Evaluation 2


How does your media production represent particular social groups?

Our film is based on a mafia and gangster life genre to find what sort of social group we were representing we decided to look at films like the Godfather, Alpachino Scarface and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels because we wanted to make a film that appealed to the British public.  We have used the representations from these films such as dress and talk to merge and make our film conventional.

To set the tone for our film our main character Vinnie Corbisiero to look likes a typical mafia gangster. We wanted him to wear a suit because it shows how formal it is for a man of his rankings to meet a Don. So when meeting the don we wanted to create and atmosphere that the Don is the almighty when our Doorman hears Vinnie call him the “Boss” we no that that is wrong by the doorman’s response to correct them this also helps to create a sketchy and unfriendly environment for the new comer Vinnie 

When Vinnie sees the Don we make it seen that there is no trust between the Doorman and Vinnie this is due to the status that the don has. But from our research we learn that the Don is a friendly charter to clients so when the Don now of his wear about we have him great him in a friendly ton. We chose to keep the speech simple and edgy this applies more suspense to the meeting and create a anxious environment. 

In our title sequence we decide to give the audience a background check to show the scale of just how powerful the don really is. We stat the previous history of the families and how it transferred to come to England create a new social group for the mafia based films to target. Showing the typical events that you would expect from the Mafia familiarizes the audience and sets them for the film
