How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In our Thriller all the characters are male, this is for three reasons. One of the reasons is that Males have always been main characters until recently, women were used as a damsels in distress. Another reason is women are not usually in caught up in gang violence. Furthermore, the main gender we was targeting was male as they are usually attracted to these type of gang violence films. The main plot of our thriller is a male being murdered by 5 males because he saw a drug deal happen.

We have targeted the teenagers as this is their type of film. After seeing the success of 'Kidulthood' and 'Adulthood' we knew that this is what young people want to see.

ethnicity was restricted as i didn't want people being offended and thinking that this was a racial thriller. Therefore, we was adamant that the victim had to be a caucasian male, we used all types of ethnicity in the gang members because we didn't want to stereotype on certain in a gang.
