Evaluation Question 2






How does your media product represent particular social groups?

If we look at our own character from our title sequence and those from the films Phone Booth and Taken we can identify both resemblences in the characters though, also distinctions in them too. For example our character is portrayed as vunerable, when we compare to this to the main character featured in the opening of Phone Booth the two are totally opposing. Both characters in the title sequences are similar in the way that they are both from the same social class however one of them is confident while the other is quite reluctant in his actions. It is clearly demonstrated that both of them also are involved in a crisis that they themselves don't understand why and how they ended up in such a problem.


Likewise, our own character and the character from the film Taken are alike in the way they have been made victims to situations that involve some of their closest relatives. But our character challenges the reaction of the character in Taken. He does this by following orders and acting as inferior and defenceless whereas, in the film Taken, the character is the total opposite. In various ways the character in Taken is a development of the character in our title sequence.


Nevertheless, even their dress sense is similar in the way that they are both wearing formal outfits and a based in an urban surrounding.
