1. How does your media product
represent particular social
groups?

2.  My film represents gender portrayal. The main
character is female, who are commonly portrayed
to be one of the following archetypes in media
products:
Femme Fatale
Loyal Wife
Damsel in Distress
 In this instance, the female character is the
Damsel in Distress as she is clearly the victim
running away from something and being attacked;
she is seen as vulnerable and the film wouldn’t
have the same effect if the main character was a
male as they are stereotypically seen as the
heroes.

3.  Bad Moon ( 1996):
While on an expedition in Nepal, photo-journalist Ted
and his girlfriend are attacked by a werewolf that kills her
and savagely bites him.

4. My film also represents age. The costume
and the actress show the character to be
quite young. This again shows her
vulnerability because teenagers are mostly
seen as quite naive; an older woman might
seem less vulnerable.

5.  I Was A Teenage Werewolf (1957):
Tony Rivers, a troubled teenager at Rockdale High, is
known for losing his temper and overreacting. Within two
sessions of therapy, it is suggested to Tony that he was
once a werewolf.
