How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Social Groups


L.A Suspect
Our Opening Sequence, 'Suspect'













































L.A suspect features over the sholder shots of one character following another, just like our opening sequence did.  L.A suspect is also a crime drama film, so similarites with conventions such as that arose.  The Mise-en-scene of costume represents the teenage age of the girls featured, and conveys them as being vunerable and oblivious to the people around her.  Which suggests to the audience that all teenage girls are careless and uneducated of the dangers of being alone in society.  This introduces peadophilic issues which arise in real life occurances, and is a difficult topic to approach.  Stereotypical interpretations of a male being the kidnapper feature in our sequence, and we reflect a particuarly stereotypical view of it being a school girl that is kidnapped.
