evaluation part 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

in our film (the first two minutes) we represent the gender of female to be negative and stereotypical. We do this at first by representing females as weak and vulnerable. At the start of our film we use an establishing shot to show that she is alone in a wide open space and a potential target which soon becomes apparent she is the target. The camera angles also represent the vulnerability of her as they are always low angle particularly in the second part of our film. When we are representing the female gender when it comes to costume in our film it is not stereotypical for a seventeen year old girl to be wearing sporty clothes. We decided to use this costume because if were to continue to make the full film it would be clear that Robyn would not be stereotypical and that she would be powerful. In our first two minutes the editing pace is fairly slow when the camera is focusing on Robyn or when she’s the only one in shot to show that she is weaker compared to the male. The lighting throughout the first two minutes is dark but throughout we try to put as much light as possible on Jenna (Robyn) to try and represent her as the good one and somebody who is vulnerable we did this by using a torch for extra lighting which was needed.
