2. How does your media represent particular social groups
Our media(our opening of our movie) represents many social groups in particular ways. When devising the media we aimed to be able to question the representations of these social groups. In most movies we noticed that assassins/ killers and generally the ‘bad guys’ then to be men. We decided we would questions this representation by having the assassin and the main ‘bad guy’ or villain as a woman. This represented women as evil and vengeful as that is the reason behind the women’s evil acts. We also represented the constantly questioned issues of what sex is stronger (which the men are usually) by having the women kill off men who due to stereotypes etc are supposed to be seen as stronger. This in turn questions those stereotypes as to whether the men really are the stronger sex.
