EVALUATION 2AS MEDIA STUDIES

EVALUATION 2WITHIN THE FINISHED PRODUCT OF THE OPENING SCENE I HAVE REPRESENTED A SOCIAL GROUP THROUGH THE DISPLAY OFF ALL THREE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS WITHIN THE OPENING SCENE. ALL THREE OF THEM HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED IN CLASS, AGE, GENDER AND ETHNICITY (CAGE).

THE INTENDED TARGET MARKET FOR THE OVERALL FINISHED FEATURE WILL STEREOTYPICALLY BE MALES WHO APPEAL TO THE ACTION GENRE – THRILLER GENRE AND WILL APPROXIMATELY BE AROUND THE AGE OF 12 – 25.

EVALUATION 2THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT TYPICALLY MALES WILL BE ABLE TO AFFORD A CINEMA TICKET TO GO AND SEE THE FEATURE AND ALSO DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY WILL BE A MAJORITY OF WORKING CLASS CITIZENS. THESE ARE VARIOUS DIFFERENT METHODS OF REPRESENTING SOCIAL GROUPS IN AN OPENING SCENE BUT IN THIS CASE WE USED MISE-EN-SCENE.

THE SETTING OF WHICH THE THREE MALE CHARACTERS IS VERY CLEAN, TIDY AND PROFESSIONAL LOOKING ENVIRONMENT WHICH CONNOTES THAT THE CHARACTERS ARE OF A WORKING CLASS BACKGROUND AND ARE PROFESSIONAL IN THEIR WORK.

EVALUATION 2WE DECIDED TO USE ENTIRELY MALE CHARACTERS WITHIN THE OPENING SCENE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ACTION – GENRE IS ALMOST ENTIRELY DOMINATED BY MALES WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS INCLUDING ACTRESSES SUCH AS ANGELINA JOLIE AND SCARLET JOHANSEN. THIS WOULD MAKE THE OPENING SCENE FOLLOW THE AUDIENCES EXPECTATIONS AND INCREASE THE OVERALL SUCCESS OF THE FEATURE. THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE AUDIENCE IS IMPORTANT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE AUDIENCE MAY BECOME UPSET IF THE FEATURE DOESN'T’T FOLLOW CERTAIN EXPECTATION AND STEREOTYPES WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE OVERALL FEATURE FAILING.

EVALUATION 2

ONE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS WHOM IS FEATURED WITHIN THE MAJORITY OF THE SHOTS IS DRESSED IN A NAVY BLUE BOMBER JACKET AND OLD TRENCH STYLE PANTS WHICH ALLOWS THE AUDIENCE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE CHARACTER IS OF A WORKING CLASS BACKGROUND YET IS WITHIN THE MILITARY BY PROFESSION. THE SECOND CHARACTERS LAIDBACK HAIRSTYLE PRESENTS A YOUNG AND PROFFESIONAL.
