Evaluation Task 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Max: This is question 2 for our media evaluation we'd like to start this by showing you a picture of our main protagonist Charlie here we see his most 'prominent' scene as you can see he has the character stereotype of a 'lone cop'. we can see that he has a very serious outlook and he gives the feeling that he doesn't mess around.

Ashleigh: We decided to compare our 'lone cop' character to the popular TV crime drama character of Sherlock because they share some similar aspects from these screen shots we can see both characters share the seriousness for there police service and have a serious outlook on life we also see that that the same kind of clothing is worn and the same occupation is shared by the two characters.


Max: The role gender plays in Sherlock is also a lot different from our own film as in our film we have a 'all male film' while we did not intend for this we found that gen rder representation would mean that a male cast would have made for a better viewing of our film (we thought a film with such a serious storyline would need a strong cast to back it up and create the correct atmosphere and stereotype for the thriller). 




Nicole: When comparing our opening sequence to the opening sequence to Sherlock, we can see there are many shots that are similar. For example, we have the same location, the same style of shots, and in the previous pictures, they both include 
an over the shoulder shot of our leading character. 


Ashleigh: For the title of our opening sequence we found many other film titles which look alike to ours. Se7en, Buried, The Prestige, and Shutter Island are all similar to ours as they have black backgrounds and lighter coloured writing.
