The film includes a female character representing a middle-class English teenage girl studying in college, shown to be innocent and on her phone frequently like most teenage girls. It also includes a male stalker character dressed in all black to appear evil and scary without being too obvious initially to build suspense. Camerawork, lighting, editing and sound were used to manipulate audience perception of the characters, with dark lighting for the male and bright lighting for the female. While diverging somewhat from genre conventions by not using props for the male, the representations generally reinforce social stereotypes with the upbeat female and negatively portrayed stalker male.Audience Research Gender And Disney/Action

Miley Cyrus defended the concept of her "Wrecking Ball" music video, stating that while she appears naked, she aims to portray a vulnerable and broken emotional state that is deeper than just the lyrics of the song suggest. The video was a more emotional experience to film than recording the song. The video received criticism for objectifying Cyrus and catering to the male gaze through sexualizing her and focusing heavily on her body rather than her emotional expression or talent.

The main character's costume, a brightly colored cookie monster onesie, signals the comedic genre and shows his immature personality to further resonate with the target audience. Choosing a male lead adheres to the common view of male teens and young adults being immature and troublesome. The filmmaker expects the film to most appeal to lower and middle class audiences who can relate to the unemployed or low-paying job status of the main character.Evaluation question 5

The document discusses how the filmmaker addressed their target audience of older teenage males and young men. They used a young adult male actor as the sole character in the beginning to allow the audience to easily connect and relate to him. The costume worn by the main character, Jack, signals his immature personality and the comedy genre of the film. Choosing a male lead adheres to the common view of male teens/young adults being immature and troublesome. The target audience also includes those from the lower/middle class who can relate to the main character's employment and financial situation.Question 2
Question 2demi hollingworth

The document discusses how the writer represents various social groups in the opening scene of their thriller film. For the female role, the character is portrayed as a stereotypical victim - a young, blonde woman meant to elicit an instant reaction from the audience. For the male role, the antagonist stalks a young girl and is intentionally portrayed as dangerous through his dark clothing and large physique. Both main characters are white to play on stereotypes. The target age range is teenagers to increase relatability, with the female protagonist at 17 and male villain older to fit common thriller tropes.Task 4 (1)

The document discusses representations of social groups in a student film. It summarizes that:
- The main character is a troubled male teenager portrayed as a criminal and suspected murderer between 18-20 years old, from a middle to lower class background based on his tracksuit clothing.
- Mise en scene like the character's black tracksuit and face mask suggest he is a criminal trying to hide his identity. Camera work like a close-up of his face looking around illustrates he is looking to escape police as a criminal.
- Editing shows the character alone in the dark for a long time, suggesting he is secretive about himself which relates to criminal activity and hiding his identity.Evaluation 2

This document discusses representing 16-25 year olds in a thriller film. It notes that this age group likes popular films and wants actors they can relate to. The main character, Mandy, is a working class teenager in London intended to represent most viewers. Unlike other thrillers, the film aims to show how teenagers can handle serious situations with strength and knowledge rather than being portrayed as weak. Establishing shots of a school and bus stop emphasize the character's ordinary lifestyle to make the film feel realistic for the target audience.Task 2
Task 2mbence926
Ìý
The document discusses the representation of characters in a film product. The female characters represent young, lower-middle class British teenage girls who socialize together. The male character is meant to be disliked as the antagonist and his face is hidden to add mystery. Close-ups were used with the female characters to engage the audience but the male character's face was hidden. Props like drinks and cigarettes help convey the idea of the teenagers being naughty. The characters generally reinforce social stereotypes but some changes were made to suit the target age group.Question 2 evaluation

The document discusses how stereotypes are commonly used in media to present easily recognizable characters but often present one-sided negative portrayals of social groups. It then discusses how the filmmaker's trailer uses stereotypes of mental illness by exaggerating symptoms of schizophrenia. It also includes stereotypical portrayals of the main character as young, naive, and without parental support. The filmmaker acknowledges using stereotypes helps audiences connect quickly with the characters but some portrayals are not accurate.Representation of social groups

The film represents teenagers through stereotypical clothing, appearances, and gritty locations to appeal to a teenage target audience. It portrays teenagers in stereotypical ways like dealing drugs illegally and obeying adult influences, shown through a drug deal location and characters following their boss's orders. The representation of teenagers is meant to be relatable to the target audience rather than appealing to adults through contexts they cannot relate to as well.Evaluation 2

This document discusses representing 16-25 year olds in a media product and analyzing the social groups portrayed. It focuses on a main character, Mandy, who is a curious teenage living in London. Though thrillers typically depict naive characters, Mandy remains level-headed when faced with confusing situations. The document also discusses using subtle colors and a realistic portrayal of Mandy's daily life to make the film feel familiar and relatable to teenage audiences. This close representation is meant to encourage teenagers to feel they can challenge ideas and uncover truths.Target audience of media

This document discusses targeting audiences for a new psychological thriller film. It aims to attract 16-20 year olds by showing their preferred thriller subgenres and conventions in surveys. Both main characters are in their mid-20s to appeal to a wider age range. It also wants to attract viewers interested in breaking stereotypes by portraying the usually dominant male as weak and the typically minor female as psychotic and central. As a low-budget British independent film, it can attract viewers proud to see what little money can achieve and who can relate to the working class characters.Target audience of media

Validity is an important characteristic of a test. A test having low validity is of little use. Validity is the accuracy with which a test measures whatever it is supposed to measure. Validity can be low, moderate or high. There are many factors which affect the validity of a test. If these factors are controlled, then the validity of the test can be maintained to a high level. In the power point presentation, factors affecting validity are discussed with the help of concrete examples.

Social groups
- 1. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
- 2. Class My media product is targeted towards the working class, i have represented this through the characters mannerisms and the way he is dressed, with his fingerless gloves, which are usually associated with people of little wealth Taxi driver/ ghost - scrooged Homeless man - Trading places
- 3. Age The age rating for my film is 15 and is intended for people aged 15 or older, i decided to use an old character for my film as for people who are older would be able to relate to him more but also he is used as someone teenages might whatb to aspire to be like when they get old, this coupled with the young sounding voice coming from the radio gives the audience an insight of that it's not primarily dominated by the older generation. With the old character appearing to be on his own, it supports the stereotype of old people are lonely this is shown through all the pictures he has and the uneaten fruit.
- 4. Gender The character in my film is male, and he can be seen as masculine through him wearing dark clothes, typically in films, characters wear dark clothes to be more intimidating, however this challenges it, as the character in my film seems to be more timid, therefore less manly The Matrix character in dark clothes
