These are the final images that me and my partner hoped to include in our project, but could not because of time restraints. We imported the pictures of the characters into Adobe Photoshop along with some 'notepad doodles' that I designed for each social group. We intended to show each of these pictures after the corresponding scene had shown on screen to give deeper insight into the characters. The mise-en-scene was important in each picture because it helped reinforce the steriotypes to the audience.
This picture shows the 'skaters'. In terms of mise-en-scene, the most important thing was the skateboard in the centre of the image. The clothes are also important. The costume was put together to give a sense of effortlessness, something that is often linked to the extreme sports culture. The doodles consist of interests of the characters, such as skate ramps, skateboarders, and danger signs to convey the dangerous nature of the characters lifestyles.
This picture depicts the 'nerds'. They all wear large rimmed glasses in the picture. The key thing in this image is the doodles. They are all linked to the steriotypical social group. For instance, there is a chess club reminder in the top left corner, maths equations and a hydrochlorid diagram.
This is the 'emo' image. The important factor in this image is the fact that all the characters are wearing black. This fuels the steriotype that 'emos' only wear black clothes. In the background image there are a few doodles of hearts, one of which is cracked down the middle. This is suposed to suggest that the characters are depressed. The 'I love MCR' doodle means 'I love My Chemical Romance'. 'My Chemical Romance' are an American band who's music is traditionally popular within the 'emo' culture.
In the picture for the 'chavs', we decided that all of the characters would wear their hoods up with peeked caps on. This is an obvious steriotype to play upon because it is widely shown in the media. As for the background, I decided to use rudimentary, childlike drawings to suggest the chavs' lack of intelligence.
