Gender, Ethnicity,
Sexuality, age
- Gender: There are only males within the opening
sequence of our thriller film which
represents a stereotype that only men are
involved in criminal behaviour such as the
content within our film. This means that our
group has subscribed to general
stereotypes of society such as only men
being involved in these criminal activities.
- Sexuality: Although it is not expressed in our opening, non of the
male characters involved in the crimes of our production are gay
and thus means we have again subscribed to stereotypes in
society where many organised criminals are heterosexual with
their sexuality. This is a negative stereotype in the sense that it
suggests homosexual men are incapable of being involved in
"serious" and bad crimes but crime should not be committed in the
first place so there are no aspects of this stereotype that are
particularly positive.
- Ethnicity: Focusing on the issue of ethnicity, there is evidence within
our media text of race distinctions. The top criminal presented in our
opening is white and the character who is doing, for better words,
"his dirty work" is a black person. This would suggest that the White
character as "Boss" is superior to the character of Alex who is black
and thus suggests that the distribution of power can originate back
to factors such as race where White people are more elevated in
positional value than other races. This relates to stereotypes in
society where ethnic minorities are on many occasions perceived as
less powerful or rightful than middle/upper class white people.
- Age: The topic of age within our thriller opening relates to the fact that the actors
within the production are teenagers playing characters that are roughly middle age.
This again relates to generalisations in society where the people at the bulk of
organised and messy crime are middle aged (with the authorities normally white)
men in suits who disguise their actions with professional appearance. We also had
the younger and more gullible character who did not quite know the consequences of
his actions and unfortunately ended up as the victim. This is based on his lack of
experience and integrity in the "business" of crime as he is younger than the
characters that set him up. This again relates to the idea that in society you will
suffer without experience in various fields such as employment and the crime
industry.
