How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The protagonist for our film was a male between the years of 18 and 22, dressed in a smart and casual style. As we wanted to keep things simple we decided stick with the dominant ideology by using a white male as seen in most mainstream films. We chose the dress style of casual to make it clear to the viewer that this was just the average male.

However, in a way we do challenge the representation of the male in our film. We do this by placing the male character in danger whereas usually in many mainstream films it would be the female character that would play the damsel in distress, however in our film it is the male.
