Task 2-How does your product represent particular social groups?

The main social group represented by our thriller are criminals. Criminals are represented by the character 'Randell Meritt' who is the potential villian in our film:


The picture on the left is a screen grab from our sequance and the photo on the right is a shot of Ted Bundy who was the first human to have the term serial killer applied to them. Our film does not represent 'Randall' as a two dimentional character who is similar to Bundy in the way in which he has no chance of redemption.


The Governor in this film represents the older upper class of society this can be seen through the way that he is dressed in a smart suit. Along with the Gaurds they can be seen as figures of authority are are portraied in a positive light.


The methords we used to portray this character in a positive light was to shoot him from below and therefore immediately put us in an almost child like position and are therefore forced to look up to him, both physically and psycologically.We also dressed him in white so that he stands out against the dark background of the rest of the set. This portrays him as a righteous and almost angelic character. This makes the act of murder that is going to be commited justified and makes it seem like the right thing to do.


The young girl in the film (Laura Bell) represents the younger generation of society (young girl) but potentially represents the 'heroin' in this film.

She was portaied as a positive character and the way in which this we did this was to light the room in order to give a warm feel to the room which when combined with the previous sequance feels more relatable as we are more used to seeing films in this colour format rather than the sepia tint of the first half which allows us to relate to her portraying her in a more positive light.
