2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Here's a short clip of us discussing the social groups represented in our opening sequence.
Just a couple of points that we left out:
Older, female characters tend to play a more supportive role amongst a film e.g.: The mother or the teacher. It's quite rare to come across a film where a female character of this age is the protagonist. Women of this age are also seen as mentally stable and their purpose is to look after others that may not be in the best place. This can link back to the point that we made in our target audience video about maternal instinct. Overall, it is very rare to portray a woman of this age as unstable, which is why it was a niche social group.
Also... We made a large mistake as instead of saying that we discover throughout the film Ed Norton's character had schizophrenia, we said insomnia stupidly, oopsy!
