Evaluation Question 2.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Stereotypicall assumptions for teenage girls:
The media stereotype female teenages to be moody, lazy, want to be socially excepted and conscience about there appearance. The two female characters in our opening sequence will be aged 16 typically this is when teenagers feel most stressed because of exams and future life decisions. In our opening sequnce they are going for a run, this supports my idea that they worry about what society thinks of them. In our opening squence Molly would be seen as a demsel in distress. We have represented this in our opening squence when Molly is pulled back by an older man and she results in sceaming out if fear.

Stereotypical assumptions for a middle aged male:
40 year old males stereotypically tend to have a lifestyle that they tent to repeat everyday and are 'set in there ways'. Males are typically stronger and more dominant in this case more minipulative to younger girls this would support Propp's character theory along with Molly being a damsil in distress.  They may also have a family and a middle class job in an office. 

In our opening sequnce we see the two teenages in a conventional way because they are running to improve their appearence. But on the other hand we also see them sociallising with eachother. Their clothes are also unconventional because they are not wearing tight outfits or a full face of make up. The idea of one of the girls being stalked in the woods also connotes that she is a easy target for the older male. 
We see the male in an conventional way, he is wearing black walking boots, big trousers, blue shirt and gloves. We decided on this outfit for the male because we needed something that would make him look stereotypical for the character. E.g. the blue shirt signifies that he is a male but by wearing a shirt rather then a polo this connotes that he could have a regular office job which is typical for this age group, the use of gloves connote that he doesnt want people to know what he is going although he is dragging around a rope in the forrest, the colour of his gloves are also black, this colour is signified to be scary and dooming. The gloves are also leather and not cotton this signifys that he is slik and is able to afford a more luxuary acsessories.
