The only social group we show in our film opening a young Caucasian
couple. This is, because we set our film in London where the main ethnic group
is Caucasian and its target audience in the UK. In our film opening ‘Killer
romance’ The representation of gender is mixed. In MISE both genders are
dressed in a stereotypical way. The male is in all black clothes. This implies
that he is the dominate one in the scene. The female is wearing black as well
with a hint of white. The white in her clothes represent her purity as a woman.
However, the only non-stereotypical part about her MISE is her hair. Her red
hair represents danger which foreshadows her job and her personality. At the
start when she is flossing her teeth we see that the floss is stained with
blood. this is non stereotypical as it implies that she is dangerous and not
pure. The male is represented as stereotypical. We see this when he cuts his
neck shaving he doesn’t flinch. This shows that he is not bothered by this.
This is stereotypical as men are seen as brave and to fearless to feel pain.
In camera angles both genders are seen as fairly equal throughout
the film opening. The majority of camera angles in the film opening are
standard level shots on each single character then standard level shots as well
when they are seen together. However, we did use a few low angles on the woman.
This is because we believed that it would break the stereotype that women
aren’t significant in the media. To show that our characters were both viewed
as equals we gave them equal scene provenance with only the woman’s prevalence
overlapping for a few seconds. We did this as our film is taken from the
prospective of both protagonists which are male and female.
