IN WHAT WAYS DOES

YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT

REPRESENT SOCIAL
GROUPS
Presentation of females in our media product

WHAT WE AIMED TO DO

In our media production we aimed to represent a

social group and we achieved this by representing
the stand alone female character of Hannah
balinski to be a strong and indepenant female in
the whole of the media production. We aimed to
represent a female as the predominant figure in
our production to go against the social norms and
defy the patriarchal perception of the female in
media products being the damsel in distress which
is talked about by Propp.

HOW DID WE ACHIEVE THIS

We achieved this by presenting the character o Hanna

Balinski as a stand alone female presence. Thus defies
the common stereotype in media products. By making
the character on Hanna Balinski the main protagonist
and giving her a more sinister and dominant role in our
opening sequence, we achieve and element of surprise.
This is due to the audience not expecting a female to be
the main protagonist and the villain in the piece due to
the constant subordinate role played by females in
media products. Through our media product we defied
the hegemonic ideology and represented feminine
personalities as prominent and significant.
