Evaluation Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Social grups of the characters are not clearly shown as we wanted to create a sense of mystery withn the audience as they don't know the characters personally yet. The audience would associate the antogonist to associate with a criminal social group as he's actions with the gun and the costume suggests this. The location also suggests that the antagonist is of a working class background as a motor garage is associated with manual labour. The protagonist's social group is not particularly revealed although it is apparent to the audience that she is young and is an ordinary citizen as her actions pictate that of someone is not accostomed to criminal acts.

Our media product represents social economic groups that are E. Although the antogonists social class is revealed within the film, it is unknown to audience what it is at this point. Social class E is represented in the protagonist by the use of mise-en-scene and actress herself. The actress looks between the age of 18-21 which is usually the age for people to become university students this instantly relates to the audience as these age groups our included in our target audience. The clothing is a style that younger people wear as if something they would wear on a night out which then states the minimum age that she could be which is 18 which furthers the social economic group E.

A different kind of representation is shown within our opening sequence as gender is compared through it. Struggle of the two genders is suggested in the opening sequence as we stick to the stereotype of the female being vunerable and the male being in power and control over the female. We soon create a twist in the storyline with this as we then go against the stereotype giving the female the upper hand and showing that she is not as fragile as originally pictated.
