1. HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT
REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL
GROUPS?
2. WHAT IS A SOCIAL GROUP?
A social group is a collection of
people who usually share the
same beliefs and values, having
something in common with each
other and therefore getting on well
as a group like structure.
3. DETECTIVE CRAWFORD
• Detective Crawford’s social group
is similar through Mise En Scene to
the Detective from Seven. The
detective in Sevens’ costume and
design is quite casual. This shows
his authority, dressing in everyday
clothing. Our detective is similar in
terms of clothing both wearing
black as a code of convention of a
thriller. The social group is
detectives, who are not very formal
showing their power.
4. JANE CRAWFORD
• The victims social group is the
Crawford's, being girlfriend to the
detective who is investigating the case
into the serial killer. The story changes
as it becomes very personal when the
girlfriend is included in the path of
obstruction which the serial killer
creates when he decides to target her.
I think this is a good ending because it
can lead well onto the story leaving it
on a cliff-hanger. The victim could be
compared to Shelly from Sin City as
they are both vulnerable and put in an
awkward situation which is hard to
react to.
5. ROMAN MORTEM
I would say that the villain of the
film is similar in regards that the
social group for murderer's would
predominantly wear black and
there face would not likely be
shown to the audience near till
near the end of the opening. This
creates a sense of mystery as the
identity of the villain is not
revealed till near the end. I would
compare the villain in my film to
the villain in Face Off as they both
wear black all the way through the
opening scene with little identity
being told.
