How does your media product represent particular social
groups? I am going to focus on one of the main characters from the
Craig McDermott is a
psychopath and this is
because of the trauma he
has been through in his life
which has had a big effect
on him.
Looking at the costumes,
they are very similar in
terms of what they are
wearing. Both characters
are wearing a jacket, shirt
and trousers with practical
shoes on. However, there
are time differences whilst
comparing the two
characters as The Lovely
Bones is set in the 1970’s
and our film opening is set
in 2013. However I think
that the costumes are very
significant as they appear
normal and would not
trigger any alarms in other
characters head and
therefore the characters
appear normal, even though
they have psychological
issues.

film opening and compare with other film characters which
represent a social group.

There is a huge difference
between these two
characters however,
although both characters
are psychopaths, one
character (Craig) has been
a victim of death whereas
Mr. Harvey has killed and
sexually assaulted others.

Craig is similar to Mr.
Harvey who stars in The
Lovely Bones who is
also a psychopath, he
ends up killing young
girls.
In some of our shots, we
have made Craig appear
powerless and vulnerable
as he has been a victim
and we wanted the
audience to empathise
with the character in
some way. We have used
some over head shots
and angles to achieve
this.
We wanted the shot to seem
mysterious and un-easy as we feel
that this is the kind of feeling that
most people experience whilst
watching a psycho thriller and it’s
what an audience want to experience
whilst watching a psycho thriller, so
we used the mis-en-scene to do this.

We used the music in our opening sequence to set
the mood of our psychological thriller, we have
looked at other thrillers and have found that this is
important to get right. We have used a piano to
create a mood for the audience and really
emphasise on the social group I have explained. I
feel that the music does not give too much away
