Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups? On photoshop cut and paste a character from your opening sequence and one from a real opening sequence that you think has similar representational issues. Compare and contrast.

Our media product represents particular social groups through the use of character situations and costumes. for example in our opening sequence we have a man who is having flash backs of his past experience in the armed forces. Our main character is male, our reason for this is that it is a stereotypical way in which the armed forces relate to men unlike woman. To present our character we have used character costumes and props to introduce realism to our sequence. we have based our main character around a typical soldier in the armed forces who has experienced the life in a war zone and has fought through the battle of dealing with a death of someone he knew and worked with. we hear about the deaths of our British soldiers all the time in the news however, most people don't realise the effect it has on the soldiers that witness the deaths of their colleagues.
