The document discusses representation theory and how the media represents various social groups and identities. It provides examples of how masculinity, femininity, social class, sexuality, race, ethnicity, national identity, and age are often represented in exaggerated or stereotypical ways. For instance, the trailer for the film "Smiley" represents the female protagonist as needing help from male characters, perpetuating the common media portrayal of women always requiring male assistance. The trailer also represents teenagers in both common stereotypical scenarios like being in trouble with the police, but also subverts expectations by showing the female teen seeking help from the police.

The document discusses how media continues to negatively portray women through harmful stereotypes. It provides examples from films like Oz The Great and Powerful that depict women as subordinate to men and focus on their appearance over substance. The media exploits women's insecurities to sell products by promoting an unrealistic ideal of beauty. This instills fears and judges women based on their looks. Women are also often sexualized in restrictive ways through double standards where they are labeled as sluts or prudes with no middle ground. However, the document suggests that women can use social media as a tool for positive change by pointing out media's influence and supporting each other's self-worth beyond physical appearance.
Media task 2
The document discusses the representation of social groups in the film's opening scene. It introduces two main characters - Molly, a middle-class teenage girl, and Victoria, a bruised girl dressed in black who bullied Molly before her death. Cinematography and lighting are used to portray Victoria as mysterious and having a negative presence. While the characters typically found in horror films are male and female, this film challenges conventions by having both main characters as female. It also sends a message about the consequences of bullying by showing Victoria haunting those who bullied her.

The film features a strong female main character who is the boss of a large company, challenging stereotypes of men dominating over women in thrillers. She is posh and upper class, while other characters are average working class. Social class and status are important themes, as conflicts arise between rich and working class people. The main character uses her femininity in a powerful way, though age, ethnicity, and disabilities are not focused on. Regional identity is also not emphasized.
Media
The document discusses the representation of social groups in the author's short film "Traumatised". It follows the codes of the social realism genre in depicting the stereotypes of domestic violence, using quick flashbacks to show violence occurring when others are not around. It also discusses the social realism films "Kidulthood" and "Adulthood", which depict the lives of troubled teens. The author's film aims to base its introduction on these works by linking it to the stereotypes of social realism, showing the male lead as the violent person and the female lead as innocent and not knowing right from wrong.
Social realism
Social realism focuses on everyday problems like drugs, poverty, and crime in modern cities. It typically features unknown actors portraying characters set in familiar urban locations. Social realism films realistically depict controversial issues that most people can relate to, such as drugs, alcohol, sex, and crime, as well as political and religious views of the time period portrayed.
Gender representation
The document discusses gender representation in horror films compared to other media. It notes that in most media, women are often portrayed as sexual objects or in emotionally-oriented, passive roles while men are typically heroes portrayed in active roles. However, in horror films, women can take on more active roles as protagonists, sometimes even as the "final girl" who survives until the end or defeats the monster. While horror films still show lower visibility of women overall, they present a more respected portrayal of women than other media, with females sometimes portrayed as the true heroes.
Evaluation activity, q2
The document compares one of the characters in the student's media product to the character of Samara from the film "The Ring". Both characters are young females with dark hair who play important starring roles. Their costumes and appearances are plain and ordinary to not distract from the plot. However, one key difference is the length of their hair, with Samara's being much longer to appear more mysterious. While their looks and traits are similar, their storylines are completely different. Both films subvert stereotypes by portraying young girls in sinister roles rather than the stereotypical innocent depictions.
Audiences
The primary audience for the film is independent women aged 15-25 who are influential and dislike stereotypes. The secondary audience is goths and horror movie enthusiasts who enjoy graphic violence. The additional audience is thrill-seekers who will watch for the scare but may be disappointed by the end. The primary audience has a social grade of E or D with basic jobs, while the additional audience would be classes D through C since extreme sports require income.

Media Film Analyis
1) The documentary film represents young people living on the streets in Bangladesh who have become addicted to drugs, often due to difficult family circumstances like being thrown out or parents passing away.
2) It interviews these youths as well as Brother Ronald Drahozal, a member of the church who has set up a program to help these troubled youth.
3) The film uses the letters written by the youths, slow sad music, and natural lighting to portray the harsh realities of their lives and encourage viewers to sympathize with their struggles.
Character representation
The document discusses character representation in a film about teenagers. It describes several characters - a thuggish teenager who smokes drugs and bullies others, representing a stereotypical view of teenagers; and a bullied ginger teenager who is depicted as less popular with few friends. The characters wear clothing like hoodies and chinos to appear as youths. Their behavior, like doing drugs and bullying for fun, portrays teenagers as irresponsible and criminal.

The film aims to appeal to those of a similar socioeconomic status through its portrayal of normality within a working class society.
Question 1: How do your products represent social groups or issues?
Representation in media portrays different groups through characters' behaviors and interactions. This representation may follow conventions and stereotypes used in previous works or offer a new perspective.
The protagonist in Behind Closed Doors, Adhitya, is a mentally unstable boy, which is a rare portrayal as such characters are typically villains. Though his actions are unlawful, he feels guilt, killing the first person for a trivial reason and the second out of necessity, not bloodthirst.
The film features only teenage boys as the cast. One boy, Yeshwanth, follows some stereotypes as an everyday, airheaded teen who doesn't listen to warnings, though he has a good heart. Adhitya

The film will explore Natalie's depression and mental illness through her experiences over one day.
Evaluation – question 2
This document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups through the main character. The character, named Ephesian, is dressed in a stereotypical assassin's outfit of a black suit and white shirt to portray an assassin. Additionally, the character is portrayed by the author's 18-year old brother, making him younger than most assassin characters and allowing for more storyline complexity. The target audience is identified as males aged 13 to 30, with those closer to the brother's age of 18 able to most directly relate to the young assassin character.
Representation
The document discusses representation in media and provides context for the short film being created. It analyzes how characters are portrayed and categorized as stereotypes or counterstereotypes. Representation can be broken down by attributes like age, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality. Theorist Stuart Hall believes that media representation shapes collective perceptions through symbolic power. The genre is a drama that will portray the character Natalie, a 17-year-old girl, and her struggles with depression through realistic conflicts and climaxes. Natalie's self-harm may divide audiences in their reactions but is included to give empathy for her brokenness.
Other themes in City of God
The document discusses themes in the film City of God, including poverty, wealth, gangs, conflict, hope, hopelessness, loyalty, and family/friendship. It asks how the director communicates ideological messages about these themes through narrative events and film techniques. An example is given about how hopelessness is portrayed through the lack of structure and role models in the lives of the young characters, trapping them in a cycle of violence with no hope of escape. Theme statements from the board are also presented without choosing any specifically.
Films analysis
The document discusses how youth are often negatively portrayed in films such as Rebel Without a Cause, Fish Tank, Bullet Boy, and Kidulthood. In these films, youth are mostly shown as disrespectful to elders and society, and acting out rebelliously without concern for consequences. However, these representations are sometimes exaggerated and do not reflect all youth. While some aspects may be accurate, the films fail to show that not all teenagers engage in violence, drugs, and criminal behavior. Overall, the media tends to construct negative stereotypes of youth rather than portraying the diversity of teenage experiences.
Evalutaion who would be the audience for your film
The main audience for the media product would be males and females aged 20-40. Females generally prefer crime thrillers with interesting narratives, while males prefer action films. The film features a young female local detective investigating murders in a northern town where the sun doesn't set. Both genders may be attracted to the independent female protagonist and her career. The film could appeal to audiences who watch shows like Sherlock and Luther featuring detectives solving crimes.
City of God General Points on Themes
City of God (2002) depicts the urban poverty, violence, and social issues within the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil between 1960-1980. The film shows how poverty and lack of opportunities lead some characters to turn to crime and join violent drug gangs that battle each other for power and control over the favelas. Conflict is ever-present as gang wars and random violence erupt throughout the community.
Evaluation 2
The document discusses how the media product represents various social groups through its characters and storylines. It focuses on gender and age representation. For gender, it notes that all four characters are male, and camera shots are focused on men, potentially supporting stereotypes of men being more dominant. For age, it suggests the main character represents young people as less caring than older people through his actions. Economic class is represented through the homeless character wearing plain clothes and being avoided by the camera's focus on the main character.
Social realism genre research
Social realism films focus on realistic portrayals of everyday life and struggles faced by working class people. They typically depict issues like poverty, drugs, crime, and class struggles. The narratives are set in gritty urban areas and feature unknown or young actors portraying characters from poor backgrounds who often turn to illegal or risky behavior out of necessity. The genre aims to realistically portray societal issues and hardship rather than happiness.
Unit 1 moodbaord
Females aged 15-25 in social group E will be the primary target audience for this film, as they enjoy being scared with friends and have the income to see it. The film features blood and gore that this group generally likes, as well as an empowered all-female cast. Males aged 15-25 who are unemployed or casual laborers make up the secondary target, as the all-female cast provides sex appeal and monsters attract the general male viewership. Fans aged 35-45 of the film's director Neil Marshall, who likely have education in social economic class D/C, are also a target as they enjoy his previous work.
Lesson 5 - Representation of Age
The document discusses age stereotypes in media representations of youths and old people. It finds that:
- Youths are often negatively portrayed as criminals, drug abusers, lazy, and reckless in the media. This can lead to moral panics around youth behavior.
- Old people are commonly stereotyped as frail, lonely, childlike, unproductive burdens on their families. They are seen as grumpy, fussy, and engaging in stereotypical pastimes.
- Both youth and old age stereotypes are overly broad generalizations that do not reflect the diversity of these groups. The frequent portrayal of stereotypes in media can influence public perceptions and government policies around age.
Film poster
The film poster summarizes key information about an upcoming movie in 3 sentences or less. It should include the date of release, production companies, main actors, and provide a visual summary of the storyline. Effective horror movie posters depict isolated settings like woods at dusk, masked killers to build intrigue, and use of bold text and blood splatter to convey the genre of bloodshed and horror.
Evaluation Question
The student effectively combined their trailer, film poster, and magazine cover to promote their film. The trailer targeted 16-25 year olds and used professional editing techniques. The dark-colored poster established the horror genre and included the title and rating. The magazine similarly targeted males with primary colors, included related films, and featured the masked figure and film title to draw attention. Overall, the promotional materials worked cohesively to generate interest in the film across different platforms.

This document discusses media representations of youth culture and how the film project represents social groups. It notes that media often use stereotypes to portray youth as unruly or focused on partying, sex, and fashion. The film project aims to represent youth in a more restrained way and focus on underlying issues like friendship and love/lesbianism. It portrays the characters as everyday teenagers rather than exaggerated stereotypes, showing a natural relationship between girls of different ethnicities and sizes. This challenges common media portrayals of women as sexual objects or mean characters obsessed with status and beauty.
Question 2
The document discusses the representation of social groups in media. It addresses 7 areas of representation including age, gender, ethnicity, and discusses how stereotypes are often used in media to communicate meanings. While stereotypes can be portrayed positively or negatively, they usually reflect power imbalances in society. The document then provides examples from a thriller film of how it represented the social group of class and status through the main character, a detective, but that some viewers were confused about her profession. It also lists some common stereotypes commonly portrayed as normal in society. Finally, it discusses both the positive aspect of the main character being a female detective as well as a negative aspect where the character has a split personality and is also the murderer.
Evaluation Question 2
Our media product represents young adults and teenagers by featuring a teenage detective as the lead character to appeal to that age group. Typically, teenage characters are portrayed as unintelligent or involved in the crime, but our character subverts this by being an intelligent character able to help solve the crime. The gender representations conform to genre conventions, with the male character portrayed as intelligent and unemotional, and the female character as the victim, aligning with theories that promote subordinate social roles for women.
Question 2
The media product represents teenage girls ages 13-19. It portrays common issues this social group faces such as cyber bullying and eating disorders. The characters are depicted as typical teenage girls to help the target audience relate to them. The film aims to realistically portray the struggles girls face, such as loneliness and depression, in a social realism genre.
Question 2 media
The document discusses how a media product represents different social groups. It represents gender through portraying the main character as a young female going for a run alone in the forest, which both challenges stereotypes of females always being with friends and follows the stereotype of wearing makeup.

The male detective represents gender through being a stereotypical male detective role, and also represents social class through his smart suit and higher income, as well as race through being Asian. Overall, the media product represents the social groups of age and gender the most through its main characters.
