The document discusses how a media product represents various social groups through its themes of class, gender, and setting. It shows these themes through two main characters that differ in social class. Class is depicted through costume, makeup, setting, and character traits. Gender is mainly shown through the two female main characters and their male and female coaches. The setting also varies for the characters, showing two different classes within the city. A survey was conducted and provided feedback on the film from different age groups, hobbies, and genders to understand various social perspectives.

1. How does your media product represent
particular social groups?

2. Overall aims
 A lot of the social groups we aimed where to do with our specific audience
we believe would watch our film. Our aim was to get across these three
themes to our audience, class, gender and setting. We showed all three
themes through two characters and both characters are linked to the
themes throughout the film.

3. Class theme
 Class- social class is a key theme in our film as it shows what the characters are like. The point of using
class in our film is so that we can get the message that everyone has the chance. To show class we use
costume, make up, setting and characteristics. f you compare the two characters used in our film, it will
show the different class within our film. In our film we use a split screen to show the difference of class.
The difference of shots we used here to show the class. The clean shot it is to show a higher class but
the slightly fuzzy shot shows the lower class.

4. Gender theme
 Gender- gender in the film is a key theme as the only man shown in the opening is the coach
and our film is mainly biased around girls because of our influence fast girls and the fact that
we felt a new girl dominated sports film should be realised.
 Gender is mainly shown through the two main characters and the female and male coach. We
chose a male coach instead of a female to show what some people may think of society today.
Our male coach is supposed to be shown as the “better coach” and this is only highlighted
thorough the body language of either coach. Comparing both of them too each other shows
the difference in backgrounds which was our morale message. But for a lower class coach we
chose a lady too be the less fortunate actors coach, as we thought we needed to present
feminism more efficiently throughout the film.

5. Setting Theme
 Setting- the setting we used for our film was varied due to the characters differences. The whole
film is set in the city, this is just to show how there are two different classes within the city.
 Renae’s setting- Renae is biased with being withinthe posh and more expensive part of the city
where she can afford the best coaches and best facilities. This is shown through the comparison of
back to back footage of the two opposite girls. For example, Sophie was mainly based within
 Sophie’s setting- Sophie is in the slightly rougher part of the city where she trains outside. Her
part of the city is a lot darker and colder.
 As the film continues the storyline will become clearer as it will show the family life a lot more and
the difference between the girls.

6. Survey
 We carried out a survey that was aimed mainly towards our target audience, however it was
available to a range of different audiences, and we managed to receive a range of results that
helped us get an idea of what different social groups feel about the film.
