Evaluation 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups? 

For my media product, I chose specific ways to address particular social groups to represent such as:
Gender - looking at the main role of the male
Age – both different ages involved, so you can see both older and younger

Our male character on the (Left) and Jason from friday the 13th on the (Right)

The male was the main part in the opening sequence as it was all revolved around him, you will see that when watching the sequence. I decided on keeping the stereotypical male murderer and not giving too much away. The sequenced never showed the males face and it was a secret identity which would keep the audience on their feet. By keeping the audience on their feet I kept the murderer in all black clothing and face would be down for most of the shots.

 Our murderer has been compared to Jason from the film 'Friday the 13th', our character doesnt look like Jason but is to believe there is many key similarities with both characters. One way that suggests this is Jason kills his victims in a very personal way, by using a unusual weapon to kill people which was a machete. This shows the murders that go on throughout the film are very brutual, compared to our murderer this suggests their killings are very similar as he kills people with a pole. When comparing both characters there is a few similarities such as mentally unstable, identity is kept hidden, both memorable killings. Jason uses a mask to keep his identity hidden but allows for his body to be seen whereas our character tries to keep his identity hidden and allows for a little light on his face but doesnt give too much away.
