The document summarizes how social groups are represented in a thriller movie. It describes how young naive teenagers and gangsters/criminals portrayed as antagonists. It also explains how two antagonists are shown through their body language, speech, and props like guns to represent them as holding a man against his will. Camera angles are used to make one character seem small and powerless compared to the antagonists in a position of power.

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

2.  Social groups represented throughout my thriller
movie are; young/naive teenagers,
gangsters/criminals- ‘antagonists’, the people you
shouldn’t get involved/associate with.
 As the antagonists are seen to be dressed in nice,
respectable clothes we set this up for the
audience to think that further on in the film before
this scene occurred, they would of fooled the
outside world as they do not look suspicious and
not making themselves stand out or well known,
important with what they needed to carry out (the
kidnapping and torturing).
What social groups are
being represented?

3. Who and what are being represented
and how?
 Two antagonists are being represented, through their body
language, speech and props (carrying guns), they are clearly
being represented as antagonists as they are clearly holding
the other man against his will and pushing him around, until he
reveals what they need.
 Also in order to not ruin and give away the whole narrative we
decided to make it unclear as to whether ‘Christopher’ the
man being held and tortured was an antagonist as well and
been in the wrong and deserved what he was getting or if he
was a protagonist and innocent.
 Our characters were also represented through camera angles
and shots also. We tried to include a lot of high angle shots for
‘Christopher’ to seem small, and powerless and the other two
antagonists in a high position of power with varied and low
angle shots.
