What is a social group: A social group is a segment of the population that has similar characteristics as one another, and has the same interests as one another.
In our film opening we decided to have a crime thriller, which was inspired by many films such as the Bourne series films, and Salt was a massive influence on how i wanted the movie to look like. And i have implemented a key feature that not many crime thriller films have these days, and that is having a woman as the main actress, and that's why i liked Salt so much its because it's gone against thriller conventions and used a woman, which is exactly what we did in my film opening.
As you can see by the image on the right you have our actress Leena and she is dressed black, and has her hair down and natural. And Salt has her hair down and natural and is dressed in all black as well as Leena, and so we tried to recreate her image as well as we could so, but not so much that its not an original idea anymore.
Our social groups we are aiming for are teenagers aged between 13 and upwards and some families and viewers who enjoy thriller movies. This will attract young people to watch the movie this is because we have a young attractive lady who is not just a pretty face but does mean business in this film opening because when she sees the 2 men she does not run away but walks away quickly showing that she is not very intimidated by the 2 male figures but is clever enough not to face them head on, and decides to make a silent and swift escape out of the area. If you look at the Bourne films they have been very successful with there movies and have appealed to a wide range of audiences, yes we don't have the great film budget and outstanding special effects but we can try and make up for those using our skills we have learnt in school and out of school and try and use them the best we can so that we produce the best looking crime thriller possible. 
When selecting out actors we needed to make sure that it would appeal to a wide range of audience but still would fit the role of each character. So for the main character we had Leena, she fits the part rather well as seen in the image above, we have tried to make her look like famous actress Angelina Jolie in the movie Salt, which in my opinion worked out well as she looks the part, and in many films these days you have good looking actors and actresses, and she looks good looking throughout the film and this could be a benefit because the male audience may find her attractive and my watch the film because she is starring in the film. This goes for the male character in the film he has to look professional, and has to dress the part and in the movie he wears black trousers and wears a black coat, he plays the part well, because he shows no emotion towards the camera when seen and, as Leena the female audience may watch the film because the male actor may appeal to the young female audience and this could be a reason why some females may choose to watch this crime thriller film. The 2 male figures needed to fit the part, so i got 2 of my mates to play them, one of them is tall and the other is shorter and so we have made them wear black clothing so that they look professional, but we asked them to wear jumpers with hoods on so that they could put there hood up and obscure there face, and many teenagers wear these types of clothing, because its classed as fashionable, and we wanted our actors to look sophisticated yet still connect with the audience, because the younger audience all want the latest fashion clothing and if we showed that we thought about the younger market people might want to watch the film more because of this.
