My media product focuses on the negative representations of particular social groups. For example, the paedophile is represented as threatening, the young girl is represented as vulnerable, and within the treatment the single mother is portrayed as being unfit and unworthy. We have used these negative representations as they are stereotypically seen within Thriller films. For example: There is a vulnerable child is seen in the Thriller film 'man on fire'
In the movie 'The Frozen Ground' we see the stereotypically threatening kidnapper, who too, is portrayed as an average Joe with a wife and children.
And in the film 'Taken' shows how the unworthy decisions of a single mother leads up to the kidnapping of her daughter. This is seen as the father is reluctant to let her go, but by the persuasion of the mother, eventually lets her. This could be interpreted as 'unfit' as the mother makes her daughter lie to the protective father, which intern lead her into a major kidnapping.
