How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Our film Subject: Monroe represents women as strong and independant giving them a positive and modern representation. We do this by showing her as living alone or at least not having a man to protect her as when her house is being burgled there is no sign of anyone else living there. This occurs just within the first two minutes. If the rest of our film was to be made it would show that she is also a trained agent who has to work in a male orientated world everyday. Therefore we challenge the stereotype that women stand back and let the men do the important things. This was our main aim all along, to follow in the same footsteps of films such as Tomb Raider and Salt.
We represent middle aged men as being devious and vicious, as they are the ones commiting burglary and are quite happy to beat up a woman if it aids their escape. This is something that came about as an attempt to represent women in a modern way. But nevertheless we did portray a traditional representation of men through that and also they are meant to look strong and confident.
