Our film
doesn’t really represent our social group as it does more of a slightly younger
audience as that is often the main focus for the majority of superhero films released. The main plot of our film is that a kid at school is a big fan of
both superhero movies and comics and tries to become one in order to bring “justice”
to his school. This idea came about as we needed to film somewhere near to the school and that would not require us travelling. The dream of being a superhero felt by our main character is generally felt by a younger
child say about 10 or so. Our character however is not actually given an age
but the viewer could easily assume that he is still
older than 10. We therefore chose to back up this story with our
character being an avid superhero fan and that he has been a fan for more or less his
entire life. The idea of the film therefore worked well as all three of the people in our group are into superhero films and two of us, including the actor playing Gloveman, are comic book fans. The character of Gloveman is basically trying to replicate what he sees in comics or in
films and become his own superhero. Also as he is never actually shown with or really near anyone his
admiration for superheroes could represent someone who is a sort of outcast and
does not really fit in which is a very common situation in school, though the main reason was because it would have been difficult to get a good number of people to take part in the filming and play extras. Upon further reflection however we decided that him being the only person on screen would help to support the point that he is an outcast. By being
Glove Man he is therefore showing that that does not really bother him that he
is different which therefore shows that you should express your feelings and support for what you are interested in, however
the fact that he is hiding his identity could suggest that he is not
comfortable with people knowing that he is Glove Man. However since we never show anyone else is does not really have a wide representation of how people are in groups. though the appeal of superhero films and comics are starting to become more popular with teenagers as it provides a sort of escapism from reality.
