How does your media product represent a particular social group? My media product represents a particular social group by focusing on the two main characters on screen. The psychiatrist is represented as smart, well educated and supportive whereas the client is represented as vulnerable and insecure this is because she has these visions which brings back her tragic past that she can't even remember properly. Mise-en-scene also represents what social groups the characters belong to for e.g. use of costume. The physiatrist was dress smart whereas the client was dress casual e.g. hood. In our opening film we had two characters coming from different social backgrounds. This can be shown by their use of costume this was because the client was wearing a hood and jeans which signifies she’s a teenager. The fact that the client looks up to the physiatrist it highlights that she feels vulnerable.
