This document analyzes how a media product represents social groups through its characters and scenes. It describes several key moments: 1) A scene shows a government logo, establishing a spy is breaking in as part of a government plot. 2) A high-ranking official's suit indicates his social status. 3) The official recognizes the spy, showing they have a past relationship. 4) The official chases after the spy seriously but then calls his name, clarifying their connection to the audience. 5) A screenshot is compared to the film The Bourne Identity, showing similarities between the large, suppressed guns used by professional assassins.

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

2. • The audience recognise that this is a government plot when there is an over the
shoulder shot of the ‘ex-government employee’ looking at the laptop on the table.
Here we see a government logo. The spy that is breaking in is calm and knows what
he is doing as he is not rushing or conscious about what's going on around him when
he is getting equipment out of his bag. This shows that he is a professional and
suggests to the audience that if something goes wrong, he will be able to get out of
the problem.
• We know that this is a high ranking officers house due to the sharpe suit that we see
him in when he comes into the house. When he realises that someone has broken
into his house and sees him sitting at his laptop, he reaches for a rifle with the intent
to kill the person.
• You see a link between the high ranking officer and the ex-government employee as
when the officer gets a chance to shoot, this s the first time that he and the audience
see the spy's face, and as the officer notices who it is he lowers his gun. This
suggests to the audience that there is a relationship between the two.
• Then as the officer realises what he has done and is going to get away from him he
chases after him more seriously. As we see the POV shot of the spy running to the
end of the garden, we get a medium close up of the officer holding up the gun.
• At this point he calls the spy’s name (Nicholas). This clearly shows the audience that
thre is a relationship between the two character in the past.

3. This is a screen capture from the film ‘The Bourne Identity’
against a medium close up shot from our media product. As both
these films are action thrillers there is a clear similarity between
the two shots. Both of the guns used are similar in that they are
both large guns and both with suppressors. This shows that they
are not amateur assassins but professional gunmen with a high
ranking superiority in the government.
