The Final Thriller

Question 1- In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Question 2- How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Created with Padlet

Question 3- What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Question 4- Who would be the target audience for your media product?

Question 5 -How did you attract/address your audience?

Question 6- What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Whilst constructing my evaluation and my media thriller I learnt how to use many different types od editing, thw ways in which to answer questions such as prezi, survey monkey, popplet, spicynodes and voice notes. I also learnt how to record on a camera and then upload and edit it on final cut express. Using a tripod, filming outside and inside and then taking this project and putting my own personal touches. These skills are skills that I would not have develped if it wasnt for this project and I learnt that there are many different ways to present something it being a question or a movie or a thriller/trailer.

Question 7-Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the product?

How is gender represented in the extract Prime Evil?

How is gender represented in the prime evil extract?

Throughout the extract prime evil authority is constantly being switched between people and 

this includes men and women and it seems as if they are both fighting for who can get the most authority and gain this high status.

Men are usually more likely to be recognised as the archetypes in films which is the typical traditional hero which comes and rescues the women. This is shown when the lady is thrown on the floor by the man in the barn holding a gun to her and she is rescued by her friend who is a male figure who is holding a gun to the man in the barns head, saving her. This portrays him as the hero figure which lives up to the stereotype of men having more authority than women and more powerful hence he was able to rescue her. This is also emphasised when the man in the field tries to distract the creature which is attacking the crane the woman is driving and get it away from her so it doesn’t hurt her. He then sacrifices himself to make himself look more dominant and to play the typical role of a hero in this extract.  

However this is also contradicted in this extract as the women do not live up to the stereotypical women’s role in society or the perceived role that some women are given. This stereotype is that a woman is a damsel in distress that needs to be rescued which they slightly give off. However the blonde woman in the prime evil extract actually rescues the male figure which would not usually happen. Whilst he is near death trapped in a whole being attacked by a creature she quickly thinks about what she can do to save him and starts to hit the creature with the vehicle she is driving. This shows that she is not the stereotypical woman that may be given off and she rejects this stereotype which is the opposite. This is also shown at first when the lady telling the barn male that he has to get rid of his dogs or she will call the police, she has authority not only because of her job but even the way she presents herself. She has automatically gained and stated that she has more authority than him because she is wearing what seems to be more expensive clothing, she looks cleaner and she looks like she has more money which insinuates she has more status. The man then shows that he is not going to allow to be threatened by her and without saying it gives the impression that it may be not only because he doesn’t like being told what to do but also because she is a woman and he is a man and traditionally this would never happen which aggravates him.  

As this is continuous, the blonde lady saves the man and then he tries to rescue her but then she rescues him again but then he goes and gets help so he looks as if he is saving and protecting her. This seems like a continuous cycle which shows that men and women in modern society compete for authority and status. This is also due to equal rights because women have now got more opportunities in life and are seen as equal to men so they will do anything to prove this and that is the way it seems in the prime evil extract.

Therefore overall the prime evil extract shows that it doesn’t matter what gender you are overall they are quite equal in status. However it shows how men try to impress and play the auhtorative figure but may not succeed due to the status and authority and power that women have actually been given in modern society.
