Our media product representents both middle and working class audience. This is due to the female newsreporter being middle class unlike the protagonist being 'Working Class' working part time in a local shop. These two very different people can relate to both audiences the middle class news reporter showing a woman in power giving the story of the typical every day working class male going missing. These two roles work well together to give our product more realism and seem more realistic.
In our product we enabled the working class to seem inferior and vunerable in a way that it was typical for a working class male to go missing, we also used a female news reporter on purpose to show a middle class fem
ale reporting on the story. The irony of this was the male being in danger and the weak one whereas the female news anchor was reporting the story. Also the male news reporter, who is also middle class, was working for the female news achor which breaks typical stereotypes of men being dominant. As you can see, in comparison to 'Anchorman', we have a female reading the news in comparison to the typical anchorman.
However, the use of 'Anchorwoman' can be seen as typical. This is due to most news channel being dominated by 'Woman' such as BBC News. The mis-en-scene, as you can see below, of the news reader is similar to that of the news reader from 'Anchorman'. The brown suite is the most recognizable and the entire transition between Hollywood typical anchorman to low budget anchorwoman is perfect and entices the social group of females in a upper class society.
