Task 2. How does your product represent particular social groups?

Our product mainly represents an adult middle-aged and grown-up audience at the same time for several reasons.

Firstly, a great narrative and musical part of the ‘Monroe’ will represent an age class which can vary from 60-70 who had seen Marilyn's live performances and to 30-40-year people who listened to her songs and heard lots of stories about 50’s pop-idol and icon of American music.

So this audience will be represented by a massive sound background of the film and a new point of view about Marilyn's life and her death in which both Kennedy brothers were involved.

Regarding a mis-en-scene part the special attributes such as costumes, suits and 50’s environment represented the class of people who used to live in 1950’s so our picture is rich in formal suits, ties, and hats.

A bright example which supports our vision of the post-war period is ‘Aviator’ movie with Leonardo DiCaprio in a main role. Although Aviator is a high concept film the representation of people of this time is mainly the same. Moreover, it is a biopic film as well about one of the most influential person of this time but in addition to Monroe’s popularity the new twist appears as a conspiracy theory with highest people in American society.

Furthermore, there are no black people or any ethnic minorities of this time because the attitudes towards minorities were pretty strict that is why all actors and staff members are white. Because of stricter authority priorities at 1950’s all posts are hold by men. From the two main men on a film stage (Luke and Jason as Director and Cinematographer) to even a secondary role of assistants are men jobs and actually the only one woman in the whole opening was Marilyn Monroe herself. All this represents a basic attitude of American society of these years.

Then, because of the fact it is a biopic film so it’s based on a true life story of the star and half-true half-fictional conspiracy theory, which can cause an even more way? Questions and puzzles from viewers and this is the moment which will attract not only adults but historians and teenage audience as well. Historians are interested in a new possible version of her death even though it’s a movie and teenagers just enjoy films with not an exactly clear storyline filled by secrets but rich with special effects at the same time.

However, apart from a generation of elderly people our film pay more attention to different sides of the genre such as Detective story, conspiracy, musical and biopic but there is no clear representation of the particular social group apart from people who lived at 1950’s.
