The Evaluation: Question 2

Question 2- How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our media product demonstrates the many key aspects of the roles of male and female as well as the professionalism of the company boss. Good and evil is also demonstrated within our media film . Firstly, females are represented as firstly easiest to prey on and very helpless, showcased in Mr. Tates fantasies. It also plays on the delicacy of a woman and them being an easily manipulated sex. However in the 'reality' scenes the female is actually dominant. She is the head of the company and makes all the decisions, in fact is in complete control of the situation. Dianne is quite clearly an independent woman but does want a male element in our film. Dianne is also the good character as she is innocent and does nothing wrong, she is also the one who is the victim and must prevail over the evil character to survive and to cease any other attacks from him, a typical role of a 'goody' A very good example i thought of to describe this would be M, the head of MI6 in the James Bond films as all of these attributes fit her character and she is a 'goody' in the film, where as the submissive, defenseless girl can be described, as fore mentioned in the first evaluation question, the majority of female victims in films.













Mr. Tates character seems a rather intelligent male character and portrays that sex very well. In the scenes of his fantasies he is obviously dominant. He does all the chasing in the film and is very physically strong and fast. During the interview he is calm an collected and seems intelligent. He is blatantly telling Dianne everything she wants to here to get close to her and to get the job. All of this portrays a typical male figure as the more dominant sex. He is also very clearly seen as a big representation of evil. He wants to kill and hurt and gets enjoyment out of it, it is also the reason for him trying for the job. A character perfect for portraying both of these sides and the type of male the film wants to show the audience is Hannibal Lecter from Hannibal as this is how his character is, intelligent and totally dominant in all situations. He too is also an 'evil' character
