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

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

Representation:

A representation is a constructed media text. Representations can take many forms, including: radio segments, newspaper articles, photographs, films, television programs, television news segments.
There are 7 key areas of representation that are mainly used in the industry:
  • Gender
  • Age
  • Sexuality
  • Reginonal Identity
  • Ability/Disability
  • Class and status
  • Ethnicity
In all, I believe that our final product used age as a main factor. We presented teenagers as helpless. This is shown by the mise en scene. We see that all the victims are teenagers. Furthermore, our product challenges the general stereotype of women always being the victim because we also have males who are being murdered.
