Evaluation Of Thriller Film "Captured" Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?
In Captured we decided to challenge the contemporary representation of ethnic minorities. In thrillers such as Pulp Fiction,the black character is represented as a criminal, in Pulp fiction Samuel Jackson works for the crime lord.  We challenge this by making our main character innocent but powerful. Usually characters of the black ethnicity are either the protagonist, or the hero, just like in Se7en with the character of Somerset. In social realist films such as This is England, the ethnic minority is stereotypically a criminal or is a victim of racism like Milky from This is England.
Throughout the film, Caesar is the focus, camera angles and techniques are used to connote Caesar's dignity,tracking shots are used to make him the centre of attention, close ups to capture his emotions and bring the audience closer to him. The character is young as well which challenges the  black hooligan stereotype as he is a young university student who we presented as sophisticated and smart using formal attire for his costume, a shirt,trousers and black shoes with his distinctive dreadlocks which is a distinct signifier of his culture. 
Another challenge we made was making our protagonist/criminal of a religious background. The stereotypical Christian does good deeds and is a "good Samaritan". Whereas  Jason Strong is a fundamental  Christian racist which "Captured" puts across as a toxic combination.
Another representation is of age, our main character Caesar is 22, still young, at university and is the victim of a racist attack. Our protagonist Jason Strong, is in his 40's, he attacks and plots to kill Caesar, this challenges the stereotype of younger people abusing older generations. 

Our female character represents women in our film, she is passive, although she contrasts her father's racism by dating Caesar. She is a marginal character like the wife in Se7en and doesn't appear in the action thus perpetuating the imagination of women in thrillers.
