In our opening sequence there are only two characters present therefore we only have two social groups to look at these are teenage girls and middle aged men. Below are two images one of each of our characters I am going to talk about them and their social groups that they represent.
First we have our teenage girl we tried to portray her in the most stereotypical way possible. We made our character "Lottie Tolhurst" vulnerable and naive and in the opening scene we showed her walking out of a club which is quite typical in the life of many teenagers of today.
We then have our middle aged male taxi driver, this is a tricky one to talk about as I don't believe there is a social group for "Crazed taxi drivers who kidnap teens" so I am going to talk about how we made his character creepy, firstly we have the driver in his car pull straight up after the black cab pulls off which is a bit keen and creepy. Then we have the driver talking to our teenager in a friendly sense like he knows something about her which isn't normal, by now the audience knows there is something not quite rite going on in the car this is then in-forced with the scene with the license that the driver had stolen prior to the girl getting in the taxi happens. Finally we have our drivers speach which is quite stuttered and stammered which just adds more of a sense of "Strange".
