Evalution question 2

How does your media product represent particular groups?

Generally women are seen as the weaker sex and in movie will play a damsel in distress role which evebtually a man will thien come and save her. In our movie we represent women as strong character but that does still not lack femininity this very much so challenges the stereotypical representation of a female in the media. Our character is very similar to Tomb raider's Lara croft were women are represented in the same view. Our character is supposed to be another of the many victims of the serial killer but she is rather cunning and in fact is able to turn the table on him so she is then the killer rather than the killed. In Lara croft she can instantly be looked at and you will see she is a strong woman whereas our character look like she is easily going to fall victim to the serial killer's ways. Lara croft has many similarities to are character in the fact that she use her feminist as a strength instead of a weakness and they both challenge the ideas that once a woman has feeling for a man she cant hurt him but make the male protagonist fall into this role as he

seems to fall for her and can't kill her. A difference between our to character and Lara croft is that ours wears are hair down compared to Lara croft who has hers tired back taking away some of her femininity
