Question #2

Question 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Lisa Sheridan                                                                                               

Mental unstable love rival.

Age: 35

Occupation: Temporary secretary 

Likes: Having a drink, sexual active 

Alexandra Ryder

Looking for love

Age: 19

Occupation: Secretary 

Likes: Socialising and reading 

In the film Obsessed Lisa Sheridan is the other women who gets obsessed with her boss. When the boss is unwilling to start a relationship with her she turns nasty and blackmails him and his wife.the other women then breaks into his house and is a threat to therm and their children.

But in our film the secretary is the one that gets kidnapped and the wife blackmails her husband to be.The character of the secretary is reinforcing the stereotype of women as they are identified by men as sex objects but is challenging it by her being the one putting the pressure on the man. Throughout the opening the stereotype of the woman is reinforced as she is seen to be the weak, vulnerable during the accident and the following events. The secretary is shown as a negative portrayal of the woman which is part of the thriller feel which helps to keep the audience focused on the screen. Throughout our thriller we didn't focus on the women's features but more on how she was the victim to the fiancees rage.

In our film 'heartbreak' the man is engaged to his fiance but has an affair with a secretary. In the film obsessed the man is married to Sharon Charles who is a stay at home mum. In both our film and obsessed the wife (Sharon Charles) and Fiance in heartbreak both take revenge on the 'lover' for trying to take their 'man' away.


During the sequence of our film the fiance is challenging the stereotype of women as she comes across as the villain in the film. We see her being portrayed as a negative role of women as she acts in a violent way towards the secretary. This is negative because not all females act in the same way that she does whilst in the film.

We have a lone character in our film who is the finance, she will be blackmailing her man. The story will be told through her eyes and she will be the one pushing the film along (narrative). She is also the Antigenes character as she kidnaps the secretary so she is more the villain than the victim. However we don't really have a portaging character in our story because they all are villain like characters. You can say the secret is the portaging character as she is the one getting kidnapped however she was the one having the affair, same with the man.
We slightly disagree with John Berger's saying because our film is pushed along by females, rather than males. So we Challenge the stereotype of males being the main character pushing story along, as we have two females and only one male. One of the females (the finance) is the main one who brings the story along. Male gaze is a big thing in our film as two females automatically attract the male attention. Although our film is aimed for women we could also say for men also as we have lots of close ups of face and legs, that attracts the attention of males.

This meeting helped us get together more people for holding equipment, security around the area.

Schedule

The days we are looking to film are 12th to the 15th of January

day 2: wife getting our of car to being on phone looking through purse

Scene Walkthrough Map

This is the time that it will talk roughly for each shot that we are doing.

Production title

We came up with the idea heartbreak for our production title, this is because our thriller is about a women being heartbroken by her cheating husband. We then linked our logo to our name as they are both associated with hearts and beating. This name will be suitable and sounds professional for a film company. Also when choosing the name we had to make sure that there wasn't a name of a film like this already on the market.

Test Shots

Calvin Tapfumaney- Husband in Photo

He suits the character we imagined and he was most available to take a picture 

Iesha Mclean- Police woman on the phone 

knows what to say on the phone 

Lauren Whymark As wife of man in picture

 We chose her to be the wife as she knows the role well and fits what we want, she also has brown hair what is perfect for what we want.

 Alexandra Ryder As secretary 

We chose her to be the secretary as she has long blond hair and knows the role she will be doing.

Pitch

Title - Hearbreak

Psychological thriller

Homage to Phonebooth/obsessed

A wife is driving in her car and knocks down a secretary in a car park, in shock she checks to see if the women is ok, looking in her purse to find identity she finds a picture of her husband in the purse with the women, instead of asking for an ambulance to come she cuts off the call and drops the photos feeling so angry and upset. Checks for a pulse and walks away.

From this task as a group we learned that planning is an important thing when going to film. Without planning whose going to do what and whose going to get the people, it would be a mess.
