Responding to Question 2: How does your media product represent various social groups?

Although our product is more initially focused on the change of society, there is a certain trend towards focusing on a female audience, as both protagonists in the two acts are both female and the only known antagonist is presumably male. We chose the female characters to be somewhat neutral with their approach to the dilemmas, neither are stereotypically 'ditzy' or too masculine, they present a strong figure when threatened but can let their confidence shrink if overwhelmed.


This section shows the female characters challenging the concepts of a female character.
We suggest that our audience is potentially female and therefore can relate more realistically to the character


 The male characters, or antagonist are presented as an empty vessel with little screen time, presented emotion or any basic feelings. The lack of this male character allows the audience to interpret their own instrests towards the character, developing a more deeper and challenging the conventions of a stereotypical male kidnapper.
