Our media
product has only white males from ages 16 – 50+, it shows a large 50+ male as
being the police chief, and the assassin is a young white male , also you only
see the eyes.
I think our
police chief is stereotyped, as he is a white male, 50+ , with a rather large
build to show he doesn’t do field work, but more office duties. This isn’t a
negivitive stereotype, unless you’re a police chief who is tired of people
assuming he’s a overweight aging man. Apart from that our film product doesn’t stereotype
any particular age, physical ability or sexuality. However gender is only male,
this is because we couldn’t see a part for a female character in the first two minutes
with her being seen as some ones wife, or someone’s lover on the street corner,
which would confuse the killers motives.
We showed
some characters as middle class, with long coats and mannerisms, but some
working class, with camouflage coats and jeans. But also upper class with a man
in tie blazer and shirt, who speaks with a upper class accent.
The upper
class man is seen in a well lit room, on the television during a news broadcast,
while the majority of the shots are based on the middle class man, then the
lower class man is seen in the dark.
