TASK EVALUATION 2
How does our media product represent Different social Groups?
AGE
In our film, our two characters that play roles are of completely different ages. first we have the eastern european taxi driver who plays the role as a 45-50 year old male where as our young female actor plays as a 17-18 year old girl. Throughout the film, it clear the male figure has the dominant authority over the girl as its clear as he kills her in the ending. The female actor though is giving herself away as an easy target that is under threat to to her current state of being quite drunk which is a reason why the taxi driver is able to take full advantage. Furthermore, due to his acent and culture many members of the public deem eastern european men as quite intimidating. Stereotypical is also a term which can be referred to both our characters. first the young girl who is always out partying and getting drunk with little care and responsibility for herself, where as the males accent and job is seen as a usual formality for many British people at his age. Both our characters relate to characters from the movie Taken as well as new articles and recent news stories relating to UBER which include victims of around the same age
Overall from both characters point of view we can clearly say that they are represented negatively
CLASS
In our movie class is represented very well but from todays society, an eastern european taxi driver is associated with being a low class citizen but in this case due to his fierce and no nonsense personality it shows he is in control and not intimidated by what he sees. this is a way is shown positivity as he is not letting his low class background effect is intent in killing a young girl. It also shows power on behalf of himself.On the other hand our young girl of middle class is seen as any other young middle class girl out partying and drinking too much which doesn't represent the minority of other girls in her class category. As an example to other girls she is a clear threat with little power due to her state to fight of any harm put against her.This again relates to the film Taken where a young wealthy american girls gets kidnapped by poor eastern european men.
GENDER
In todays world, young girls drunk or not drunk our a main target for men to rape and kill. Here however the young female is giving herself away easily and seen as a stereotypical young girl. in her mind this goes her authority where realistically the male taxi driver who many people see as intimidating has lots of power in over ruling this girl which is negativity shown as it relates to most middled aged taxi drivers, foreign or not. furthermore to the female characters, her dress of a short skirt and earnings is also another invitation for rapists and murders.
overall from all 3 categories, the female characters is seen as a much more negative person and a clear stereotype for other young females with similar age and background compared to the male who normal attire doesn't stand out from the crowd however when he opens his mouth the accent is an instant intimidation and set back for other people who would approach this man.
