Evaluation task 2
- 1. How does your product represent particular social groups?
- 2. What characters have you included in your film and what social groups do they represent? • The female characters in our opening represent young British teenage girls, of a lower-middle class who present an interest in hanging out with their friends and drinking at home whilst listening to music and taken selfies. • This is representative of the majority of teenage girls of this day and age, making our opening relatable to our target population.
- 3. • Our male character in our opening, represents a minority of teenage boys, he isn't a relatable character but this is our aim as he is the protagonist in the film so the aim is for the audience to dislike his character. • We dressed him in a way that you couldn’t see his face so the audience could not connect with him.
- 4. How have you constructed ideas about your character through mise en scene, camerawork, editing and sound? • We manipulated the audiences perception of the male character Ben by hiding hid face from the audience • However, with the female characters, we were sure to use a number of close-ups in our opening sequence as this allowed the audience to explicitly see how the characters were feeling • Editing also played a huge role in portraying ideas behind our characters, whenever Ben was seen on the screen, we used a flash effect to emphasize the tension to the audience • We represent the girls as middle class teenagers as the are dressed well and stereotypically to that gender at this time • The props used in the living room scenes where the girls are seen smoking and drinking, portrays an idea that they are slightly naughty and like to have fun
- 5. To what extent are your character representations typical of your film’s genre? • The characters in our film opening deviate from real life films of the same genre • It is typical in a film of this genre for women to be dressed in sexy and sometimes slightly revealing clothes and to be of an older age, however this did not work for our opening as the characters are younger and are dresses in clothes suited to their age group
- 6. In what ways do your representations reinforce or challenge social stereotypes? • Our opening sequence suggests that teenagers can be naïve about what dangers they can come across in day to day life situations, it portrays a message to the audience to be more aware of who you are spending your time with and to think carefully before doing anything that may effect others. • Our characters are represented well as stereotypes, especially the females as their language and actions around each other and the way they are represented visually is typical of females their age. • Ben is also represented as a social stereotype of a teenage boy he could be potentially dangerous to others within society.
