Question 2 CONTINUED - How does your media product represent particular social groups

This is compared with a scene from "Saw." Our product tries to represent a young male with being unable to control his usual "tough/manly" characteristics when in danger. This was achieved mainly through directing the acting and emotions which the character showed and also partially the shots used. The close ups intensified his emotions. Similarities with how characters are represented here is firstly both look helpless because they are both tied up. Both seem in agony and stressed. Both are young males showing emotions which are uncommon for that type of social group.



Differences are that one male is without a top and the other is fully dressed. One also seems to be in much more in distress than the other which shows the difference in peoples emotions and reactions to being in a helpless situation.
