How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
-The video challenges conventions
by going back and forth from present to past. This allows the film to remain
suspenseful and mysterious throughout the introduction by slowly revealing bits
and pieces of the story. We also chose to challenge conventions in this way to
make the audience feel confused of where they are and why just like the
prisoner is since he doesn't realize he is the one responsible for his friends'
deaths until later on.
-The social class we decided to
represent through the prisoner in our film was of a male in lower class with no
family. While in solitary confinement, the prisoner did not know that he
murdered his friends. This can be signs of a mental illness from not only being
able to kill another human but also from having no realization of it. A male in
lower class, such as him, would not be able to seek medical help for a
psychological issue because of a lack of wealth, which would possibly cause
them to be in a situation like this. The audience can also tell that the
prisoner is impoverished when he walks into his house which was not an updated,
upper class house.
