Being a thematic title sequence, which involved no people, we found it difficult to evaluate what social group ‘Askew’ would represent. However, with further thought into the question, we figured that there must be a possible answer. We looked at the wider picture and considered that the social group that would be represented in our sequence would be young educated women. This is represented through the mise en scene which would be the diary entries and the voice over. Both of these demonstrate, correct use of grammar and spelling, using poetry and philosophical ideas to explain the the meaning behind things, which suggests the idea of education and culture.
We decided the use of language such as solitude and self fulfilling prophecies are things that the younger uneducated market like teenagers may not understand or appreciate and are more common in young adults in their 20's or 30's, therefore we decided that our sequence best demonstrated this social group in society. We also thought the idea of keeping a diary isn't as common in the younger generation therefore making it more recognisable to the next generation. We also could argue that because of the gradual deterioration or the hand writing and ink staines that appear as the diary entries continue and time passed, that there could be some representation of mentally ill people in society, even though we don't stress this point as much as the previous.
