How does your media product represent particular social groups?

There is no real social group in our title sequence as it involves only a serial killer. Instead, I will show the small group of killers and how they are represented. Killers are fairly rare in reality but within the movie world, they are constantly being refined and looked into in hope for the most realistic and original killer possible. Some of the best movies that have been produced involve killers such as "The Godfather", "Shawshank Redemption"or even "Silence of the Lambs". There is massive interest in killers so we used to our advantage in multiple ways.

Killers in society are usually the way they because they are psychotic. This meant that we wanted to bring this psychotic representation into our title sequence which we did by using an effect called "Bad TV" which made the title sequence look like it was changing channels on an old TV set. This created the perfect effect for our title sequence as it connoted the rapid and chaotic mind of the killer.

In films and programmes that involve a serial killer, the identity of the killer is not usually shown early on in the film but is instead later on. We used this in our title sequence as we wanted the identity of the killer to be a surprise. To ensure this, we used extreme close-ups and close-ups of only the killers body from his chest down. This meant that no one would know the identity of the killer until later on in the film.
