How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Representation of Gangsters

• In our opening the black clothes of the shooter(Shaun) represents the evilness of his character this is normally shown in criminals seeing as thy often have sinister agendas. Gangsters also aim to be hidden, as a result of this they normally tend to wear black/ dark clothes which blends in with the blackness of the night
• Most Gangster movies are set in a night-time setting, This is typical of a Gangster film because most crimes happen at night-time and being dark in the opening scene gives the characters be dark, evil, sinister feel about them
• A typical Ganster  opening shows a seedy, intimidating area - this is because this type of area is a typical hang out for Gansters

Representation of women:

• High heels signifies the sex the appeal of women through lengthening the legs - one of the most attractive parts of a woman
• Bare legs have a similar effect as the heels as it draws attention to the woman's legs and the bareness of them creates a sexual appeal
• The colour Red resembles passion and boldness it will show this on the woman and it will make the character stand out this will make her a point of focus during the opening.

• Operatic music is typically associated with gangsters so we have put a certain background music in our opening to give the audience a feel for the type of film and our will persuad the audience to believe the character is going to be evil in some sort of way.
• The fact the character carries a gun shows that he is Gangster/evil
