Locations- Google Maps


The old factory landscape is used during the media product to clearly build the lower class atmosphere, which has become beneficial specifically towards scenes such as the meeting and the graffiti close-ups. The landscape also builds binary oppositions from Levi Strauss’s theory building the contrast of lower and upper classes. The factory also symbolises industrial revolution which links towards the lower class being employed for the upper class therefore linking towards the sectors of employment building the structure and form over the classes's relationship.


The alleyway location also builds tension and creates suspense for the audience members therefore building towards a roller coaster effect. As the scene begins with the over the shoulder shot over the black hooded figure, the location represents mystery and suspense making the audience feel more intimidated and scared over the fate of the upper class therefore representing the upper class as victims participating in a conspiracy and overrule for supremacy to control the political government.


The next location is James’s house, which is perfect for the businessman’s home making it more appealing and setting the correct theme to build the contrast and integrity of the upper class. Also during the door opening and montage of the businessman becoming prepared, which makes it very formal and sophisticated with the use of props and costumes.


The final location, which is a roadway, is used to represent the horror and tragedy of the lower class overpowering the upper class therefore making it more grotesque and horrific. This therefore builds more climatic atmosphere, which has allowed the lower class to become more dominant than the upper class. This links to Todorov’s theory of disequilibrium that as the lower class build their strength in number and individual aspects there are greater groups towards society. This also links to Levi Strauss’s theory of binary oppositions and Marxism therefore creating a lot of communism and this is linked to the band Muse’s purpose and ideas over the deception and interpretation over the social and political qualities towards our governmental society.
