stereotype that
young children shouldn’t do certain things alone
such as taking baths, however in our opening hope
is seen in a bath that’s running with the door
locked.

4. Gender
 Our production supports the stereotype that the
male figure is higher and has power over the
female and are emotionally stronger, because of
the high and low angle shots and the fact that the
mum turns to alcohol
 It also confirms the stereotype that women stay at
home, cook and look after the children whilst the
men go out to work.

5. Ethnicity
 Our characters are white British, as people from
different ethnicities such as a black or an Asian family
aren’t normally seen in horror films.
