The document discusses how the opening sequence of a product represents one main social group - that of a homeless man. The character is depicted picking up a photo that could represent a family he has left behind, picking up on themes of fatherhood and family. However, he is shown living in a public area, suggesting he is homeless or on the run. The character's costume of dirty, torn dark clothing and body language of sadness and depression further suggests he has been homeless for a long time and fits into the social group of homeless people.

1. How does your product
represent particular social
groups?

2. • As my opening sequence only has one
character there is only one social group
represented however the one character is
very in depth. For example, during the
sequence he picks up a photo of a
woman and a child with an emotional
face, this could be interpreted differently
by different audiences however some
may think that they are his wife and
child who he has had to leave. Therefore
this creates a Dad figure and introduces
the group of families.

3. • However he is living in a public area, which
clearly shows he is a homeless character or a
character on the run. Introducing the social group
of homeless people, spurring lots of questions
about how he ended up there. In conclusion there
is really only one social group represented within
my opening sequence and this is the character of
a young man, possibly with a family however
this is free to interpretation, some may think they
are previous victims.

4. • I did not want to create an over the
top artificially stereotyped character,
as part of the mystery is due to the
character being able to be
interpreted differently by various
audiences. His costume shows a lot
about his living conditions and
portrays his homeless social status.
As he is wearing dark clothing,
which are dirty and torn suggesting
hehasbeen therefor along time.
