HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS?

 

As in our film's opening title sequence it doesn't focus on a main character it is hard to determine how our media production represents particular social groups.
   In our title sequence it does show some shots of young people. We see a shot of a girls eye opening and shutting (we know it is a girl because she is wearing make-up) the shot is an extreme close up which is a connotation of a thriller. This shot could represent girls as being watchful they pick up on things. The reason we chose a extreme close up was so the audience would solely focus on the eye rather than the mise en scene around it. The extreme close up also suggests that the girl's eye is important which could represent women as being important, because it is also a long section of the media production is on the eye as we refer to it twice. The colour of the eye is also significant as it is bright green. Connotations of green is evil and jealousy. This could also represent females as being evil and jealous, but for what reasons are unknown.

     There is also a brief shot of a young male. The briefness of the shot could suggest or represent males as being less important because compared to the shot of the eye there is very little time allocated for the shot of the male. This shot is also in a grey scale filter which also contrasts with the shot of the eye as it was really bright and bold. This could also suggest/ represent males being less important.

There is also shots of young people walking through town which is repeated, it is unclear why they are being shown but it could suggest that they are more susceptible to danger and are more likely to be influenced to do things, but why is unknown. The shot is also based in a town which could suggest you are more likely to find young people in towns and cities.
