Question 2- how dose your media product represent particular social groups ?
1. The social group that i wanted to represent with my independent film is the youth young and old and women . As i wanted to make people aware of the crime that is going on around us and that we are not realizing such as trafficking what is happening around us that could also happen to us . Also as a waring and a wake up call that women should be careful as they are the most trafficked gender .
Also crime to show a different type of crime that is not well known so that people can be more aware.
How have you represented your chosen social group ?
I have used actors there age to represent them and show them how easy it is for it to happen to them . Also the victim in my film is a women that represents vulnerability as they are an easy target for traffickers.
How have you used mas-en-scene to create this representation ?
I have dressed the victim in casual clothing in order for the audience to understand it can happen to anybody .
I have dressed her in simple clothes jeans with a white top to indicate she is the innocent one she also wears her hair down to show her femininity. As well the murderer/ trafficker is wearing black to indicate that there the villein and they wear a hood that hides there face so that there identity stays a mystery.
what meaning have you created ?
I have created meaning such as panic because I wanted to make people aware of the trafficking problem such as people being taken and killed for there organs. So I have kept to natural lighting during filming so that it looks real and more likely to happen because shes on her own in the forest . Also I have created meaning using shadows in the forest by filming in areas that have a lot of forestation and trees so that I had use of negative space .
how dose it compare to existing representations in the media?
it compares to existing representations by using a simple plot that is used mostly in crime films such as kid nap and the film taken is a good example of it. also the way the actors are portrayed are represented like most films as well such as the victim is men to be helpless and vinrable and that is exactly what she is .Also the murderer in trafficked hides his identity so the audience wonders which is what you expect when you see a crime film or some times you are introduced to them at the start but then the film would be based around the murderer my prelim is based around the victims and the private eye. a good example of a film like this is taken again.
