In order to answer Evaluation Question 2 ‘ How does your media product represent particular social groups’. This blog post helps me to understand the importance of the representation of characters in media products. This evaluation question represents broad social groups and character types such as:

  • Age
  • Gender
  • Status
  • Villain
  • Victim

For this question we focused on topics such as:

  • The character (clothes, props)
  • Location (where and when was it set)
  • Camera (framing shots and techniques)
  • Sound (sound effects and music)
  • Editing (match on action, eye-line match)
  • Narrative (enigma)
