Board Meeting (9): Question two for Evaluation
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
- What are the social groups represented in terms of gender, age, class, race etc?
> male / female
> 16-17 year olds
> middle class
> white
> able bodied
> heterosexual
- Is gender represented in a stereotypical way?
> yes as it's the girl being followed by a man
> although it's the guy who's kidnaped not the girl
> however it's still a man who's attacking them which uses the dominance and aggressive stereotype of a man
- How does the link into the target audience?
> TA = 13 - 19 year olds, male and female
> shows a classic stereotype (girl being stalked) but also has enough divergence (boy being kidnapped) to be a subtle difference to usual thrillers
