Question 2

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

I think that the representation of young female and male teenagers within my film opening is one that I think deals with a rather niche social group. No other characters are used except for teenagers or younger adults. So therefore I believe that this opening sequence would only interest those of that age as well as people of an older generation would not be able to familiarize themselves with none of the characters.

However, when receiving my feedback I thought I should ask a mixture of different people so I had a clear view of who my opening sequence would actually interest. I spoke to Melinda, 56, and she gave her opinion that this opening sequence would interest her as it has a twist to it but however for some other people of her age they might find it confusing and hard to follow. I also spoke to Sarah, 34, she said that she thought it would interest her children Betty 15, and Charlie 18, more than it interested her, she had to watch over my opening sequence twice as she was confused as to what was going on and she thought that Mitch was dreaming and was not in fact a mi5 agent which I did find disappointing to hear. I spoke to her children and they loved it! They believe that it would interest people more of a younger generation as all movies these days always have the same sort of catch or story line, but this is different, they enjoyed the twists and wanted to know what would happen next.

Overall I did receive a mixture of good and bad feedback, but I knew that my opening sequence would interest the younger generation more but I am glad that I got honest opinions and feedback from everyone.
