PowerPoint answering Question 2 for our media product evaluation

1. 2. HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA
PRODUCT REPRESENT
PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS?
BY NATHAN GILBERT

2. WHAT SOCIAL GROUPS DOES OUR FILM REPRESENT?
• Our film represents three different social groups, these
groups include alcoholics, police and adults

3. HOW DOES OUR FILM REPRESENT EACH SOCIAL
GROUP?
• Alcoholics
- Our film represents alcoholics as the main character in the film
Detective Parker is an alcoholic police detective, who due to his
obsessive drinking, detective parker struggles to keep and maintain his
job and status let alone his on life. This is due to the psychological
problems detective parker faces, which can represent reasons for why
people start drinking and eventually become alcoholics.
- I know alcoholic are not usually considered a social group however
they do belong to a social group that are mostly associated with drug
users and people who take part in minor crimes, i.e. low life's or
miscreants.

4. HOW DOES OUR FILM REPRESENT EACH SOCIAL
GROUP?
• Police
- Police are represented in our film because two of the
characters are members of their local police force, one
recently mentioned Detective Parker and another who is
just a side character.
- The police are mainly represented through the side
character who calls up Detective Parker to inform him of a
new case, this is because the character is very formal and
follows orders and protocol like other police officers
despite detective parkers feudal attempts to sarcastically
get out of going in.

5. HOW DOES OUR FILM REPRESENT EACH SOCIAL
GROUP?
• Adults
- Our film product represents adults as the main characters are adults
although the actors playing the are teenagers portraying adults.
- Our characters represent adults in many ways some examples of these
are how the characters are dressed, the characters costumes especially
the police caller are very well dressed in shirt and tie and other formal
wear including fedoras and waist coats. Another way the characters
represent adults is through the way our actors vocally present their
characters as Callum who plays detective Parker is very laid back lazy
and extremely sarcastic, which can be seen in American adults
behaviour, where as the police call played by Cameron represents the
seriousness and classy speech tone of a Englishman.
