HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS?
Representation is different for different people. They are intentionally composed, written, branded, targeted, and censored by their producers, and that they are entirely artificial versions of the reality we perceive around us.
This is a collage of the stereotypical 30 year old woman in today's society. In my thriller opening, the main character is a thirty year old woman, but she is completely the opposite of the stereotype. She is mentally disturbed and she commits a crime. However, she does have a job and she does have a house like most thirty year old women would probably have.

The social group that I have represented is normal working class women who are in their thirties. They work and they own their own household. Normally, these women would have children and a husband. They would probably have a nuclear family and would be part of some type of activity in their community like the gym or dance classes.
I have presented this stereotypical idea of thirty year old women in a negative way. Although she seems normal at first and she looks like there is nothing wrong with her, when she goes into the house we see that actually she is not normal. It is a negative representation because we are presenting her as being crazy and quite disturbed, which detracts from the normal stereotypical idea of these women.
