How does your media product represent particular social groups
Peter Gatling
Evaluation
In the research stage we sent out a questionnaire to our target audience so that we were able to create a film opening accurate to what the audience wanted to see
Screen shot from blog
By doing this we felt that we were able to create an accurate representation of what the audience wanted to see without making the opening to predictable
Screen shot from Hammer
By paying close attention to the mis en scene of costumes we were able to create an accurate traditional representation males with the detective character. The suit connotes this character to be in a high position of power in the modern western world
Also by putting a lot of effort into the mis en scene of the murderer/army character we were able to create a accurate representation of a traditional male, defending his country and returning home to a loving family, or so our character thought…
Mis En Scene….
Camera…
By using camera shorts such as, low angles we were able to support the representations that we had connoted from the use of our mis en scene. As you can see here the low angle shot is supportive of our mis en scene suggesting that the character is in a high position of power
And by choosing not to show the murderers face we were able to follow the traditional conventions of killers, not knowing who they are therefore making them appear more intimidating
Editing… By carefully editing our media product we were able to create representations for certain characters
By creating a dark haze filter on the first scene involving the murder we were able to follow the conventional representations of killers, making them mysterious. Therefore representing males in negative forms such as violent
By using white flashes we were able to create the appearance of detectives in at the crime seen looking through the evidence and then painting a mental picture of the situation the happened. Connoting the typical representation of detectives in crime films
