How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In our film, we used typical stereotypes in are film to make certain people relate to are opening title sequence e.g. black male the criminal and the white male the snitch.

In our film we show that black male is the criminal and the white male as the snitch we used this common sterotype so it would be easier for the veiwer to understand the film.

Both men are in similar because of they posture and are quite bulit men. They also are in the same situtation because they are both in prison wearing orange prision garments and looking directly in to camera showing agression in their eyes. There facial expressions show that they are angry at the fact that they are in prision and show and can't wait to get out. Both shots are taken indoors and are with a white background however the lighting in the second shot is different because we wanted to create effect of what is happening in the shot is past tense. They also have sort of same hairstyle this shows that they must be both from a rough background. Overall I personally think that the elements are the same in both shots and it shows a very thug ish and gangster social group. the people who made the film where i got the shot from a wanted make it a very hardman sort of film.
