Evaluation Task 2 - How Does Your Product Represent Particular Social Groups?

As our film is based around the 1950s, I have based this around the social groups of this time period. The social groups in this time period are:

• the wealthy, well dressed, well educated people.
• the young, glamorous people
• the poor, not wealthy, poor clothed, work for a living people
• the old people

Our opening title sequence being based around the 1950s uses the first 3 social groups.

When we see the man and the girl through the window, this shows the wealthy, well dressed and the young glamorous people as the girl is wearing a sophisticated white dress and is looking elegant.

The man is wearing a suit which shows he is wealthy and well educated. Also the fact that they are drinking champagne and have a champagne bottle also suggests that they are quite wealthy and upper class.

We also have the photographer and messenger who are not as wealthy and have to work for a living. He is wearing cheap clothes which shows that he is in the poor, lower class bracket.

Overall in our piece we have focused on highlighting the upper and lower social groups in costumes. We have the upper class, rich people in the room and the lower class messenger that is working for the upper class people.
