Evalutaion Task 2

How does your product represent particular social groups?

Together, we made the decision to only show one character in the opening scene as we thought this would visually be better. I think this was the correct decision however it did mean that we could only represent one particular social group, that being a white male. Stereotypically, Hollywood have employed whit males as their main characters such as Leonardo Dicaprio, Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.






Another example of one social group being used is in 'I am Legend', but the difference for that film is it is a black male as the lead actor. Showing only one character in the opening title sequence shows that he is the main character and makes the audience sympathise with him from the start.
