How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our media can represent a variety of different social groups, such as young adults and people with mental disorders. We start with James, a 21 year old male. However, he is not the typical young adult because he suffers from schizophrenia. The films could show the audience how people with these mental disorders can struggle with their life, trying to ignore their symptoms. It may not represent them in a good light though, especially in the intro, but throughout the film, if we made it, the audience should be able to connect with James, seeing how much he is struggling.


James may also represent young males; he is living on his own and struggling to hold a job. Although, this may be due to him having schizophrenia.


As you can see from the picture above, James is looks relatively normal, and is just dressing up smartly preparing for a job interview. This is what any typical person would do to look good to the employer.


Joe is seen to be different because he is one of James’ hallucinations. He is dressed unusually, wearing a bow tie. This is to give him a villain like quality, similar to that of the Joker, also having an evil stare on his face. This is so the audience see him as a villain, meaning that they will want James to conquer his disorder.
