Using key elements for instance props we were able to show
the viewer of our product, to go further in our title sequences story and plot.
We as a group decided on many which we could have gave the audience knowledge
of the social groups being represented. For instance our title sequence as a
whole featured the use of two social group entities, one being a group of 16-17
year old teen boys. The other being a social group of a dark, sinister and seemingly
suspicious nature when looking into our first represented social group (teen
boys). We spent many hours looking into how they behave, how they think? Even what
clothes they would be seen wearing, in the end we had decided as a group to go
for 4/5 boys wearing clothes such as smart casual. Being traditionally jeans
nice shoes and smart top we achieved this effect by instructing our actors
before the shoot to wear clothes as if they would have been going to a party.
Using different techniques such as different types of editing and camera angels we were able to show the realistic nature of our groups and how they had been represented was in a positive nature. Rather than how media in general likes to represent youth of teens in extracts as being “abusive”, “chavs” and having general disregard for society and local areas. We challenged this convention by involving the youth social group in our title sequence to have a positive attitude towards their society and people around them. Although we had the difficulty of having no diegetic sound of speech from the actors (youth) in our title sequence what we had originally planed them to discuss the party which they was going too. Because of this it made it that little bit harder to have the representation of the teens to be in a positive nature, which meant more strain had to go on how they would look (mise-en-scene) to show their background in the short time they would have been showed for in the sequence.
In comparison with the social group background of the older man we found that a much more easier task of representing him out to be of a dark nature. Using props such as hodies and black clothing we were able to give of the impression that the man in black was of a dark nature and would instantly be shown to be the main protagonist. This worked as the colour black is often used to represent a dark feeling and troubled nature. Whereas the teens social group was shown to be in bright vibrant clothing connoting the difference in backgrounds between the two.
