Evaluation Question 2) How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?

In our thriller production the representation of gender was used by the male having more dominance than the female. Reasons for this are her being killed and the use of camera shots like high angles and low angles to show dominance and vulnerability.

The female is wearing something lightly femme fatalist and the male wearing a strong suit which also can show more dominance. The characters social class and groupings, I think comes from the modernization of the location in the kitchen scene and the characters costumes. I think they are towards the top of the middle class group.

We represented good and evil in our thriller by editing and also the use of camera angles and shots. The kitchen scene shows the male character when he grabs the knife to be very sly and deceiving by using darker and negative effects and low angled shots. The female character is shown by a higher angled shot as she is the victim in this scene and also the use of when the negative fade turns back to normal at the title screen.
