Evaluation 2 - 'How does your media product represent particular social groups?'

We have the female gender being shown as the weaker sex in our sequence. We didn't focus much on the character itself for too long as she wasn't the main factor in the sequence. Although if seen in this frame one can see that she's a young female probably in her late teens or early 20's - we've shown her as being tied up and a victim of a male villain.


Our main idea was to focus on the male character and what he was doing. We didn't show much of the male character but we wanted character type similar to Christian Bale's character in 'American Psycho' who was a successful business man wanting to fit in with urges to murder. Like in 'American Psycho' there is a male character who is dominant to the female gender (as seen on the right) just like in our sequence. Since we didn't give a lot of information on our male character we can't say much about ethnicity but our main idea was to show a normal everyday male who can't control his urges to murder, like the character in 'American Psycho.'
