2. Our characters were of shared background and were both represented as young,
white collar, male, office workers in the classification of C1 on the socio-economic
scale.

3. We focused on meeting this criteria mainly with costumes, the white shirts and
ties with trousers and black shoes connotes to what their profession is and
pairs them together as friends, giving them a relationship. Their body
language shows them to be laid back and friendly, along with the dialogue
they partake in, although this device changes drastically once Mitch finds the
letter.

4. Mitch becomes a countertype for who we have presented him to be, an accepted
member of society with a respectable job, when it is revealed that he has a secret
he is extremely afraid to reveal. This has been done to add to the mystery
conventions of thriller films as it is not what the audience will expect.
The use of a negative countertype may
dissuade audience members due to offence
but it was done through no means to
personally offend, and I believe that the lack
of verisimilitude would give off an
impersonal tone that would make others
unable to connect the film to their own life. I
don't believe that there was a need to treat
the group fairly and it would have detracted
from the action that we were trying to build.

5. From our audience feedback, we feel as if we were quite successful in obviously
representing the group.
