Evaluation Questions: Question 2; How does your media product represent different social groups?

My opening sequence only has two characters. The different social groups represented are gender and mental condition.

The two gender opposites are the main female character and her male binary opposite.

The relationship between the two fits with the stereotypical representation of a female character with the male being the more dominant of the two. We have also see dominance like this in other films including cellular with Jason Statham and Kim Basinger.

This dominance is highlighted by the clear power difference between them. On one hand you have the female locked in a shed, clearly overpowered by the main male we see. Who, is wandering round his house completing his daily routine. This clearly shows the separation between the two, with him being highlighted as a more powerful being.

The mental state of a character is also strongly represented in my piece. The main male figure is a sufferer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He is seen completing an otherwise normal daily routine with sets of four. He does things four times over. His mental state is clearly presented as volatile and un-stable.
We got the idea to run a OCD character from a video on youtube.







 The stereotype for mental health is usually basic, but can sometimes go deeper showing extreme signs of psychosis. A prime example of this is from Silence Of The Lambs. In which we see a male character that is an OCD sufferer capture a girl and almost look after her. Which our character sticks very close to. This shows that mental instability can be shown in any form.
