How does your media product represent particular social groups ?
I think that our thriller represented the social group of ; drug dealers.
Our social group relates back to when we studied age while doing the TV drama unit.
- Ian - High status - dressed in a suit with a briefcase ( business man ), Looks much older due to his dress sense, Ethnicity - White
- Orrie&Sophie - Lower class - dressed in provocative clothing, In a crack house, Looks much younger because of the clothes worn & the way Orrie acts stroppy when being pushed away,Ethnicity - Sophie - White - Orrie - Mixed race.
- Luke - lower class ( drug dealer ) casually dressed, Young (wearing a hat) , Ethnicity - White
The representation of Ian is complex and more negative because he looks Upper class as he's in a suit and wearing smart shoes, However he is on his way to do something mysterious which the viewer establishes is going to get some drugs.
The representation of Orrie & Sophie is Negative, The viewer is easily able to interpret what sort of girls they are being portrayed as due to the clothing worn and the way they act, Needy lower classed girls.
The representation of Luke is Negative, He is a drug dealer and in casual clothing an a hat.We are able to recognise what is character is as he is sorting out the drugs.
Lighting - Ian is filmed in brighter lighting which portrays everyday, normal life as people are dressed smartly when they go to work, Gradually the lighting gets a bit darker as we realise he is going to do some suspicious business
Luke , Sophie and Orrie filmed in a dark lighting to illustrate the darkness of the situation as its illegal.
Mise en scene - Ian filmed near jewellery stores , dressed in smart clothing , props such as briefcase and cigarettes normalises his character.
Orrie and Sophie dressed in revealing clothing's , filmed in a small dark crack house
Camera - orrie and Sophie filmed with higher angles to show they are less important where as Luke and Ian have many close ups and full shots as they are vital characters
