How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our media production doesn't specifically represent any particular social groups, however it could be argued for because the only actors used where male, this is could live up to stereotypes because the stereotypical cricketer is male. Therefore by only using male actors it almost agrees with this stereotype. This could have been seen as a negative because it can cause women to feel oppressed and make them feel uncomfortable to watch or enjoy the sport of cricket. However it is a positive representation of the cricketer and shows that inspiring young cricketers can make it to the level of the main star, in this case Joe. However we try to capture the kind of clothing which would be worn in a training environment, however this could have been better if Joe was in tracksuit bottoms opposed to jeans. And if in the interview the clothing was more formal than jeans and a t-shirt.
In my film there is no real link to gender representations, however this may not be true for the fact that we used male actors for the cricket side of the filming, this is seen as 'masculine' and fits with the typical view of a man. This is that they should be into sports and keeping fit, healthy and strong. It also keeps to the general representation of a man because in the shots there are none of him showing much emotion, for example in none of the shots we see Joe cry for example as this is usually associated with being weak and therefore isn't typically seen as being manly. However it could be argued that the film doesn't show typical gender representations because of how short the clips are which don't include any real interaction between the audience and the actors, therefore we never really see Joe communicate to the camera and therefore the audience never feel the sense of emotion from the opening as they would with a horror where it can sometimes be clear who is who or if they show any other 'typical' emotion towards other characters.
