Our media product portrays a young couple in their early 20s who own a house, suggesting they have stable jobs. It represents young people in relationships as eager to take on responsibilities like homeownership. The male lead, Hugo, is shown as protective of his girlfriend Mia but also secretive, as he panics and tells her to pack without explanation. This portrays young men as troubled and restrained regarding their own issues. Mia seems unaware of whatever problem Hugo is facing. Through shots from over Hugo's shoulder that make Mia appear physically smaller and weaker, the film suggests male domination and female inferiority in the relationship.

1. HOW DOES YOU MEDIA
PRODUCT REPRESENT
PARTICULAR SOCIAL
GROUPS?

2. Our media film presents a young couple in the
young 20's who seem to own a average sized
house suggesting that they both have good jobs
otherwise they wouldn't be able to afford it. It
represents people in their 20's as responsible and
able to maintain a secure job. It further represents
people who are in a relationship at a young age
to be quite eager and rushed in what they do in
their lives, especially from the fact that our couple
from our thriller are living in a house already at
this young age.

3. • Our thriller represents males and the dominant ones of the
household shown to be very protective over his girlfriend.
However he also has a secretive side to his personality as in
our opening something is clearly wrong because he is
panicked and telling the female lead to pack her bags. In
response to this his girlfriend (Mia) is confused and doesn't
know what’s happening because 'Hugo' will not tell her. This
portrays young males as troublesome and restrained over
their own issues. Similarly to the film ‘The departed’ this
relationship have their secrets
specifically in the males part, due to the
fact that he is working undercover in the
police force . In our thriller the male lead
Hugo is hiding something from Mia as
she doesn’t know why she has to pack
her bags. When Hugo tell Mia to ‘trust
her’ this instantly makes the audience
question whether he is trustworthy or
not.

4. • The girl is appeared to be outside of this
problem that the character 'Hugo' has just
come running into the house with. It
suggests that their is distance in the
relationship in terms of what they know
about each other.
The male domination and female
inferiority is shown through this
over the shoulder shot. You can
see physically by the height and
the use of the high angles that the
female lead in portrayed as weak.

5. • Hugo is wearing a casual tracksuit whilst the
female lead Mia is again wearing jeans, a plain
top and scarf. This scruffy and casual look is
generic for the age group of teenagers/young
adult, as it is known that some do not take care in
their appearance.
