EVALUATION QUESTION 2 REPRESENTATION OF SOCIAL GROUPS

I chose to explain further these social groups in a PINTREST, I  focused on the five main social groups in my film.

 In my film there are only three characters, but all three are from three different social groups;

The first is mothers:

 These pictures show a mother and child. This is illustrating the social group of motherhood. Motherhood is the stereotypical social group that most women fall into. It has become the norm that all women should become mothers and if not they become social outcasts. The role of women has become, that there job is to raise and nurture offspring, whilst  men and fathers are the sole breadwinners.

The second social group is women who cannot have children:

These pictures show the minority group of women that are unable to concieve children. Due to reputation and prejudice, these women are sometimes seen and outcasts as it is as if they cant fulfill there job to have children. For the women themselves, they often suffer from depression and can isolate themselves from the outside world. Marital discord often develops in infertile couples, especially when they are under pressure to make medical decisions. 

The third and final group is children:

These pictures show the social group of children. As children grow up they fall into certain social groups which shape them for later life. 

Popular Kids

Popular kids are generally “alpha males” and “queen bees” who may be more athletic, talkative, attractive or simply controlling than other members of a group. These kids generally have social skills that draw others to them to have fun, and are considered leaders of a group. 

Accepted Kids

The majority of kids fall into this group. They are not “leaders,” but they are considered popular. Accepted kids are generally smart and outgoing and not likely to be overly aggressive or disruptive in school.

Average or Ambiguous Kids

These kids are not ranked by their peers as very popular or unpopular but certainly have friends.

Neglected Kids

A small number of kids are truly neglected by their peers. These kids tend to be quiet, good students, but not active socially at all. 

Controversial Kids

Both liked and disliked, these kids are often the class clowns.

Rejected Kids

At the highest social risk are “rejected kids.” There are two types: rejected-submissive kids who become sad and withdrawn to avoid attracting attention and rejected-aggressive kids who can become emotionally explosive if teased excessively.

We decided to make the child in our film an "Accepted kid" as she would have to be confident enough to go off without her mother. 

Marie Colvin, Female war photographer

• There are many female war photographers, who capture iconic images of the most shocking and disturbing things.

• "Some of today’s top conflict photographers just happen to be women."- Aimee Baldridge

• Women photographers now work on the front lines of the news, where fear and violence are standard occupational hazards. But beyond the chaos and carnage, there are also extraordinary moments of humanity and heroism.

 

After researching war photographers,we decided it would be fitting for the job of the protagonist. The reason that we have decided this is because of the effects it has on people: watching this trauma going on can have horrific consequences.

An example of a iconic female war photographer is Marie Colvin. She was injured which is the reason she wears her eye patch. She then risked her life taking her war images and was killed in bombings in Syria. This demonstrates the risks that these women go through to show the world the horrific truths of war.
