Task 2: how does your media product represent particular social groups?

Being a thematic title sequence, which involved no people, we found it difficult to evaluate what social group ‘Askew’ would represent. However, with further thought into the question, we figured that there must be a possible answer. We looked at the wider picture and considered that the social group that would like to watch the sequence would be young educated women.



This is represented through the mise en scene which would be the diary entries and the voice over. Both of these demonstrate, correct use of grammar and spelling, philosophy, which suggests the idea of education and culture. 



We decided the use of language such as solitude and self fulfilling prophecies these are words that the younger uneducated market like teenagers may not understand, this language is more common in young adults in their 20's or 30's, therefore we decided that our sequence best demonstrated this social group.


We also thought the idea of keeping a diary isn't as common in the younger generation therefore making it more recognisable by older generations. The gradual deterioration of the hand writing and ink stains that appear as the diary entries continue suggest that time is passing. There could be some representation of mental illness in society, even though we don't stress this point.
