2. How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?

In our film we represented females in a positive way, through the inclusion of a strong, independent heroine. This is done in order to appeal to our female, secondary audience.

We had a typical representation of strong and masculine males, through the henchman, however this character also represented men in a negative way. 

This information, as well as a background of the representation of women in sci-fi films is shown in the prezi below.


Gender Roles in Society

Our opening brings light to the importance of women in society, through the reflection of Leora in a positive way with her strength, athleticism and wit. Also, Adam's reliance on Leora, again, reflects women in a good way.

Power Struggle

Leora is initially captured by the Henchman since he is able to overpower her with his strength. This shows that women can not physically challenge men. However, the fact that she still manages to escape from him through the use of her intelligence shows that women can use other advantages.
