Evaluation task 2: How does your product represent particular social groups?

In our product there are two social groups to analyze since there are two different characters, one female character and one male character both represented in very different ways.
The female character is represented as vulnerable and emotionally uncontrolled, she is taking her anger, frustration and all other emotions into creating the tension and the sense of danger that we were aiming to achieve in the sequence. This view is adhering to a specific stereotype where the girl is the one losing control and creating a specific emotional state where it is classified as psychological problems more than just feelings. I choose a screen grab which I thought would represent the feelings that she is having also showing her obsession of anger and of the male character in a way. This is also in some ways also what some of the female audience may feel connection to, meaning that our female character is representing the female teenagers feeling and adhering to her feelings. This might be because they actually be through the same emotional state or that they are just siding with her think, her point of view/feelings is the right way to react. A movie which is also showing a female character being in an uncontrollable emotional state is “The black swan”. The main character is losing control over herself and her emotions which could in some ways be compared to our female character.

The male character are on the other hand represented as to the total opposite to how the female character, he is portrayed as calm, relaxed and has more eased feeling about the situation. He is at the same time removing evidence and photos of the female ever being there, this are seen in the screen grabs. Since there is a big contrast it is suppose to give the audience a choice to side depending on what group you may relate to. The male character is also adhering to a stereotype, showing him as not caring, relaxed and casual about the situation this often seen as man being a jerk, referring to a “heartbreaker” often seen and portrayed as a villain in media products. One movie where there is a similar character is in a movie called “John tucker must die” which basically is about a guy taking break-ups and girls with light-hearted feeling also adhering to the stereotype explained above.
