2. Social Groups
• A group of people who interact with each other and
are aware of having something in common.
• A social group has been defined as two or more
people who interact with one another, share similar
characteristics and collectively have a sense of unity.
• Examples of social groups are
• Chavs
• Goths
• Teachers
• Detective’s
3. Characters In Our Film
• There are 4 different characters in our film, these are
a Detective named “Detective Crawford”, his
girlfriend, “Jane Crawford” who is the victim who
gets murdered. The murderer is called “Roman” who
is a serial killer. The detectives worker who tells the
Detective about the murder.
• The 4 different characters all represent and link to
different social groups.
4. Detective Crawford
• Detective Crawford will link in with the social group
of police workers and detectives themselves. These
workers will be higher up and have more power in
the hierarchy. In films there is always a detective that
takes control of the situation and try’s to figure out
the dilemma. This will make the audience feel
involved in the film and if they can relate to it,
therefore they will be interested in watching the rest
of the film as they feel as if they are there and not
watching a movie.
5. Detective Crawford
Detective Crawford is representing the social group of
police workers and detectives themselves. In the film
“Se7en” there Detective is very similar to the character
in our opening, their girlfriends have been murdered.
Parts of the narrative are the same as well as the genre
of the film. The clothing of the actors are the same,
however cannot see in this image.
The white shirt shows the type of job the character
has and Mise-en-scene gives a lot of information to
the audience. The gender of the characters are the
same which is another similarity with the thriller
“se7en”.
6. Jane Crawford
• Jane Crawford will link in with the social group of
vulnerable women victims. The people in this social
group will not have a lot of power and feel as if they
are/was in danger. With Jane being an easy target and
her weakness has been used against her the audience
can relate to the film which will make them want to
continue watching and mean they have a connection
with the film.
7. Jane Crawford
Jane Crawford is similar to Shellie, from Sin City, due to the
fact they are both vulnerable women that are in the eye-line
of being attacked.
Shellie and Jane are both seen in Black and White, which is a
thriller code and convention, however it shows the Audience
how Jane and Shellie are seen the same.
The clothing between Jane and Shellie are different
however they are both the same gender which is a
similarity from the thriller Sin City.
Shellie represents a social group of woman victims, this
social group is also represented in our opening by Jane
Crawford.
8. Roman Mortem
• Roman Mortem being the murderer in the film, this
will link in with the social group of criminals.
Criminals commit crimes everyday so therefore this
film will link in with peoples daily lives and the
world around them. The audience will be interested in
the film and thrilled as the Roman commits such a
serious crime.
9. Roman Mortem
Roman Mortem is one of the main characters in the
opening, with him being a murderer he is seen as a
villain and evil. The film Face Off has a character called
Castor Troy who is a murderer and is not liked by many
people. Both characters are dressed smartly and both
posses a gun. The two characters have the same profile
which shows our opening links in with a thriller film.
As Caster Troy represents a social group of
criminals, it shows how Roman Mortem also
represents the same social group as the
characters are the same and have the same
characteristics.
10. Detectives Worker
• The detectives worker doesn’t have a main part in the
film however he is very important and his job has a
lot of reliability. This links in with the social group of
police officers. Just like the “Detective Crawford”
social group the workers will be higher up and have
more power in the hierarchy.
11. Detectives Worker
Detectives worker is similar to the
character Martin Hart, they are both
representing the social group of
police and detective workers. The
clothing of the two characters are the
same which shows the similarities
between the two.
