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.
