Part 5 - How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Camera, Angle, Shot Movement and Position
This is a two shot. I think that having this shot at this point is good as we see both characters and there emotions. I think that the audience at this point will begin to understand the characters automatically as they can relate to these types of situations, because these are two common people in the society that we live in. I think that it follows the stereotype of the people that would watch it because they would be people interested in violence as I found out when doing my vox pops, and they may even be violent themselves, or experienced it themself.
Editing
During editing we used many techniques to make it look as effective as possible. As we had two main characters, we decided to cut from one character to another. This is because we thought it would be good showing both things happening at the same time, so the audience are aware immediately that they are the two main characters and this is part of there daily routine. When editing we had the cuts from the man to the girl fade into it, but from the girl to the man it was immediate. I think this was very effective as cutting quickly, made us see the mans personality and with the fade I think it showed the girls innocence. With the audience seeing this I think they would definitely feel the same as that because that was the aim.
Sound The sound used over the top of our opening sequence, is a piano playing. We chose this because we thought it made the whole thing seem a lot more depressing, rather than upbeat and feisty I think that the audience would feel more drawn in to this and possibly understand that the film wont involve ant excitement, which would result in them wanting know to know what actually will happen.
Mise-en-Scene
In this shot you can see the mise-en-scene and what the character is wearing and her bag. the bag is a JD Sports bag, and she is wearing all navy and black. This is what I think the audience would wear, and in my post, 'Meet my Audience,' I wrote that the audience would probably shop in shops such as JD Sports. So by having the character wear a JD Sports bag, it reflects back on what I had already researched. The fact that they would dress similar to this, if they were both male or female, I think it is more relatable, that if she was going to work formally dressed and perfect hair and make up.
Expressionism (lighting, colour)
In this shot, we can see that the lighting is dull, and the colours in the colour pallette is dark shades of blues and browns. I think that the audience would relate to this as they would most likely, typically dress in dark colours themselves, and live in conditions that are less homely. I think this follows the stereotypes of people in BSR films and the typical audience. I think that if the lighting in the room was brighter then it would of taken the whole effect away as the audience could potentially of thought that the girl is late for work, but the atmosphere would be different, it would seem like shes got a good perfect job and his happy with the way her life is going.
Typography
This was the typography that we used. We thought that it looked good, and suited the themes and situations, as it is bold and stands out, but also slightly bland, as the life of the characters with in the film, are boring and live depressed draining lives. I think our audience would probably be living this type of life style as well, so I think the typography was good for the audience.
