social groups

Representing social groups


For our opening scene we are making our actors act a little older than what they are, also because we are having young adults as our main characters we cannot properly give a stereotypical look of them to make our social classes very obvious apart from branding and some mise-en-scene props.The way that we will be representing social groups in our opening scene will be through our film in film shot. Throughout our opening scene you will not be able to tell too much that the main characters used to be fairly wealthy, some viewers may be able to tell due to some of the clothing and props may be giving hints, for example sun glasses could give it away if there are brand names on them and perhaps bags if they look quite modern, etc. Our film will be set in the modern day due to the brands on pieces being visible and it will be nice to give the audience an idea of when the tragedy happened in the film. The audience will also see the social groups being presented very well when they watch our film in film. The film in film will show what life was like before the apocalypse. We will be paying a lot of attention to our mise-en-scene throughout this to make sure that what we are filming is very obvious and shows how wealthy and young the main characters were and show the closeness of the family perhaps, as I have mentioned in the character profiles how they are described as wealthy and young people.
