PLANNING: CHARACTERS

When planning our product we need to analysis the social classes of the characters so that they can be recognizable to the viewers. I have researched and complied various images of the different social classes we have used, such as: the police, smugglers (mafia, cartels and the transporters), convicted involvers and victims. 

The two images at the bottom are from two BBC news articles on the Essex lorry incident in 2019.

Alongside this, we researched the various non-named characters (extra/public) that would be involved in the filming. As our location is in London, we looked at the various stereotypical people that would be seen in a busy place like London.

We created Pinterest mood boards to illustrate the social classes and stereotypes that we want to use in our product. The stereotypes of a criminal master mind, a young detective and an associate to the human trafficker.

The anti-stereotype is the female detective because the word detective usually connotes an image of a rough male detective/ or young male detective.

The main issue in our product is human trafficking and the effect it has on each the people involved.
