2) How does your media product represent particular social groups?


I'd definatley say our film was for the Sixth Formers rather than the younger students, as of course it was made and acted by sixth form students. However, I do believe that it could be for all years even teacher as it is quite fun when it comes to the teddy and the lipstick. The lipstick could appeal to the female audience. I would say that our film is a serious film with a funny edge, however I think that the film is partly positive and negative.
The costumes are smart to show that there is business going on between them and the gangster has a hat to go with the traditional gangster look. I guess our film could be bordering on a spoof. The Suitcase was our most important prop as it had to look like a business meeting. The gun was there to show that the ganster is dangerous, and the teddy was a bit of fun and the udea was taken from the James Bond movies. This would relate to the audience as many people have seen James Bond and gangter movies. We wanted the lighting the lighting to be semi dark as it need to look like a gangster would hid there, so we picked library stairs and the library storeroom. We found that the storeroom had a stream of light coming in which made the room look mysterious and dark as if it was under ground and out of sight. Perfect for a Gangsters hide-out! We left the room under tidy as if the gangster wouldn't be there for long and didn't need it to be humble. I guess the setting would be interesting for the studnets to see as the may go there a lot and recognise the setting. We choice to keep our shots and the action simple so that the audience could easily follow the film, and we wanted it to look like it was a begining to a film.
