Evaluation of Immorality.

Question 2
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
In our thriller, immorality we decided to not have a woman as the main character or during the opening because like in Sin City, The Third Man, Essex Boys and Layer Cake the openings, of these films mainly focus on the Males in the shot. We followed the stereo typical of Thriller films only being about men and their hierarchy. Males seem to have more power in thrillers due to them being the lead role and the storyline being based around them and their lives. Women are commonly used in Thrillers as Femme Fatale's because of their sexual appeal. We did not want this in the opening because we wanted the audience to question why he had lost everything then thinking it was because of women and assuming he was pulled into sex, drugs and gambling. This was not the affect we wanted the audience to have in the beginning of the opening. In society it is more commonly publicised about men loosing everything they have lived and worked for then women. So following this we stuck with having a male as the lead character.

We used the stereotypical British business man for the main protagonist, where as the debt collector the antagonist is dressed like a typical man on the hunt. We gave the impression that both characters are from a background with money. The audience will assume the debt collector got this money from doing peoples dirty work because the antagonist is a typical stereotype of a debt collector. Where as the audience doesn't know alot about the protagonist this cause the audience to be drawn deeper in as they would wonder why his job was so bad that he lost everything.
