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

I believe that this film challenges stereotype as well as going against the usual stereotype. Firstly, our film is about the kidnapping of a mans daughter. In a film where there is a kidnapp it is usually a daughter who is kidnapped therefore we match the stereotype of women beingmore vulnerable and more of a target than men. We showed this in the film by the character speaking to his daughter on the phone whilst being watched by the kidnapper, although the kidnapping isnt shown, i believe we give enough evidence and storyline in our film to explain to the audience that the daughter is going to be kidnapped.

I believe that we didnt match the usual stereotype in the way that the characters are portayed. Our victim ( father ) is a tall man and the kidnapper is smaller. I believe that a kidnapper would tend to me more taller and broader as it will make the kidnapper look the part better, and if the father was more of a smaller guy, maybe representing the stereotype of smaller people being more targeted.
