From the opening, my film could represent any social group, within reason; I simply have a woman, who's clearly the main character, doing the same thing every day- waiting for a train, as many people from many different social groups would do. It could also represent those who are more free-spirited, due to the insinuations that this woman will travel, and break free from the normal daily 9-5 job and lifestyle. The woman would be more likely to represent someone outside of the higher classes of society, as clearly she has to work, which is one of the reasons she feels so fed up, and in the need of escape. Many members of the audience will have wanted to escape their daily lives for something totally different, and as such, this woman could represent them.
The film could be seen as a feel-good film too, because it sees a normal person become different, change their life around, thus causing an audience to believe that it is possible for anyone, and in this way, my main character could represent anyone in the audience, within a certain range.
My main character may also be perceived to be quite isolated, emphasised by the train just passing her by, while she stands, unaffected by it. This isolation will allow certain members of the audience to empathise with her, and those people will come from all walks of life, proving how despite social class, you can take one character, and represent any number of different stereotypes or groups.
