Q2 - How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Men: In our thriller men are represented as both weak and strong. This seems odd as most films like to show men as being dominant, mainly over women. However this stereotype does not apply to our thriller as there are no female characters. Never the less the stereotype of men being predatory still lies within our thriller, one character is clearly more powerful and is following the other one with harmful intentions.
Class: Class could be argued to be represented in our thriller. The two characters obviously are from different classes based upon their clothing, our thriller could be seen as the upper class looking down and being more dominant than the lower class, Gerhard representing lower class and Karamel as upper class, one is wearing trampy clothing while the other a suit.
