How does your media product represent particular social groups?
In our thriller we represent two social groups. The first being the detective who is middle aged, well dressed and is a symbolic embodiment of established society. For example we filmed the detective from low angles looking up to him, which have him an authoritative presence in the scene. The actor we have chosen has characteristic features of someone who is experienced and therefore competent in the role.
The other social group we feel we represented were adolescents who frequent a cheap diner at night. Also we felt it was important that we represented this group because they are significant to our age bracket and this would possibly help to encourage this social group into seeing and enjoying our production. We therefore styled the victim in a contemporary and casual manner. We also thought that our three characters each represented the typical roles of a thriller of ‘good’, ‘bad’ and the ‘victim’.
