2. How does your film represent particular social groups?

This is a screenshot from our film opening, showing the lead character in "Immunity" Calum and his clothing here is plain and he is not styled in a particular way; this helps people to relate to him more easily which is essential in any film. He is dressed in a pair of white overalls and a respiratory mask.

I am going to compare our character out of "Immunity", I am then going to compare him to someone of a similar age from a similar film. The character I have chose to compare our survivor to is Columbus OHIO from the film Zombieland.

In our film, the character is aware of the virus spread across the country, this is why he is wearing protective white overalls and a respiratory mask to prevent the chances of him becoming infected. He is also carrying his belongings in a bag what is around his shoulder which may have a weapon. Our character is in his late teens which is a stereotypical horror film character just like in other horror films in the US, however not many British horror films have teenagers playing the main role. For example,  Shaun of the Dead had Simon Pegg who was in his 30's at the time.

In Zombieland, Columbus is a very unusual survivor of a zombie apocalypse. He is a bit of a nerd/geek who meets another group of survivors and ends up being reliant on them in order to survive. Our film is different to Zombieland because Zombieland is a comedy/horror. As our film is based purely on horror. Columbus survived by sticking to a series of rules he created for himself in order to keep him alive.

The comparasson of the two characters is that Columbus is very relient on other people keeping him alive as he isnt the most confident of characters. Our survivor in "Immunity" on the otherhand appears to be very independent. As he walks across the field, he is heading towards the town centre, where the zombies are likely to be. It seems unlikely that a character like Columbus in Zombieland would be so confident and go alone in a situation like this. So our character could be heading to the town for anything for example....

He walks confidently across the field towards the town, perhaps towards the zombies and kill them himself? He could be heading towards a safety zone in the town centre and be with other survivors? He could possibly heading to the town to find survival equipment and help keep himself and perhaps others alive?

So overall, our film represents social groups when the riots on going ahead at the beginning of our sequence becuase of the outbreak of the virus in the town and the community are not happy which seems to be the youth of today. We did the riotting scene becuase we wanted to show how the country would react in this situation. Would they work together? Or would it be a big free for all against each other?
