Representations
Age – There is a countertype with the fact that Santa Clause
is old yet he fights back a bit when he gets grabbed. The stereotype is held
when he eventually gets beaten by the younger man.
Gender – The fact that the males are fighting and the elf
that is passive in the foreground is a girl holds the stereotype men are more aggressive
than women.
Class – The house in our film is quite nice with lots of
presents giving the impression it is a high class house where as a lower class house
would have a dirty house with very few presents, if any.
Religion – We have chosen to represent the Christian religion
because Christmas is a Christian celebration.
There is no chance for self-representation in the opening
scene with our teen audience but the rest of the film is set on Jack Frost who
is a teenage character so there is chance for self-representation there.
