Evaluation - social groups


How does your media product represent particular social groups?


What is a social groups?  A social group has been defined as two or more humans who interact with one another, share similar characteristics and collectively have a sense of unity. Although our opening to our film does not necessary represent particular social groups in an obvious way as it is difficult to present this due to our one protagonist and static movement, it does show a difference in behaviour and appearance in the dynamic difference between the sides of Alice/Lacie. Focusing on the definition our film resembles this by how they are the same person but convey opposite characteristics which eventually become similar as the plot line alternately  concludes with Alices both sides coming together as one, a unit. Alice conveys a typical intellectual young girl with a normal girly girl room and distinctive characteristics however, Laice portrays a very hyperbolic ability of feeling no physical pain, she comes across as being popular and very strong and powerful. Although our short sequence only presents two setting both displaying a sense of social interest and representative elements. Firstly, Alice’s room is filled with suttle clues and hint to the plot later on in the film, with the distinguishing use of the colour red which highlights the idea of caution or danger is is juxtaposed with the colour white shown in the opening which could show the vulnerability towards that forthcoming risk. However, the memory that is revisited infers the emblematic current society of ‘walking with her ear phones in oblivious to the world’, which results in an accident.
