‘How does your media product

represent particular social

groups?’

By Shannon Hartshorne

C.A.G.SMy media product represents the following:•Class•Age•Gender• Status

Class

The audience which my product is targeted/aimed at is the middle class and below. (Group C2, D and E).I have represented class within my product through my characters. My characters are seen to be both rich and poor. However, the way they are presented and dressed encounters the stereotype of the middle class, and how the middle class are unsoiled and neat.

Character profiles

AgeThe audience which my product is targeted/aimed at is 16-34 year olds. In our film our characters are 20 and 25 although the one character is shown as slightly older due to how we present how they look.

GenderIn my product I represented my male in more of a medieval way where as I represented my female character in more of a modern way. I used a leading male character as it tends to be a male actor who takes the lead in films. I decided to make conflicting personalities because it makes the main characters more enjoyable and interesting.

StatusIn my product my characters are both wealthy and poor. Jessica one of my two main characters is presented as a spolit rich girl, she lives a good life, she has plenty of cars and a good job where as my other main character Lucifer is poor compared to Jessica and he barely owns anything. I decided to use conflicting wealth as it shows what their personalities are like.
