2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In our film opening Sam represented the role of a normal person. We show this by clothes that he wears; being average casual clothes and the environment he is in. Sam, who plays the protagonist in our opening, is in a typical living room sitting down watching the television. This represents everyday lives of the normal person. Jacob, who played the role of the Villain in our opening, wears dark clothing and his identity is never revealed adding to mystery. He represents someone possibly associated with death as he is wearing a hooded jacket, suggesting the grim reaper.

The use of props shows representation throughout the opening to out media product. The red rope connotes blood and death. We used a sack to cover over the victim’s face which represents an air of mystery to what is happening. Around the setting that we used for our media product, we see various sharp objects and heavy machinery representing possibly a plot for something big or the objects simply add to the sinister atmosphere.
