2.) How does your media product represent particular social groups ?


Our thriller portrays gender, threw the use of the two characters (the man and woman). 

The male character is highlighted more in the film. He is portrayed in a more negative manor than the woman character, as he is being possessed. This could be deemed as sexist stereotyping as the male is being portrayed as a less stable individual than the woman. A popular thriller where this stereotype is used is in 'The Shining' were the character played by Jack Nicholson named 'Jack Torrence'  becomes influenced by the supernatural presence in the haunted hotel; he descends into madness and attempts to kill his wife and son. Similarly in our thriller it is the male lead who becomes possessed. The age of the characters are 16 year olds and they are both ethnically 'White British'. Sid, does the scene in an isolated and deserted room. he is also wearing normal clothes, but we use props to show his character in a different light. The ethnicity of the characters do not really play a part in the reasoning for the actions taken in the film. The sexuality of the Man and woman played in the Thriller are a straight couple, which leads to the reasoning behind the man being possessed (he is possessed threw jealousy of another man, because of his relationship with the woman)
Class doesn't particularly play a factor in our thriller.
