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

Jason Máson to The Joker

For our character Jason, we tried our best to train our actor to perform just like ‘The Joker’from Batman. Our actor found it quite easy to replicate the characteristics of The Joker as he wasn't a stranger to the characteristics and background of the joker. Our actor performed excellently to show the craziness of the original Joker

From the pictures above, you can see that we used make-up and hairspray to the best of our advantage to actually replicate the image of the Joker

Annabel to Casey Becker

For our character Annabel, we wanted her to conform to the characteristics of CaseyBecker from scream. In scream, Casey Becker performed accurately to ‘a damsel in distress’.

You can see from the 2 pictures that the actions of both charactersare very identical. We tried our best to replicate Casey Becker, however,the only difference is that we didn’t give Annabel the ability to fight backlike Casey did in scream.

Overall, I believe we replicated the stereotype of ‘a damsel in distress’excellently.

Christina to Pepper Potts

For Christina, we tried our best to replicate Pepper from Iron man. We failed to actually follow the characteristics of pepper and constructed a totally different character. We were able show dominance is Christina by her actually killing the antagonist. We successful portrayed the stereotype of Pepper Potts subverting women having power. We dressed our character quite professionally to conform to Pepper’s representation.

Bryson to Clark Kent

We failed to replicate Clark Kent through Bryson. Our reasons for this is because, last minute we decided that Bryson is knocked out after a seeing Jason and that Christina “saves” the day at the end by shooting him. We also failed to replicate the figure of superman, Powerful and Noble, whereas, Bryson is weak and vulnerable.One thing that was successful was replicate his image. Our character has dark hair and clothing just like Clark in the picture.
