How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The main character of this film represents the main social group that we are targeting. She is representing young women with a young lifestyle, living in a busy city where she has a fast life to keep up with the fast pace of the city.
The people within the film intro are the audience in which we are targeting, later on in the film, as not seen in the intro, when she goes out to bars and clubs the people around her are the audience that would watch this media product. The people on the street that walk to and from work everyday are also our audience as they may be able to relate to work problems in which our main character has.
The ways in which female and male characters are portrayed are very different as their situations change this shows how powerful and non-powerful they are in the film intro. The boss, who we don't see is over powering the main character, as she fills low and under pressure from her male boss. Showing she feels this way not only in her work but this also effect her life. We are not told her boss is male, however this is the feel the audience get, and he is somewhat a stereotypical boss. Not understanding what she feels and only wants whats best for his business and how he feels, being rather selfish.
Also the windowcleaner who is featured at the very beginning of the film could possibly be a romantic interest
