media evaluation question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Howler shows the gender of man to be a number of things.

Secretive

This character is secretive because at the beginning of the film he is intimidated very easily and he is fearful then he is the feared at the end by the enemy in the closing seconds of the opening.

 Thuggish

This character is seen as a very intimidating man because of the whole “hood” stereotype, although its not a hood his face is only half shown and the black jumper adds to this effect because he stands out in the snow, the thuggish is also shown by the way the character walks, he swings his shoulders back and forth for a menacing view.

False

This character is also shown as false because before character 1 faces character 2, character 2 is mugging character 1 and hitting him but when character 1 faces character 2 he is scared out of his mind and tries to run away.

How the young are shown

The generation of young people are shown as negative mainly, this is the case because character 2 is a complete thug and is horrid in the first half but he is then scared of his victim and character 1 is negative because he deals with the mugging in the wrong way although we don’t see what he does we can get an idea from the ending.
