Evaluation Task 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?



I chose to compare the first victim in Animus, Kate, to Casey Becker, the first victim in the iconic Scream. They both have similar roles in both movies as they are the ones whose deaths raise the alarm of a serial killer. Their characters are not entirely developed as they are dead in the first few minutes, however in Animus it is Kate's husband who seeks out the killer and provides the main driving force force behind his actions. They are also different in their age and occupation, which reflects in appearance. Casey is a high school student in America and is dressed in casual clothes. However, Kate is a professional woman who has come home late from work, still dressed in work attire.

  1. This is a little basic, Ryan. You could evaluate the role of the vulnerable female in your genre of film and refer to how you represented your character through other elements of mise-en-scene, camerawork and editing.
