SOCIAL GROUPS FOR MY FILM OPENING

MY SOCIAL GROUPS

For this task I am asked to consider my age group for the film opening that my group are doing and to consider the following questions:

1: WHAT ARE THE SOCIAL GROUPS REPRESENTED IN TERMS OF GENDER, AGE, CLASS, RACE, OCCUPATION AND SEXUALITY ETC.

2: IS GENDER REPRESENTED IN A STEREOTYPICAL WAY E.G. A WOMAN AS PASSIVE, MEN AS DOMINANT?

3: WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER SOCIAL GROUPS?

4: HOW DOES THIS LINK INTO THE TARGET AUDIENCE?

I am going to show you a very close correlation to our film and will explain the relevance in deeper context. 

SHUTTER ISLAND;

being the influence of our film idea it has great relevance to our film for a number of reasons.

FIRSTLY:

The era of this film is very similar to our film, but this is not the major reason why I use this film as an example. In our film we want to divulge and express horror in the most gruesome way possible. Shutter Island portrays the horror that we want to show in our film. The protagonist of the film who is played by Leonardo DiCaprio plays a U.S. Marshall. Teddy Daniels, who is investigating the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from the hospital of the criminally insane.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

The age certificate for this film is an 18. The main reason being is because our film shares some common ground with 'SHUTTER ISLAND'. We would like for our audiences to be deeply drawn into our film and I think we will succeed as many teenagers today are interested in films of this genre. This film received an 8.1 out of 10 on IMDB.

  1. You have made a study of Shutter Island but you have not done what was required, which was to use Pinterest to present the social groups that appear in your film. Please do so!
