Social groups are groups within society that share some form of social relation, some of the relations include

• Gender • Age • Class/status

Social Groups

Page 2: Question 2 media

Class and StatusThe way in which class and status is represented in my film is through the use of mise-en-scene, both the male and female roles are wearing clothing adequate to the middle/upper class. The male lead is wearing a black and white suit, this is stereotypical of a businessman that works within the inner city, it is also stereotypical clothing of a hit-man, meaning that the lead male role could be a social representation of males who live two different lives, one being public and one being secretive, however not to the same extreme as Reece Savage. The female lead is wearing black white and red, the black and white is also a representation of the upper/middle class but the red adds a sense of danger and a working class past, so the attire on this character could be a social representation of the women that have come from a working class background and have made it to higher and more respected grounds.

Age Both the male and female lead within the film are in their early 20's, we have chosen this specific age bracket as we feel the actions taken and the emotions portrayed by both characters are a perfect representation of modern society as a whole. In addition to this both have a young and hip look to them, meaning that a lot of the target audience will be able to relate to them as one segment of the audience we are targeting are the young and hip.

Feminism • We feel as if the female character within our film is an ideal and

perfect representation of a strong modern feminist. She is portrayed as a strong, independent and attractive woman who has taken up the role of an assassin, this challenges societies conventions as most people think of men in relation to assassins. We feel that by importing a female as an assassin we are not only challenging conventions but we are expanding our target audience to the female gender as equality is shown within the film. Also the female lead throws a rose on Smith once he has been killed, a rose is seen as symbolism to feminism. However there are segments from the film that show that the male role is still dominant, for instance the male is both the driver and the killer.
