How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our film represents social groups in a subtle way because we do not show any proper characters during the opening two minutes because we felt that a more abandoned look will be more effective than using lots of characters because this will detract from the feeling of emptiness and the apocalyptic genre which we want to create. Because there are no characters present in the opening sequence this evaluation question is extremely tricky however we use the scenery to help create representation by showing no life meaning that no one will survive the disaster. This subtle yet very powerful message acts as a way to represent social groups because some people will watch our films and hopefully take away a message of how nuclear war is certain death for everyone because the power of these missiles is just immense. Due to this hidden message in our film the social group we hope to represent is the older wiser person acting as a warning to the younger generations who will come to watch the film because it looks good.

The other way we hope to represent different social groups is by the teenagers walking across the car park unaware of what is about to happen in their lives again acting as a hidden message to take care of their planet because they will never know what is going to happen.
