Evaluation Question 2 - How does your media product represent particular social groups?

When choosing the protagonist for our film we decided to choose a woman in her late 30's as this was a similar convention in other films. We wanted to take a character who appeared to be very conventional and respectable and then gradually expose her seedy past.

Our protagonist is similar to those in many other thrillers and TV dramas, for example the woman pictured below in Last Tango in Halifax (2012) who is played by Sarah Lancashire. They share many similarities such as they are both head teachers and appear to do everything by the book. However they both have secrets they don't want their families and work colleagues to discover.
