![[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)

Social Groups
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 due to past experiences of neglect or abuse.
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.

- White race through the protagonist, challenging the convention that black people are stronger by showing him as the last survivor.
- Ages 18-28 through targeting that demographic. The protagonist is also young but establishes a family, challenging the stereotype that older people are smarter.

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 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.

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.
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 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.

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.

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.
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.
FHM Rape Culture Communication Strategy - Proactive
This week two FHM writers in South Africa upset most of Twitter with tasteless jokes about rape.

Maybe something like this could achieve positive social change. These are some very broad ideas about how I think they could do it.

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.
Evaluation question two
The document discusses the representation of characters in a film opening. The main protagonist is portrayed as highly skilled in combat and determined in hunting down an important target. The only other character, the villain, is intimidating due to wearing a mask and size, leaving their identity and motives a mystery. While the protagonist's motives are unclear, the villain is negatively represented through stereotypical traits of being scary and likely to commit immoral acts. The document argues that only the villain has been stereotyped so far, as not enough is known about the protagonist, and stereotyping can oversimplify villains who may be characterized by intellect rather than physical traits.

É sugerido reduzir esses fatores para envolver mais a comunidade educativa.

Effect of chilling stress on genomics of plants
This document discusses the effect of chilling stress on the genomics of plants. It notes that chilling stress can affect plant growth at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels by degrading DNA and RNA. Low temperatures can also lead to low oxygen levels, affecting plant metabolism and crop yields. Certain plants that grow in cooler regions have adaptations that allow them to survive temperatures below freezing. Chilling sensitivity is also related to the breakdown of membrane lipids. The document also discusses effects on rice, bacterial roles in plant life, and future prospects if plants are given proper temperature conditions.

Overall, the experience highlighted challenges of group work but also strengths like resourceful lighting and an enthusiastic actor.
Evaluation
The document discusses how the author's thriller represents certain social groups through its characters and plot. 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.

Treatment sheet
The document provides details on the concept, narrative, costuming, and filming plan for a music video analyzing the Twenty One Pilots song "A Car, A Torch, A Death". The concept involves portraying multiple personality disorder through a character who has three personalities based on different Twenty One Pilots albums. Costuming will distinguish the personalities and reference album aesthetics.

The doctor ensures Lloyd takes his medication and cares for his patient, but doubts Lloyd's humanity, allowing Lloyd to take advantage.

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.

Messages and values in fight club
This document discusses themes and messages in the film Fight Club, specifically around masculinity. It analyzes how contemporary society presents conflicting views of masculinity through the media. Men face a crisis in identity and turn to extremes like fight clubs to reclaim masculinity. The film uses characters like Brad Pitt's Tyler Durden and Meatloaf's Bob to represent different responses to this crisis. Tyler helps the Narrator embrace a traditional masculine identity through violence, while Bob finds acceptance in Project Mayhem after losing aspects of his masculinity. The film explores the masculinity crisis without offering a single answer, reflecting the uncertainty men face in defining themselves.

The movie shows the male antagonist murdering his wife for disobeying him, fulfilling the stereotype of aggressive masculinity. It also explores the portrayal of different age groups, showing an innocent child unaware of danger and a troubled teenager unable to understand the source of her distressing memories.

Social Groups
- 1. How does represent particular 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.
