Q2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Q2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Representation means how things are portrayed by a certain group or thing. Our media film opening had a mixture of different representations, but we also contradicted some as well. For example we wen along with the stereotype that girls are generally the victims in films, but this was easily challenged when I got killed. Also in thriller films the antagonist is generally a males, we did go along with this in our thriller film, because Troian played the antagonist who is male.
Probably the most negative stereotype we have in our thriller opening is that the victims tend to be female, but because we also kill males during the opening it gets cancelled out.
