2. How does your media represent particular social groups?

The characters used in this


sequence are minimal, as there
are only two main characters, the
Runner and the Agent. Both of
these characters are represented
as teenagers, and this is because
I wanted this production to appeal
more towards a younger
audience.

The character shown here is the


Runner, the protagonist of the
production. To help portray the fact that he is the protagonist, I chose to dress the
runner in lighter clothes and try and expose more light by filming him in lighter places
to introduce him into the sequence. The lighter clothes and setting connote the fact
that the Runner is a good character and is trying to help
the people in this sequence instead of oppress them,
which is the role of the Agent and his back story, which
is shown by me filming him in fairly light conditions as I
didnt have a way of blocking out the sun, but the Agent
(the Antagonist) is dressed in darker clothes to connote
his dark and mischievous intentions towards the Runner.

I feel that these two representations relate a lot to a


teenage lifestyle, and this is because a lot of teenagers act the way the characters in
this sequence do. A lot of characters are passive, like the protagonist, always moving
towards a peaceful lifestyle, avoiding trouble where they can, and others
unfortunately look for confrontation and violence, such as the role of the Agent.
