We initially wanted our actors to be more in their mid-20s, however due to time constraints we've had to resort to using 16-20 year olds (apart from Mr. G, who was older). As well as this we didn't have any females in the film (again, due to time constraints). Due to this our thriller does not represent a wide range of social groups, mainly straight, male, 16-20 year olds (of varying cultures).
We had presented those with power (such as Mr G) as being more liable to corruption, whilst workers such as Owen were presented as being in a more noble light, due to that he has not been corrupted through his obsession for material gains. The dark setting (with the blinds down, with light emanating from them) creates a silhouette which gives a sense of mystery to the audience.
Some young people are presented in a more innocuous and unsuspecting (such as Owen) - with this we hope to encourage our target audience to relate to our protagonist. However, since another young person is the henchman, who is portrayed in a more negative light, our audience will still be able to relate to the film, knowing that the social group that is 16-20s is full of many characters, and many people will have had their share of 'antagonists' in their time, and so both portrayals help the audience relate.
Due to filming only the first few minutes of the thriller, we were unable to represent other social groups, such as older people, females, and other cultures.
