Question : How does your media product represent particular social groups
Social representations
The characters in can you keep a secrete?
A lot of the characters representations are influenced by mise en scene and one of the most important factors is appearance,ie costume and make-up. The Characters clothing in our film helped show the representation of the characters, Georgia wore more edgy clothing which showed her powerful personality whilst Kadey wore smarter and dressier clothes which convey her as more of a innocent character and jasmine wore Casual clothes which helped to emphasis her calm persona.
If my film was a anime this is a rough interpretation of how the characters would look.
Georgia, Kadey, Jasmine
Comparison to another Teen film
My obsession with grease has finally paid off! Looking at the characters in this short film I can see a lot of similarities between the characters in the 1970's teen film and characters from my modern day film can you keep a secret?
Use (-) and (+) controls to maximise and minimise the screen.
Comparing the two it appears that teen social representations haven't changed much in teen film's Just society's opinions. I think the characters from my teen film and the characters from Grease are really similar. The reaction to the Grease characters 40 years ago was really negative despite people loving the film. A lot of people thought the characters were "bad teenagers" because the conventions of the time were stricter In comparison to society today where these teens would be regarded as regular teenagers. I think people have become more understanding throughout the years and have changed alot of their opinions and expectations.
When I created these characters I didn't intend on trying to represent them in a positive or negative aspect,I just tried to create regular teens which had good and bad qualities. I created normal teenage characters based on peoples interpretations of teenagers today which are influenced by other teen films and by the personal opinions of audiences.
Reviewing the film opening i can see how the characters could be interpreted as negative by the audience as they appear to be lying to the authorities in their attempt to cover up a crime
