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

Our opening represents or shows the social group of policemen, we stereotypically picked middle aged men as they are used most commonly in old movies. We present policemen in a negative way, as enemies because they killed the narrator's brother. 'Vice Vendetta' is all set around police, as the main character tracks them all down and kills them one by one, we purposely picked pictures of men dressed plainly in shirts and ties, which creates the image of ordinary work-a-day men but as they are burnt it introduces the violent nature of the film. Policemen are the only 'social' group' represented in our opening but the main character is shown to be the complete opposite (antisocial) ; through his clothes, alcohol, living conditions and his day-time activity showing he has no job, or family.
