section Summary
 
 
A filmmaker’s ultimate role is to properly present images in sequence that tell a story and/or conveys a message or several of them therefore. With various imagery tools, movies present a message in a way that makes them seem natural and fitting for the context that it is presented in. Whether it’s a horror movie, documentary or educational film, the media gives us ways of imagining particular groups, identities and situations. This is most often defined as a stereotype.
