The document discusses representations of social groups in the thriller genre. It notes that male characters are often portrayed as secretly hiding something sinister beneath normal appearances. Women are commonly represented as obstacles for men to overcome and are frequently killed off. The main character in the discussed thriller, Brad, has several mental disorders and represents how those with disabilities can also pose harm despite common assumptions. Brad's experiences of abuse and neglect as a child are said to have contributed to his emotionally detached and sometimes aggressive behavior.

![[object Object],In Target, I decided to represent the men as being secretive compared to the women characters. I made this decision because from the Thrillers that I have analysed, I noticed that the men were always hiding something from everyone else. For example, despite Detective Somerset being seen as a protagonist in Se7en, he hides the fact that he cares for people deep inside but acts as if he’s strong about being alone with no one to love.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Evaluation 2
The document discusses the representation of social groups in a thriller film. It summarizes that a male antagonist was chosen because they are more common in thrillers, and a teen was selected to portray the freedom and sociability of youth contrasted with anti-social behavior. Gender stereotypes are represented with the weak-minded male antagonist and female victims. These stereotypes link to the target audience by using easily identifiable factors, though they may not greatly impact viewing pleasure due to their commonness in films.
Evaluation question 2
The media product represents young female social groups as victims in horror films. It uses the common trope of the innocent young female victim, as seen in films like Scream, where the main character is a young girl murdered without reason. This stems from the misconception of females as weaker and fits audience expectations of the "damsel in distress" role. The killer is left mysterious, like in Saw and Halloween, shown only as an anonymous adult male portrayed as more menacing to viewers. While conforming to typical horror conventions, the creator feels the opening sequence crosses somewhat into thriller territory as well.
Evaluation question two
The document discusses the main character, Gary, featured in the opening sequence. Gary fits into the social group of a family man and father figure. He is portrayed as the dominant person in the nuclear family who works and provides for his wife and children. However, the character also has a dark and psychopathic side. While Gary follows some stereotypes as the male villain, he also subverts expectations by being a family man rather than a typical thriller villain. The representation of Gary as both good and bad challenges audience perceptions of characters and their Binary Opposites theory that people can only be understood as purely good or bad.
Target Audience and Research
The document discusses target audiences for thriller films. It notes that while thrillers typically attract male audiences, the goal is to appeal to both men and women. The intended audience is described as being in social classes C2-B, which are viewed as intellectual enough to understand thriller narratives and themes. Qualities important to include are a complex plot requiring thought, believable actors, mind games, violence, fear, and twists. First thriller films and shows mentioned by friends ranged from Inception to Shutter Island to Prison Break. An ideal younger audience member is described as liking thrillers, puzzles, and adrenaline seeking activities.

How does your media product represent particular social?
This document summarizes the representations of characters in a thriller film project. It describes the stalker character as similar to Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, in that he is a mentally ill male who targets women. The victim is a 16-year-old student living alone who is vulnerable due to her isolated environment and tight clothing, similar to Marion Crane in Psycho. These character representations follow common thriller tropes and stereotypes to appeal to the target youth audience.
Evaluation #1
This document discusses the genre conventions of psychological thrillers and how the media product challenges some of these conventions. Psychological thrillers typically feature an isolated and mentally damaged main character who is the killer. Other characters are initially strong but become weakened over the course of being targeted. However, the media product features a strong female lead seeking revenge through violence against male bullies who have damaged her physically, emotionally, and mentally through severe bullying. This challenges conventions by having a weak male victim and subverting typical gender roles and power dynamics. The media product also develops the genre by having a female serial killer as the main character, pushing for greater representation of strong female leads.

This document discusses the genres and conventions of psychological thriller media products and how the creator's media product relates to and challenges these forms. Psychological thrillers typically feature an isolated or mentally damaged main character who breaks down otherwise strong characters. The creator's product features a strong female lead seeking revenge through violence, challenging the norm of dominant male roles and victims being female. It develops the convention by having a female serial killer as the main character, pushing for greater representation of strong female leads in the genre.

The target audience for slasher horror films is typically young male teenagers between 16-18 years old who enjoy the gruesome depictions of violence. These films appeal to them because the portrayal of dominant male antagonists and vulnerable female victims aligns with societal expectations of masculinity. Watching slasher films without being frightened provides a sense of thrill and power over fear. As teenagers navigating exams and social pressures, they use these films as escapism from real-world challenges. This core audience is highly social and shares new horror content with friends via viral videos to generate hype around new slasher films.

Evaluation question 2 (2)
Our thriller features a female protagonist who plays the victim, fitting stereotypical roles that portray women as weak. The other character's gender is ambiguous to create mystery. The park setting was chosen for its familiarity and ability to appeal to wide audiences. Mental illness is portrayed in the villain similarly to other thrillers, to match audience expectations of the genre. The target audience includes teenagers, students, and those who enjoy thrillers.
Media theories
This document summarizes a class discussion about media theories. The class was assigned to analyze quotes about how media portrays aggression. Students shared their opinions on the quotes in small groups and with the full class. One quote focused on how society channels male aggression through media. Some students thought this excluded female aggression, while others discussed aggressive female characters. The discussion covered topics like the consequences of violence in media and whether it can encourage real violent behavior.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The document discusses how the media product represents various social groups through its characters. It portrays the female character Katie as initially confident but later vulnerable, challenging stereotypes. The young male character's youth makes him more sinister and untrustworthy. White teenage females are presented consistently with thriller conventions. Black males are usually shown as sinister villains. Women are typically victimized while males are more powerful and dominant. Camera angles, shots, and scenes are used to convey these representations of age, ethnicity, gender, and power dynamics between characters.
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.
How does your media product represent particular social group?
This document summarizes how the media product represents certain social groups. It discusses how the main characters are males, with females portrayed as weaker victims. It also discusses stereotypes, with the "perfect killer" portrayed as a huge, strong man lacking intelligence, and the scientist initially seeming good but revealed as the true villain, going against stereotypes of scientists and heroes/villains.
Evaluation q.2
This document summarizes how the media product represents certain social groups. It shows only one hidden character at first, then introduces others from different groups. The main characters are young males, with the villain being a huge strong man focused only on power and strength over intelligence, fitting a stereotype. Females are presented as more vulnerable targets to kill, going with social stereotypes. However, the scientist villain breaks stereotypes by using knowledge for evil ends instead of good, and is also revealed as the hero trying to stop his own creation, the killer.
Evaluation question 4
The target audience for the filmmaker's psychological thriller is teenagers aged 15-20. This age group enjoys the genre the most as it is too disturbing for younger viewers and elders often find it disgusting. Some parents also believe it could make their children violent or ruin their minds. A pie chart provides evidence that most of the target audience falls within the 15-20 age range, as teenagers would be drawn to the horror scenes, creepy atmosphere, masked villains, and possibly famous actors in the film. Many teenagers cited American Psycho as their favorite psychological thriller, which the filmmaker is using as a reference.
Q2 media question
The media product represents several social groups:
- The male character is depicted as typically aggressive and dominant in a thriller, while the female is passive with little dialogue, representing common thriller gender stereotypes. However, the ending suggests the girl may have been the villain, subverting expectations.
- Both characters are teenagers and portrayed as emotionally volatile and reckless, aligning with stereotypical media depictions of youth.
- Through the use of flashbacks around a violent event, the female character's experience could represent PTSD, accurately depicting a real-life symptom.
Question 2
The document summarizes how a media product represents particular social groups. Specifically, it represents teenagers as gang members through four main characters involved in gangs. This plays into the stereotype in media of teenagers being thugs who are always in trouble. The main character is portrayed as misunderstood and gets into trouble for this reason. Additionally, the main character is modeled after Jason Statham's character from The Mechanic as someone who is betrayed and seeks revenge against those who wronged him. He is dressed in typical gangster attire of a black hoodie and jeans. The character also lacks sympathy and immediately shoots another character during a confrontation, reinforcing stereotypes.

Target Audience Psychographic Profile-Liam
Matthew is a 17-year-old student who enjoys action TV shows and films in his spare time outside of school. He prefers genres like action and thrillers that have exciting plots and characters to discuss with friends. For thrillers to interest Matthew, they need to include action to drive the plot forward, though small, centralized violence is acceptable. He also prefers a male main character who leads an exciting, dangerous life that he aspires to, or a relatable younger character that he can project himself onto. Blending elements from different genres that Matthew enjoys, along with attention-grabbing openings, could catch and hold his interest in thrillers.
Media evaluation Social
The document summarizes a media project about a character named Brad who has delusional disorder and hallucinations. The creators aimed to portray how mental illness can affect someone who seems normal. They represented the male character as powerful and intelligent to create an "anti-hero" despite his illnesses. No women were directly portrayed but the planned female lead was to match the male lead. An actor was chosen who could best portray the character through his personality rather than his exact age. The film implies deaths through crossed-out pictures on a board but does not show any deaths directly.
Agile Brazil -Wbma 2014
The document summarizes a case study conducted on technical debt in a technology company with over 350 developers. The study analyzed 4 projects to understand how technical debt was considered, where it arose from, and its impacts over time. Key findings were that technical debt was known but not formally considered in project management. Strategic decisions commonly introduced technical debt, resulting in code rewrites, team divisions to maintain old systems, and customer dissatisfaction. The study validated the importance of managing technical debt and communication between technical and business teams to consider it during decision making. Threats to validity included relying only on interviews and lacking detailed cost impact calculations.

The main characters, a married couple named Jack and Lilly, conform to stereotypical gender roles - Jack is portrayed as dominant and secretive, hiding his real job as a hitman, while Lilly is innocent and naive, unaware of her husband's double life. These decisions were meant to give the audience what they wanted based on surveys. The thriller also suggests that older people are more likely victims, and that the villain will be a younger man portrayed in a dangerous light.

Question 2 media evaluation
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in the film. Teenagers are shown as the main victims, presented as ordinary but mysterious to add intrigue. The disabled killer is initially portrayed violently but hints are given of his gentler side and mental illness to encourage understanding over harsh judgment. Males are typically strong villains, but the killer uses stealth over strength, and his disability and lack of dialogue make his motives less clear-cut. The goal is to subvert stereotypes through more complex and humanized portrayals.
Actors
The document discusses casting choices for two roles in a film opening sequence. Bradley Smith is chosen to play the antagonist Lloyd, a 17-year-old psychopathic murderer, because he fits the role well and understands what the writer wants to achieve. Graham Teasdale is chosen to play the doctor because his older appearance and beard suggest intelligence and wisdom fitting for a doctor, though his role is overshadowed by the antagonist. The doctor ensures Lloyd takes his medication and cares for his patient, but doubts Lloyd's humanity, allowing Lloyd to take advantage.
How does your media product represent particular social groups
This document summarizes how a film represents different social groups through its characters. The film includes characters ranging from 10 to 45 years old to show how events impact people of various ages, unlike most slasher films that only affect young adults. Both the murderer and victims are intentionally presented with little backstory. The murderer, a mentally unstable young adult, kills both children and elders without remorse. Teenagers are shown partying recklessly before being killed, representing dubious aspects of youth culture. Parents are also killed to show that people of any age can be victims of violence. The inclusion of characters of various ages and backgrounds aims to provide a realistic perspective on massacres.

- Common locations include haunted houses, cabins, and woods. The Killer wears a mask and uses weapons to dominate victims. A group of friends is formed that gets killed one by one.

Social Groups
- 1. How does prepresent paticular social groups? Naomi Angel
- 3. The women are represented seen as them being obstacles for the men to get over. ‘Target’ demonstrates this by our male character Brad, is dating the only female featured, Rachel. She ends up forcing Brad to chose between the love or money after confronting her true self, which results in her being shot. This also means that the women in Target are represented as the ones who are being treated badly because of them being immoral characters. Most Thrillers show the same representation because the majority of victims that are women in Thrillers are normally killed off and the audience know that the antagonists, despite what sex they are, most of the time get what they deserved.
- 4. With the costume being all in black, it was important to have someone who was tall and broad built as on camera, he would look hard-looking. But whist inside, his appearance must show that he is a normal guy and other people would not noticed that he could potentially be an assassinator. I made decisions on who would be right to star in my Thriller by thinking of who would be able to follow directions well whilst on set and be able to pull off the sort of characteristics an assassinator would use; like the smug look they usually have when they’ve completed a mission. The actor also had to be fit enough when it came to being able to run far distances a few times because of having to re-take shots.
