The document analyzes how different social groups are represented in a media product. It discusses that the male and female protagonists are both portrayed quite negatively. The male character Rob is lazy and unemployed, living with his parents, while the female character Antoinette is spoiled and snobby, living in her own apartment bought by her parents. It also notes that the characters' class can be determined by the setting, props, and costumes, with Rob portrayed as working class and Antoinette as upper class.

stereotype.

3. Gender
I think that both the male and female protagonists
are represented quite negatively in our media
product. At the beginning the male character
Rob is too lazy to get out of bed and is
surrounded by dirty clothes and rubbish,
although the female character Antoinette is
very organised and punctual, we later find out
she is very judgemental and snobby which is
also very negative.

4. Class
You can tell what sort of class the characters are by
the setting, props and costume. During the
opening we can see that Rob is working class, his
bedroom is filled with junk and he doesn't seem
to care about the fact he is unemployed as he isn't
putting much thought into his interview.
Antoinette is stereotyped as upper class, we can
see this from the way she speaks and the clothes
she is wearing. Antoinette speaks with quite a
posh voice and is dressed quite smart, the way
you would expect someone to dress for a job
interview.
