The way that my media product represents the social groups of B,C1 and C2 is through the type of locations, actors and storyline that I have chosen.
The way that the location represents a middle class audience is by shooting in Newcastle, which I think is a very cosmopolitan city, which has a certain modern city charm to it, which is what I wanted. I think this has been illustrated well within my trailer as it is the first scene that the audience will see, therefore setting the trailers locations. I also think that this will help me attract a certain social group, because only certain types of people will be interested in the trailer through the locations chosen. Another location that I chosen, which is similar to Newcastle, is Sunnyside in Sunderland, I think this area appears quite elegant, as the houses are white victorian styled buildings with black railings, which reminds be of the colours of Chanel.

Scene from Coco Chanel.
I have chosen this Scene from the Coco Avant Chanel trailer, as I think this bit of the trailer best portrays the type of elegance that is being illustrated throughout the film by the choice of location. In the frame we can see a couple riding horses towards a large house, this will give the viewers the impression that the couple who are riding on the horses are quite wealthy. Even though my trailer isn't about wealthy, I want to portray I type of character, and without the location I don't think I would have been able to achieve this.
The way that my character 'Kate' helps represent a social class is through the outfits and props that I have had her wear and use within the trailer. For example the first out fit that you see Kate in is a casual yet formal chic outfit of a loose red top and leggings with floral high heels. This portrays that the character cares about her appearance therefore taking some time to look presentable and attractive, I think that this will attract a middle class social group as most of the women and men will be interested in fashion, where a few fashion trends can be found throughout my media trailer. The reason why I don't think this will appeal particularly to the social classes of D and E, and especially men is because I don't think they will be particularly interested in the clothes and the fashion as they will probably have more important things going in their life that they don't have the time to read up on the latest trends.
The ways that I think Kate resembles a strong female character seen in my inspiration pieces is through her get up and go attitude of getting on with her life after something tragic had happened. I think she bears a resemblance of the character Coco Chanel in Coco Avant Chanel, as she shows determination and believes in her passion and dreams.
I think that my character could be an idol to younger women, as the ideology behind the character is quite inspirational, and I think that more weaker females who aren't as strong as the Kate's of the real world, will look up to Kate as a character and admire her for continuing with her life and beliefs and not letting it get her down.
The way that I think my movie poster and film magazine represents the selected social classes I have outlined earlier on in my post, is through the organized layour, as I think that the cover looks quite conservative and mature, therefore attracting a more mature audience. I also think that the photographs show elegance and material wealth, as my model Kate looks well presented in her wedding dress and showing a glittering ring. I think this would persuade a middle social class to buy my magazine and to go and see the movie as it would look appealing.
