The social groups that are represent in my opening
sequence are many.
The fact that two of the main protagonists are lawyer, this
would tell us that they are part of a high working class, as
they “stereotypically” have a well-paid and respected job.
The opening sequence also represent s people from a
different race group as we can clearly see that both the
wpm and the men are from a different background and also
the shooter, which we cannot see the face, looks like
someone from a different background from the other two.
Another social group that have been represented in my
opening sequence are people with different genders but,
approximately, with the same age.
The Wrong Case opening sequence represents gender in a very
subversive way. This is because we can clearly see in different
occasions that the female character is in charge or even superior
to the male character.
In more details, we can clearly see that the male character is
being represented as the weaker character compared to the
women during the dialogue scene. This is because, thanks to the
shot reverse shot, we could see the facial expression and
reaction of the male character as he was talking to his
subordinate lawyer, we could see that the male character was
afraid and intimidated by the women that was standing in front of
him. I also believe that the fact the male character had to walk in
the female office indicated superiority, as the male character
went to speak with her without calling her to his office as it would
be more likely for a boss to act to their employees.
In the shooting scene, the subversive stereotype of a women is
being emphasised as the camerawork underlines the gender of
the character, as it zooms in to her sky-high heels, before
pointing the gun towards the lawyer and represent the power she
exercise towards the male character, clearly terrified of her.
This links to the target audience because,
our general though of the target audience
was that the movie was going to be more
likely seen by male between 15-18.
However, I believe that the fact that the
opening sequence subverts the stereotypical
view of gender, as the men dominant and
women passive, will attract those female
audience that are ready to challenge the
representation of gender that it is normally in
movies of this genre.
The opening sequence introduces three different characters.
Finally, we meet the “shooter”, Charlotte, even though
we cannot see her face. From what we can see of her
during the opening sequence the characters is being
introduced as a scary and powerful women, as she is
the one with the weapon.
Secondly, we meet the lawyer’s boss, Saroop, when he
congratulates at first when he greets the lawyer. However, the
character is better introduced when he has the dialogue with
the lawyer and from there we can better see what kind of
character he is. We can clearly see that he wears a formal
suit and that makes him professional and respected. The
character is also seen as afraid and weak as we can feel his
fear and frustration during his conversation with the lawyer.
Firstly, from the first scene we meet the lawyer, me, who is
the main protagonist of the movie, we can see from the
clothes that she is wearing that she is has a well-paid and
respected job, in fact she is a lawyer. Throughout the opening
sequence we can see some mysterious things which would
make us believe that she is a spy, such as the suspicious
email sent and the phone conversation in another language.
