My media product represents women rather than men more in the film; I think it because the main character is a women. I have represented women positively which is important as the target audience is women. I have represented women to be strong, independent and confident. I have done this because women that would watch my media product want to feel good after viewing it. Also romantic films are not supposed to make women feel like the weaker gender. I have at times represented the main character as weak and fragile. For example, when she has just been left and there is a zoom up on her face, crying. Although she is vulnerable, some women may still feel that she is strong, which is still representing women positively.
In the opening the female main character is wearing a
black, satin night dress. This could be interpreted that women are sexual objects but then again the character is portrayed as a young adult so it is not frowned upon.
My media piece represents the younger age group (18 -25) to be quite promiscuous as later in the film I would have shown her on nights out, trying to find new potential boyfriends. This could be seen badly but as the target audience is younger, they will accept it and relate to it.
I have not really represented any race or cultures in my media piece as it’s not what the focus was about. I have not included this because I think it would take away the theme of romance if there was too much concentration on different races and cultures.
