- Evaluation q. 2 Representation of social groups in your film. Upload your 'character interviews' with an introduction explaining what you have done, and why you have done it. Upload your presentation about your characters: pictures of your actual characters (a video still?) with captions, next to an image of a similar member of that social group, perhaps from real life, perhaps from a movie. Examples from our centre here .
- Further examples of representation of social groups here.
Get to know your character by giving them a questionnaire: an idea from FilmEscape
Use PINTEREST to collate your collection of social groups See PINTEREST here
Pick a key character type from your film opening. Take a screengrab of a reasonable sized image of them. Think of one or more characters from other films with some similarity to them (but maybe some differences too!). Find an image on the web of that/those characters and grab it as well. Drop the two into Photoshop, as a split screen. Export this splitscreen image as a jpeg then drop onto your blog and write about the similarities and differences in terms of appearance, costume, role in film etc.
