Question 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Evaluation question 2 from whslaura
We also used sound, editing, camera work and mise-en-scene to present a particular social group.
We used mise-en-scene through the costumes the characters were wearing. For example, both of the colleagues were wearing smart, formal clothing so this shows it is aimed at the middle class groups because of the types of jobs these people will be at so it matches with the level of work as the colleagues. The miss-en-scene in this opening helps to represent horror. For example, the ghost wears a grey, baggy, old top in the first scene. This makes the character seem lonely, abandoned and frightening as grey is associated with loss, emotionless and depression. The costumes of the characters also help to show their important Rosemary and Simon (superior) are in formal, smart costumes. This emphasises that the characters have an importance in film
Editing also helped represent a particular audience. For example, the straight cuts as the flashbacks happen when the two colleagues are talking. This shows it is aimed at the older audience as it requires a high level of intelligence to register what is happening in these scenes and what the flashbacks connote. This could also link to camera work and the screen time of each flashback. Because the flashbacks are on for 1second at the most it is hard to understand how the flashbacks relate to the storyline so it requires a quick thinking mind. The use of the straight cuts when the flashbacks are happening could represent how everything happened so fast and there isn't much time. It also adds tension and a sense of fear because of the quick flash in our faces. The shot reverse shots between the characters also helped to show the audience the two detectives reactions when discussing the victims death.
We used camera work to represent a particular social group as well. For example, we used an establishing shot to show where the scene is set. This shows it is suited to a more intelligent audience because they must understand that the establishing shot as a meaning; where the conversation takes place. We also used a zoom in our ghost scene which represents which social group it is aimed at. This shows it is aimed at the older audience because the zoom adds a sense of fear and tension as it zooms on to the ghosts face so you have to be prepared and have an idea of what's going to be happening next. The zoom on the ghosts face emphasises that the ghost is the antagonist in this sequence. It makes the ghost look intimidating and daunting as the camera zooms in closer on the face almost revealing it. When Rosemary is walking towards the superior there is a use of a pan following her. This suggests that Rosemary is the main character and has a big role in this film. The pan makes her seem important as the camera doesn't miss her movement. The pan also helps to emphasise to the audience that Rosemary is who we should be watching for the most, it gives out enigma codes, for example; "Who is she?", "Why is she important?", "Is anything going to happen to her?", so it immediately makes out attention focus on her.
The use of sound represents that our film is aimed at the older audience. This is shown through the dialogue used from the two colleagues. The dialogue used is complex so it requires some intelligence to understand what they mean. If our audience was the younger ones they wouldn't understand the dialogue so the storyline would be hard to follow. The dialogue used in the opening makes the characters seem intelligent and suited for the job they do; detectives. It shows that they are discussing a crime scene and a death of the victim.
