2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?



The character in our opening sequence is inspired by the main character in the Expendables. Both characters are wearing a tactical vest and are dressed in a conventional army type costume. Both are dressed in black and although they are not in the exact same pose or similar setting, the way they act in their films is very similar. For example both characters have a one-man-army, commando, heroic, etc. persona about them which is generic in action films. I think that the characters represent male teen/adult social groups as both are the target audience for the action genre and for both films.



The character in our opening sequence is inspired by the Joker in Batman - The Dark Knight. Both characters hide their identity with face paint and wear unconventional smart clothes. Both are deemed with psychological problems which makes them both unpredictable to the protagonist. We tried to make our character more sinister unlike the Joker who more resembles a clown. I think that the character represents male teen/adult social group as both are the target audience for the action genre and both films.
