Evaluation: How does your film represent particular social groups?

Stereotypically, females are represented as vulnerable in my film as the girl is the victim, whereas again stereotypically males are portrayed as more important as they take the roles of both the protagonists and the antagonist. The anatagonist is wearing a hooded sweatshirt which is stereotypical of a working class young male which is usally associated with a menacing and aggressive demeanor. However the hooded top is mainly used to cover the antagonists face so it does not necessarily connote he is of this this social group. The two detectives also talk to each other very informally and also use some bad language,which would not be typically expected from detectives, also connoting that they may be from a working class background in a stereotypical manner. This dialogue between the two is also stereotypical of male interaction, as such that they seem 'unbothered' by the murder and unwilling to show emotions about it, but this convention is ended at the end when it is clear that they do care about stopping the killer.
