QUESTION 2

What kind of media institute might distribute your product and why?

Gender representation features heavily in our production through the relationships between the main protagonists. During the kidnapping scene, it is clear there is a male initiating the attack on the woman which reinforces the female stereo type that women are weaker then men so usually in films especially crime, play the victim which link to Props stock character theory. 

Also it is clear that the female in the relationship stays at home, makes the breakfast and cleans whilst her husband goes out to work. This is another stereotypical representation of how the male works to provide for his family whilst the women and lives as a domestic wife. We used a close up shot, looking down upon the female once she was knocked out which connotes her as weak. Her facial expression and body language connotes her being defeated which represents the stereotype of women being powerless and fragile.

It is clear that our main protagonists are wealthy due to the location and conventions. An example of this would be we see bruce enter a chaffer driven car whilst being met by his secretary. 

This tells the audience that he is from an upper class due to what could be his profession as we know he is a very successful business owner. This is also represented through the theme of sibling jealously and rivalry as we know Jack his brother isn't as successful as Bruce which is shown through his spitefulness and envy. 

This gives us an example of Levi Strauss’ binary oppositions as we can see that bruce and his brother, despite the fact on having the same upbringing, Jack has clearly taken an opposite route in life compared to a successful Bruce.
