How does your media product represent particular social groups?

I have chosen to look at my character from the opening sequence, as he is the main character and is very important to the film. He is also quite similar to other main characters in real action films. He is a normal adult male, but he works for a secret service. He has afew similarities and afew differences to other characters.

We had problems with making my costume look realistic for working for a secret service. This was because we are playing adults and we are only teenagers so we look like teenagers. I have chosen to look at afew other characters from real media products to show the similarities and differences we have used in the opening sequence for what our character is like.

I have chosen to look at James Bond.

I have chosen to look at James Bond, as he is the main character of one the biggest action film franchise and everyone knows about him. He always dresses smartly, so we took ideas from his costume and used them in our opening. Also we both wear dark and dull colours, such as grey, black or brown, this is because these colours are the most professional. However my character is wearing a black jacket and he wears a very formal suit which shows that he is important and likes to dress well.

Also James Bond works for a secret service, we have made our main character work for a secret service also. We have done this because it means he is able to do more than what a normal policeman can do, also because of the James Bond films the secret service has become famous to have a good guy working for them working against the enemy. Both our main character and James Bond are directed who to find by their boss, but both can do pretty much what they like to an extent.

I also looked at Mark Wahlberg when he was in shooter as Bob Lee Swagger.

His costume is different to the main character of our film because at the start he is retired from his job and stays at home with his dog, so therefore doesn't have to wear smart clothes and when he went to the shooting he wears smart clothes but its not a suit its smart jeans and a smart shirt. He may think that he doesn't need to wear smart clothes because he doesn't have a boss to impress and doesn't work for any sort of organisation.

He doesn't have a job because he retired from being a sniper which is a difference to Lewis' character as he is still working for a secret service, another difference between them is that Mark Wahlberg's character is specialist at sniping where as Lewis' character is an all rounder. I chose to look at him in this film because there is a lot of explosions in it, and that is a similarity to our film.

Overall I think my character is of a typical action film and I think that he has a mixture between the two characters i have done research on.
