2.) How does your media product represent particular social groups?

This is the main character in my groups opening sequence and his name is Fredrick. He is casually dressed, laid back and is a generally nice person who is easy to talk to. He cares about other people rather than himself and would put his life on the line for something he believed greatly in. He would also be classed as a middle class person from where he lives a normal life and is just able to pay his bills. Amongst his friends he has a high social status from where they look up to him and aspire to be kind like he is.

Here is a screen grab of the main character from Memento and compared to our main character his is more or less the complete opposite. I know he is the complete opposite from where in the opening sequence you see him kill a person, therefore out straight away no that he is not a nice character. He also seem to have high social status amongst people from where we find out he was a investigator. He is dressed more smartly to suit the type of work he does, which also is different compared to our main character.

This is a screen grab of the main character from the film Gothika and she is more like our main character but she is different gender. She has a higher social status amongst her pears as well from where she works in a mental institution and people usually think that mental people have low social status from where they find it hard to communicate to people. She also dresses casually, because the type of work she does she need people to feel comfortable around her. Altogether our character and Gothika's main character are very similar in a way that they both try and fight for someone's justice.
