TASK 2 - EVALUATION

How does your media product represent particular social groups?







This is two images of the main/only character in my film "Final Cut" As my title sequence is vague and there is no particular story line and there is just one character, it is difficult to link it to social groups, however you could argue that this character is a stereotypical mental patient as she looks dishevelled and the way she he is standing in the dark with the candle shows she unhinged. Also the fact that she is always alone suggests she is a loner. A character from an opening that inspires me is the main character in the 2010 film Shutter Island, he is presented as a detective, who is going to Shutter Island, the home for the "criminally insane", to solve a mystery of a missing woman. However we are made aware that everything is not as it seems as he suffers from anxiety, and is grieving for his wife.










Both characters are different as it is clearly indicated through her appearance and body language that she is unstable. However in Shutter Island the character is presented as normal, as his appearence is that of a normal man, his mannerisms and behaviour is also presented as normal until his nervous disposition starts to show.
In both my film and in Shutter Island the main character does not know of their illness
which makes the films psycological thrillers and will give the audience a shock.
