My media product represents two social groups, the first one is an average working/family man. The pictures below are of this first social group represented.
The man at the beginning is seen wearing a coat and a plain blue shirt. He also has black trousers on and all this emphasises he is a working man. As he enters the house he says "Honey I'm home!" which is a very stereotypical way of a husband greeting his wife when he returns from work. This also tells us that this man has a family.
The man is seen picking up clothes and looking suspiciously at them, this shows he has a sense of worry because he would expect everything to be normal when he comes home much like any husband or father. We find out later in the opening that he is a father when he says "Susie?" as he enters her room.
We see the man turning off the television and this further emphasises the fact that he, being a husband/father, would clean up after his family if there was anything left on. This also emphasises the working man social group because he is saving energy costs.
The man runs fast through his house because he is worried about his family's whereabouts. This further emphasises that he is a caring father. The fact that he gets to the location where the note indicated shows he is dedicated to finding his family, this can be seen below.
The next social group that is represented is criminals. Below you can see the criminals apparel which is dark and hooded. This is a very stereotypical outfit for a criminal, because it would be hard to see in the night and covers his identity slightly. He also carries a weapon but one that would not be seen as a weapon, a hammer. This can deal damage but is not seen as a weapon in many peoples eyes because of it's construction use. This emphasises the criminal social group by making the man carry a weapon that is ambiguous and not straight forward aiming to kill. Also many burglars carry tools to rob houses and the hammer could've been used for that by him in the past.
