1. HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS?
RACHEL HAILEY

2. What is a social group?
A social group is a collection of
people who interact with each
other and share similar
characteristics and a sense of
unity.
Social groups can be defined by:
• Gender
• Sexuality
• Hobbies
• Race
• Occupation

3. Unfaithful fiancé
Cheaters are often narcissists Cheaters are very good liars
Cheaters are typically very jealous
We have represented a social group of unfaithful
people with this character. We got inspiration from
Castor Troy from FaceOff, as he cheats on his
girlfriend.
Harj is dressed in black
clothing to add mystery to his
character, as it does not tell
you a lot about him, much like
Castor Troy.
In FaceOff, Castor Troy is very sly, so his girlfriend would not know what he was getting up to behind
closed doors. We decided to use this character trait for Harj's character as well because it makes the
audience dislike the character.
A lot of long shots are used
for both Harj's character and
Castor Troy. Rule of thirds
are used to make the
characters the focus of the
screen, further showing that
they are dominating
characters.

4. Alex Forrest ­ Fatal Attraction
The Mistress
Sly False
Promiscuous Two faced
In Fatal Attraction, Alex
appeared sweet and
innocent, yet had a very
psycho side to her. We
showed the psycho side to
our mistress at the end of
our opening, when she
stabs the fiancée.
We chose to dress the
Mistress in a provocative
way to tell the audience
more about her character.
In Fatal Attraction, Alex
also dresses in provocative
way, so we got inspiration
from this character.
Alex wants to kill her
lovers family so that
she can have him all
to herself.
Low angles are used a lot for
both Alex and The Mistress to
show power and dominance.
When talking to the
Fiancée, straight
angles are used to
suggest that both the
Mistress and the
Fiancée are on the
same level, however
as the flashbacks
continue throughout
the opening,we know
that the Mistress is
hiding a lot and is not
as sweet and innocent
as she makes out to
be.

5. Fiancée
We took inspiration from The Bride (played by
Uma Thurman) from Kill Bill, because the bride's
clothes suggest that she was supposed to be
getting married, like my character.
Kill Bill is about The Bride getting revenge, which is
what my character seeks to do by the end of our
thriller opening.
We dressed my
character in natural,
everyday clothing, as I
was meant to be seen
as a working class
woman, because in
thrillers, extraordinary
things happen to
ordinary people.
High angles were used for both characters so show how weak and
vulnerable they are.
These high angles further helped to capture the Fiancée's innocence,
shown through both dialogue and facial expressions.
Both character's have been wronged by their man and faced near death experiences, so they now
seek revenge.
