Q2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My groups opening sequence represents a fair few social groups. The main social group represented is the criminal side, its a classic gangster, guns and drugs type of film. Our gangster isnt however a typical british gangster, the GodDaddy is an upper class, formal gangster not to forget that he also is italian too.

I have represented my chosen social groups by keeping to the classic narrative of a criminal/ gangster genre of film for example, scenes involving drug exchanges, murder and cigars/cigarettes.

 We kept the mise-en-scene similar to the style of the clothing attire that were used similarly to the social group in the classic film the GodFather which portrays classic Italian American gangsters. We used formal, expensive looking suits and tie's to match, aswell as fancy moustaches. This represents the upper class society that the characters are in, they are classic bourgeoisie character's. To represent the spoof sub-genre of the film, we used props that showed humorous side of our film, which is also a modern day representation of classic GodFather. Such as the toy cat on the GodDaddy's lap, and the chocolate coins exchanged for the sherbet deal.

Me and my group have produced an opening sequence which portrays italian-American gangster surroundings that give off set emotions to the audience, from the audience's non diegetic view of the film, the atmosphere seems tense and emotionless in the shoe's of the gangsters. It shows that they live in a society of patriarchy, power means you get what you want in life, we show the Godfather's soft side though when it comes to non-human's such as cats. The cat proves a less heavy effect of gangster surroundings and lets the humour show through.

audience.

 This compares to existing representations in the media as I feel that our film would be a unique aspect on the original Godfather and a parody of the film has never been actually created, making our representation different from any other.

Our film interprets a different style of gangsters; in the media today we have the 21^st century british hard gangsters. In our film we have the classic Italian-American gangsters, with a spin of humour to their characterization.
