How does your media product represent particular social groups – age and/or gender?

Our media product represents a stereotypical divorced family finding a new place to live though with a horror twist. However it wouldn’t have been seen as stereotypical due to the broken family with wife not being present making the film unbalanced but however more realistic to our society now. The daughter should be acting as a daughter to the dad and a sister to the brother but changes this stereotypical role and acts like a “motherly” figure to the daughter. In some ways many people can relate to this who are watching as in society now far more people are having a divorcements or parents are so many people imagine being in this situation which can make it scarier and more realistic and what happens in our media could happen to them. The son is represented as a keen, over-excited, hyper stereotypical 5 year old like the father who is represented as the head of the house hold and the one with the most power. The age of the son and father can be identified well due to their costumes and the way they act. The son is enthusiastic and annoying which a 5 year old is usually presented. The father is caring and wants to involve everyone showing he’s trying to act his role and make everyone happy witch is both stereotypical and they way we want to see a father act. The age of daughter however cant be as easily identified as she attempts to act a lot older than she is as she attempts to act like the mother of the family due to the absent of a motherly figure.
