GROUPS?

WHAT IS A SOCIAL GROUP?

A social group is a collection of people who usually share the same beliefs and values, having something in common with each other and therefore getting on well as a group like structure.

DETECTIVE CRAWFORD

• Detective Crawford’s social group is similar through Mise En Scene to the Detective from Seven. The detective in Sevens’ costume and design is quite casual. This shows his authority, dressing in everyday clothing. Our detective is similar in terms of clothing both wearing black as a code of convention of a thriller.

JANE CRAWFORD

• The victims social group is the Crawford's, being girlfriend to the detective who is investigating the case into the serial killer. The story changes as it becomes very personal when the girlfriend is included in the path of obstruction which the serial killer creates when he decides to target her. I think this is a good ending because it can lead well onto the story leaving it on a cliff-hanger. The victim could be compared to Shelly from Sin City as they are both vulnerable and put in an awkward situation which is hard to react to.

ROMAN MORTEM

I would say that the villain of the film is similar in regards that the social group for murderer's would predominantly wear black and there face would not likely be shown to the audience near till near the end of the opening. This creates a sense of mystery as the identity of the villain is not revealed till near the end. I would compare the villain in my film to the villain in Face Off as they both wear black all the way through the opening scene with little identity being told.
