Question 2
How Does Your Media Product Represent Different Social Groups?
When it comes to our final Opening Title Sequence we had a very small cast of one main character and the occasional extra in the background. In our Opening Title Sequence, our main character was a young male with a smaller and skinny build. This was because in Horror films, stereotypically, smaller people have a more difficult time and are usually portrayed as weaker characters and the one who are in danger rather than the larger more well built characters who are casted. Despite the fact our main character is a male who stereotypically portrayed as the stronger characters in films of all types, the smaller body type helps us to conform to a that different stereotype instead. The main character in our Opening Title Sequence is of a middle class citizen as shown through the clothing we have chosen for this character to wear. The clothing the character has been selected to wear is the typical set of t-shirt and jeans, however the particular set selected makes the character not look stereotypically like a lower class citizen as the clothing is still generally tidy and aesthetically pleasing. The colourisation of the clothing is very colourful instead of the dark colours normally associated with the lower class.
