How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My media product represents different social groups through editing, sound, mise-en-scene and cinematography. The protagonist played by Ed Brooker who is 17 years old is a man in his mid twenties on the road from an anonymous agency and the antagonist also played by Xiangyu Ge who is 16 year old where as his character is around the same as the protagonist.
The stereotypical mid twenties man is someone who has started working, just finished university, possibly moving into his first house. He is usually working or middle class, trying to work up the working ladder and achieve success. In our film, the protagonist doesn't any facial hair and is wearing a hoody. The protagonist in the narrative is trying to fit in with the crowd, dressing as a teenager to avoid the agency.
Xiangyu Ge portrays the agency like an anonymous business man. He wears a suit to show that he is from the agency however he uses glasses to hide his identity. He also does not wear a tie and wears his shirt un-tucked. This connotes that he doesn't care about being smart but is just there to do the job. In the film, we introduce the protagonist first as he leads the chase and bring in Xiangyu secondary as he comes around the corner to connote how he's trying to get the protagonist. This helps identify who is on the run and who is chasing.
Throughout the product there is many connotations of masculinity, the whole chase scene is about who is the fastest and strongest. At the start the antagonist is in control, being the one with the most power as he runs after the protagonist. There is also a single shot of the Antagonist by himself which is the only shot until he stops to get the gun out where the protagonist is not in the shot. This connotes that he is the more important one which is true until the gun switches hand.
