Evaluation Question 2) How does your media product represent particular social groups?

How gender is represented?
In our Thriller Gender can only be lightly touched upon cause there is not much you can say about the main character, except how he didnt act as a typical dominant male who would have put up a fight against the killer.But with the killer their identity is unknown so you cant determine whether or not they are male or female.



How is Age represented?
In our Thriller it shows an independent young person living alone, this in itself is very uncommon and highly contrasting to the usual stereotype of a young person. The same problem with the representation of the killers gender is also applicable for their age as it too is not known.

How is Class Represented?
The protagonist in our  thriller comes across as being well refined and organised, and this could give the  impression he  belongs in the  higher class of society. and by being attacked in his own home could give the impression that those in higher classes are vulnerable to those who are below them in society.    

How is ethnicity represented? 
Ethnicity is also another one which is not really represented in anyway, also again the killers ethnicity is too not revealed to the audience.
