Our Final Opening Sequence

My Preliminary Sequence

Sunday, March 28, 2010

Evaluation Question 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The actress in our production looks to between the age of 18 and 21, which is within the age bracket of our target audience, so at once they will be able to relate with the protagonist, and also the situation she is in, walking drunkenly home from a late night out.

Females:

For once, in our opening sequence, the female is the protagonist, and the story is protrayed through the eyes of the victim not the hero . Merely switching these two roles around challenges what could be seen as quite a common done-before storyline. We did follow a lot of stereotypes of young women of that age group. Our film is about creating a REALISTIC, scary situation, so women watching it need to be able to relate.

She is:
- Girly-girl
- Heels and a dress
- Giggling as she stumbles drunkenly
- Smoking a cigarette
- Outgoing
- Fashionable


Our character is a lot like Effy from skins:

Males:

  •  Dark clothing, hood covering most of his face

  •  Intimidating

  •  Silent – doesn’t say anything that gives his character away

  •  Mysterious

  •  Intimidating
