Question 2: Representation of social groups.

Within our film, two types of people are represented by the two lead characters.

Firstly there is the character of the girl who turns into a zombie. She is shown as being weak and defenceless and easily picked on. This follows a usual stereotype that quite a lot of movies follow when often a character that is played by a female gets defeated and hurt easily in comparison to men. The fact that she is also wearing the pink shows the stereotype of what colour they are assosciated with. The Picture Below shows her in Black but the clothes they are the same ones she wore for the filming just without the colour.

The other main character is the boy who is the antagonist of the film. He in comparison to the other character follows a completely different kettle of fish in that he breaks the usual stereotype of the male gender by being a coward and a wimp. This shows weakness in male sex and that not all people are like this. The way in which he dresses shows he still has class and the fact he uses his surroundings shows he has initiative but lacks the nerve.

The clothes worn by the character are shown in the picture above just not from the situation in question.

Certain shots we used such as close ups of the face of the zombie face and the tracking shot during the filming of the hiding scene show that and help to promote it. The use of a distance to close up shot when he comes down the stairs helps us to show the classy side but that is completely contradicted later on.

Creating these characters was slightly tricky until it came to the acting side of it as we as directors and actors could physically decide who and where we want the characters to maximise the side and angle we want to promote where they are.
