How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our project mainly represents individuals in their late teens. The subject of the opening scene is about a teenager being attacked, if a teenager was watching the clip they may be able to relate to it as it may have happened to them or someone they know. Our project is also represents teenage females as they are the main theme of the film, the females are the ones being attacked in the scenes. We've made the project so that it represents teenagers as we find that it puts us at an advantage as e are teenagers ourselves and therefore know how the teenage mind works and what goes on in a teenagers lives. Our project represents teenagers between the ages of 16-18. It could be said that our project represents teenage males as aggressive and violent as the male involved has all these traits.The attacker in the film is a black male which could also be seen as representing the stereotypical view of how black males are portrayed in this day and age. He is dressed in all dark clothes which a lot of boys nowadays wear, which could show he’s trying to hide his identity. It also represents boys as being violent; it shows them in a bad light. Also it represents males as being dominant over females, because the bay in the film only has to shout at the girl for her to be scared and nervous around him and want to get away as quick as possible.Our project represents females as very emotional characters. The female in our project goes through a number of emotions such as nervous, scared and guilt. It also represents females as being inferior to males because when she is faced with the male it is almost like she wants to curl up into a ball and disappear instead of confronting the situation of the male shouting at her, this is why most females are scared of males but the female who got attacked shows that she wasn’t scared of males which was why she was fighting back and ended up with her getting brutally attacked, and this is what most females are scared of. But although one of the females in the clip is very scared and emotional there is also the psychiatrist who is female. Although we don’t find much about her she represents females as being successful, strong women who can get far in life.Our project also represents groups such as mentally ill people, because our main female character becomes mentally unstable because of the things she has experienced. It represents mentally ill people as being extremely vulnerable. It also shows how mentally ill people are able to talk about their feelings when they are with a psychiatrist. In this talk, she shows what happened, made her become mentally ill, her worst night mare. Just like anyone else, she blames herself for not helping the girl that got beaten up even though if she stepped in, she would almost certainly have ended up like the girl or maybe even worse, she might have been killed.
