1. How does your product
represent particular social
groups?

2. • As my opening sequence only has one
character there is only one social group
represented however the one character is
very in depth. For example, during the
sequence he picks up a photo of a
woman and a child with an emotional
face, this could be interpreted differently
by different audiences however some
may think that they are his wife and
child who he has had to leave. Therefore
this creates a Dad figure and introduces
the group of families.

3. • However he is living in a public area, which
clearly shows he is a homeless character or a
character on the run. Introducing the social group
of homeless people, spurring lots of questions
about how he ended up there. In conclusion there
is really only one social group represented within
my opening sequence and this is the character of
a young man, possibly with a family however
this is free to interpretation, some may think they
are previous victims.

4. • But histruepersonality shinesthrough hisbody

but ultimately boredom; further suggesting hehas

5. • I did not want to create an over the
top artificially stereotyped character,
as part of the mystery is due to the
character being able to be
interpreted differently by various
audiences. The Mise en scene shows
a lot about his living conditions with
his costume portraying his homeless
social status. As he is wearing dark
clothing, which are dirty and torn
suggesting he has been there for a
long time.

Looking at previousfilm charactersfrom Hancock and sniper, I noticed all of thecharactershavea
big coat and hat to keep warm showing they areliving outdoors. I tried to mimic thiswith my own
character, by ensuring that themiseen scenesuggestsheishomeless, by following thecommon
conventionsfrom previousfilms.
