1. CRAGS
Applied to Misjudged: AS Level Media Piece

2. Class
 Aimed at A-B
 Representations of class in my production do not concern who my
product is aimed at, as in my narrative my protagonist goes
through a change in persona (from a governmental agent –
terrorist)
 Class has more importance at the start of the film due to the clear
divide in clothing between the interrogator and terrorist, however in
this case class doesn’t show importance, the terrorist is more
‘valuable’ than the protagonist due to containing valuable
information.
 Class has more relevance to the content due to the harsh nature
and intelligence needed by the audience to understand why the
protagonist relates to terrorist ideology.

3. Race
 Coloured male (Muhammad) seen as weak when being
abused in the interrogation scene, therefore stereotype of
the black man being strong is rejected.
 Coloured male is not a terrorist and is innocent, completely
rejects classic stereotype used particularly in Hollywood
movies.
 White male becomes part of a terrorist organisation, not
traditional at all, makes the white man the villain.
 White male starts off in a good job, wealthy – changes
completely after incident

4. Age
 The casts age didn’t reflect their age within the
production, they look older and played a more mature
role within the film; they were purely chosen due to
accessibility & acting capabilities.

5. Gender
 We portrayed the male protagonist to have power, whilst in
the flashback shots he is in control. A male fit the role better
than a female due to the violence needed, we used a
stereotype there due to it suiting our film.
 We focused our film on the message that racial stereotypes
are no longer relevant within today's sociality and the
ideology that all terrorists are from a middle eastern
background is wrong. Therefore we thought the use of
males would be easier, following the general Hollywood
platform of male’s being violent. We felt it to be too much of
a challenge to use females for the interrogator/suspect.

6. Sexuality
 The sexuality portrayed in my production is
heterosexual, as this is traditional and institutional as
Hollywood maintains dominant ideologies of
heterosexuality. This can be seen through the
masculine role as the survivor, which my protagonist
has, this confirms the stereotype that men are seen as
masculine.
