Question 2 CONTINUED - How does your media product represent particular social groups

This is compared with a scene from "Saw." Our product tries to represent a young male with being unable to control his usual "tough/manly" characteristics when in danger. This was achieved mainly through directing the acting and emotions which the character showed and also partially the shots used. The close ups intensified his emotions. Similarities with how characters are represented here is firstly both look helpless because they are both tied up. Both seem in agony and stressed. Both are young males showing emotions which are uncommon for that type of social group.

Differences are that one male is without a top and the other is fully dressed. One also seems to be in much more in distress than the other which shows the difference in peoples emotions and reactions to being in a helpless situation.

Question 2 - How does your media product represent particular social groups

I chose to compare this scene with the scene from Saw 3 where Amanda has her mouth tied. Both you could say are young people. They are represented to be young, in fear for their lives and helpless. One similarity is that both people are restricted from using there mouths whilst they are in danger. Another similarity is that both scenes used extreme close ups to show the true extent of emotions. Another is that they are both in a dangerous situation and under threat. Amanda is represented as a normal young woman and just an unlucky victim just like in our one.

One difference is that one is played by a male and the other a female. Another difference is that the one from Saw was shot indoors whereas ours was outdoors in the woods.

Evaluation Question 1 CONTINUED - Comparing (2nd part)

I chose to compare our title sequence to "A kiss from Tokyo." This film is slightly similar to our in that it involves an aggressive woman. However this is an animated film so the similarities stop there. The opening sequence shares some similarities too though with similar colours used. The red font is used here and also used in our one. This gives it that feminine/evil/romantic side. The font for the main title is quite informal but unique whereas ours was formal. However the smaller titles did share some similarities in that the font used was formal and clear just like ours. The title sequence developed the forms and conventions. This is also shown in ours where there is another similarity in that we both start with the production company. Also the shots used were close up and detailed to show the character well. We both focused on the feminine side with close ups to feminine features and also with the mise en scene. For example we both had a shot of the red heels whilst the girl is walking. We also both had close ups of the girls eyes to show the evil emotion within women. The order of the sequence was also similar and this basically followed the norms of a title sequence.
