Evaluation- social groups

There are two main features that represent particular social groups:

The detective-

Another film character alike our detective would be, Agent K from Men in Black. He has similar qualities and fits the stereotypical aspects of the same social group.

We have manages to represent this stereotypical man, by the use of-

• A smart outfit
• Serious facial expressions
• Very little said
• Clever remarks
• Dismissive of his assistant 

The Killer-

The murderer

This murderer is much like Red John from the TV series The mentalist. We have shown this typical killer social group by-

• Leaving the hand print
• Sticking the knife through the head
• Making the victim a young teenager
• Leaving a riddle

Two other opposing social groups that we focused on while deciding suitable character profiles, was the age. We decided to make our character relevant to the average older and younger male picking out stereotypical aspects:

This article talks about drug crime. If we analyse it, from the fact that no females are included in, we could then concur that men are more commonly associated with crime and this is one of the reasons that they are used in thrillers. to stick to social conventions and attract audiences.
