1. How does your media product
represent certain social groups.
WHAT IS REPRESENTATION?
Representation is how a person or a group as well as many other things are
perceived and presented by the media product showcasing this certain thing.
In regards to social groups a good example would be a religious one, for
example if the film where to be revolving around Christian themes the film
would probably ‘represent’ by showing stills of churches and priests. Other
social groups looked at are gangsters, serial killer both these are very easily
portrayed and represented

2. An average Joe.
Our film opens with a man perceived to be just an average pedestrian on his
way home, he is classed as a middle class person. Our pre determined profile
of this man is that he is a primary school teacher the costume is appropriate
as it is not too smart but not too casual. As he gets closer to his house he is
having a phone conversation with his daughter the way he speaks shows he is
well spoken and shows he is a man of family. The lighting is light and
simplistic as is the location being a mundane suburban house

3. ‘Satans’ Worshipper’
As the audience are now comfortable with the character and are probably
relaxed due to the mise en scene it gives us the opportunity to shock them even
more, this happens when he enters the house. When he enters the house
everything changes this is where we are introduced to the dark, insane character
which could be placed under the social group of a ‘Satanist’. When he enters the
lighting becomes dark emphasising on his dark persona. Dark ominous music is
introduced to cause tension, the music is orchestral which could connote the
characters intellectual music taste. Using the setting we tried to showcase the
characters evil side as much as we could we did this by using the setting,
smearing blood on the table, making him kiss the satanic bible and dressing him
in a scary black robe all this breeds negativity. I believe the contrast in characters
in his split life is very effective on the audience and is a very strong asset to our
film.
