3) How does your media product represent particular social groups?
- The Red Book has a lot of male shadows which means the male gender are represented more in the sequence. They aren't sterotypical though as we used shadows instead of real people. We used all different ages for the shadows which shows ages are represented but are all the same and should be treated the same. Because we used shadows in our sequence sexuality, regional identity, physical ability and disablity aren't really a feature of The Red Book as the shadows could be anyone, so shows everyone as the same. To show that everyone is the same we used close up shots on the shadows. We also used low angle to show some of the shadows had power. Most of the shots were at a neutral angle however. Because we only needed shadows we didnt use shot reverse shot as there was only one shadow in each frame. This allowed the audience to focus on one shadow at a time. Mise en secen wasn't an important factor in the sequnce because we were using shadows instead of characters. To show that the shaodws were more bad instead of good, we coloured the text red. Red is accosiated with danger and blood.
