QUESTION 2: HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA
PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR
SOCIAL GROUPS?
By Angelique McGillivary
REPRESENTATION OF SOCIAL
GROUPS IN OUR FILM
Our media product represents different social groups in different ways. To begin, our film opening starts off with the
introduction of three young men (16+) that have been trapped in this facility/warehouse. The fact that the film opened
with the 3 men suggests that they were the main characters. The first shot of Daishon shows him as poised and calm.
This is stereotypical for the social group of ‘men’ because superiority and courage is one thing that is usually associated
with men. There is no movement in this shot which helps convey Daishon’s masculinity. Contradicting this stereotype, the
next two shots we used of the two other boys made them look inferior and defeated. The camera movement is slow, in
order for the audience to properly identify the two character’s emotions. The camera movement emphasises the
loneliness felt by both Fola and Irgel.
Next, all of our main characters are from ethnic minorities. It isn’t stereotypical for the main characters of films made in
the UK to be of ethnic descent but to be Caucasian and White British. However, our film was aimed at a niche audience
and is an independent film. Therefore we decided to implement actors from ethnic backgrounds as it would represent
equality amongst different ethnicities and allow our film to be multicultural. I believe this is beneficial to films in this day
and age because multiculturalism is something that we definitely promote in the UK and I believe that showing it in films
will allow for more people to view it as the norm.
We decided that throughout our film we would challenge stereotypes rather than follow them in order to make our film
captivating, enjoyable, unique and different!
