Unit 1 - Media Messages

Gender

Film: Wonder Woman
Gender Group: Female
Analysis: As a superhero movie with a female lead character, Wonder Woman as a movie was the first superhero movie to follow a female character that women could enjoy.


Age

Film: The Iron Giant
Age Group: All Ages
Analysis: Presented initially as a family film, The Iron Giant presents a well-balanced message that appeals to both children and adults. Even at my age I still hold it as one of my favorite childhood movies to watch when I was young.


Social Group

Film: The Lord of the Rings
Social Group: Readers
Analysis: The Lord of the Rings films were presented to longtime fans and readers of J. R. R. Tolkien’s work, implementing all of the elements of the original books to meet the intended audience.


Ethnicity

Film: Black Panther
Category: Ethnic
Analysis: From my understanding of its marketing, Black Panther is one of the first superhero films to feature a predominantly black cast. Focusing on representing a different ethnic group rather than a predominantly white cast for this movie.

Media Representation


In this one clip from Downton Abbey, it presents a look into a household full of people working. Obviously showing a wealthy house and who the owner has employed. There are different groups of people that are easy to individualize based on the costume design. Downton Abbey itself is a series set around a wealthy family, showcasing the different social classes that are represented in the 20th century. A clip from Hotel Babylon goes into the subject of ethnicity and is represented to show the struggles of immigrants.
