Q2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Ours is quite interesting because in some cases we meant to do it and and it other's we didn't.


For instance my character as the big (or in my case not so big) bad boss in charge of a drug trafficking and supplying operation isn't very stereotypical I don't think. But in some ways I think it is because whenever you have something like that going on you sometimes have the "white man" in charge of the operation and his "coloured muscle" doing the dirty work.




Delarney's character isn't stereotypical I thought because when ever you have a multi raced cast it usually end's up that the white person is the victim and the black person is the bad guy so we decided to challenge the stereo type and cast Delarney as both the main character and the victim.





Daryl's character is stereotypical because whenever you need someone to be a henchman and it's a multi raced cast the director would usually cast someone like that to fill the role. And because the other two roles were sorted you before we decided it was convenient to match this to the stereotype.
