How does your media product represent particular social groups

Our film only presented two types of stereotypes but they are the common two for the type if film we made. it was a chase sequence, so we had the bad guy, in casual clothing with a hood to show who they were and what their role clearly was going to be. We then had the high class character dressed in a suit who seemed to have the most power. We chose to do this because it is easier for an audience to understand what each characters role is if we are following the basic stereotypes of how characters should look depending on their role in a film. It also makes it clear who has the higher status because of their clothing because how smart they look shows you if they were successful or not so you can tell who has the more power/authority.
