In our sequence, there are not many representations of
social groups as it is showing only one person, a serial killer. Serial killers
are genuinely going to be individual and independent so they do not get caught.
I think this shows they are unsociable and do not belong in a social group.
Killers tend to prey on certain groups of people, normally female groups; which
could be split into many different social groups, for example; as they are easier to restrain, and manage as
they are weaker than and not as able as fully grown men to retaliate. Films such as ‘The Yorkshire Ripper’ and
‘Silence of the Lambs’ are films that the killers’ main target is females.
Our film has no physical characters representing a social
group but the props used indicate that there is some sort of social group
involved apart from the killer. For example the earrings are dangly and very
feminine, giving a stereotypical view on females. This is the only place in our
sequence where I feel that social groups is really represented as killers don’t
tend to interact with the outside world, whereas when the film actually started
there would be a lot more.
