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

Catch Them All features assassins and victims. The main characters are assassins however, with the victim not being developed. In our film, we have two different types of assassin: the newbie on her first job, and the more experienced, laid back assassin.

We first showed this through costume:

Agent 1:

Agent 1 was the more experienced character. With an overall more laid back appearance with loose hair. There was also a lot more 'flare' than Agent 2. She wears bracelets and a studded belt as well as Converse trainers. These imply she isn't as nervous as Agent 2.

Agent 2:

Agent 2 was more up tight as she is still finding her feet as an assassin. She is in a single colour palet with high heels and a generally more office/formal like appearence. She has no 'flares' like Agent 1.

Both Agents are dressed in black and white which maintains they are at work and are still serious about their work.

The differences between the two agents show that the assassins can be of varying ability. The fact the two are paired together gives the impression that, although the elder has a more immature appearence, there is a student teacher relationship. This type of relationship is reinforced by Agent 1 comforting Agent 2.

Their actions again reflect their personalities.

Our film represents the assassins as powerful, almost feared people. This is shown through the one extra moving out of the way of the younger assassin when they walk down the corridor. This gives the assassins a short of power over the office staff. Maybe the office staff are afraid of the assassins as they kill people?

The victim's ordinary clothing shows him as an ordinary person. This could reflect the agency of assassins as dangerous people who are able to kill normal folk - maybe they are contracted out to people with grudges? Maybe the members of the audience could be on the hit list?
