Evaluation: Question 2

How does you media product represent particular social groups?
The film is good vs evil! It all about the good trying to defeat the bad. Trying to keep out of trouble, which is the youth of today. Trying to bend the rules but still not get in trouble for it. Simply, we have the gangsters, the stereotypical teens what you see on the news nowadays and the police who are representing everyone else in the world who just want to live peacefully.
Tony- Slimy, sneaky and stupid. He is the person everyone doesn’t want to be. It’s how people try not to be when they are around others, but we all know that it’s us really! We show this by using a thin actor, and having his close up to be very lethargic and lazy. You can see this from the way he holds his cigar.
Leach- The quite one. This character represents the one person in a gang or even a group of friends that never gets a say, and just sits there quite thinking but never saying. We show this by him not talking, and the slow chin movement during the close up, this shows thought.
The Boss- The Boss! The only person who makes decisions in the gang. He is the ‘bigger’ one. Representing the one or two people in a group of friend who will actually get the job done. We see this in the close up, the lighting make him look mysterious and dominant. Its also seen in the panning shot when he is the first person to start talking.
DI Jill- Nervous, but brave. She represents the people who are brave enough to do things even though they can get in trouble or even hurt doing so. This is seen throughout the piece generally, he face is always nervous and her slow walking and looking around shows hoe edgy she is.
Sergeant- The Sergeant is just another Boss really. He is assertive but wants to do good. However has given up on trying to do it himself so has had to ask another. This is a good characteristic to use as most people find it hard to do so. This character is the character people want to be like. Contrasting with Tony, who is the person people most likely don’t want to be like.
