Evaluation- Activity 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?




Our key character is Oliver, The murderer. He is first introduced in our opening scene as our main character in our thriller
This character is similar to the Patrick Bateman in the film ‘American Physco’ – directed by Mary Harron.



The role in the film

In ‘Class of ’92’, the character of Oliver leads a double life. His friends, co-workers and family know him as an ordinary married, business man… but they don’t know of the secret he keeps locked in his shed - his alternate psychopathic ego. He is actually a serial killer determined to kill his carefully chosen victims who think they are his friends. The friends were actually people who bullied him in school and gave him a hardtime throughout his years of childhood. In comparison....
Patrick Bateman in ‘American Psycho’ also leads a double life. He is a wealthy business man who hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his friends and co-workers.

The appearance/costume

The appearance and costume of both characters are very simular. They are both wearing smart business clothing such as Black blazer, white shirt, black shoes. The point of them dressing in ordinary smart clothing is so that none of them appear like a stereotypical killer that you would find in a normal thriller and so that you wouldnt expect them to be a psychopathic murderer.
