Question Two: How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The 1980sOur OTS was based in the 1980s. We decided that we didn't want to set it in the time where Film Noir was most prominent or in the present day, so we opted for the 80s, which is an interesting time for both culture and the roles of men and women.

In addition, we used the mise en scene to portray the 80s. Things such as vinyl players were found in the background of our sequence and posters of bands such as The Beatles. This showed to the audience how the setting was neither modern day, nor post war era.
