PLANNING: SOCIAL GROUPS

PLANNING: SOCIAL GROUPS

We have many different social groups throughout our short film. Ranging from an ethical war photographer to a troubled teenage girl. 

Ethical War Photographer

We used this social group in our film as it shows a troubled man who has to live with the guilt and trauma that hes witnessed. War Photographers have to go into battles to take photos of men and women risking their life. They are forced to see bloodshed throughout their career. Leading to many of them feeling guilty and responsible for not being able to help.

This job is able to represent the fathers character, as we are able to show how he still has to carry what he has seen around with him for the rest of his life. With our short film able to show how the father, Gary, has issues with dealing with his PTSD. With our film looking at how difficult it also is for the family members such as the daughters and mother to deal with.

Teenagers

One main part of our movie is how Alice, a teenager girl, is around her family and how she has grown up in an unloving home. Alice is our protagonist and we have depicted her as a loving and caring person, who does not receive the same treatment of love back form her family. Being seen as the reject, which lots of teenagers would be able to relate with.

Parents

We featured our protagonists relationship to her parents in our short film. We did this as it gives further background to why Alice is the way she is. The parents show love and affection towards on daughter Emily, whereas completely sidelining their other daughter Alice.
