How does your media product represent particular social groups?




Jack Barber -                                                                         Jason Statham - Snatch
 Last Man Standing    









                                                       
                                                                              






When we first began research on our crime/gangster genre we watched severalfilm on this particular genre, such as Reservoir Dogs, Goodfellas and most of all Snatch, this was because we loved the genre and dialog. Snatch gave us an insight of what this particular genre was and how it could help us with our film. we looked at certain characters which gave us an idea on how ours should act, dress and talk. For this particular bit i am looking at the similarities between Jack Barber and Jason Statham, this is because we got the idea of using Jack as the gang leader, and also the way he dresses and speaks from Jason.


Appearance and Costume
  • When watching Snatch we noticed that 'Turkish' wears pretty much anything he wants, yet everything he wears is black, this is because he is a character who in which is come across as someone ho doesn't care about his appearance, but always looks 'bad' and 'hard'
  • Jason (Turkish) has a body language that suggests he has very dominant personality showing presence of importance, therefore we had to make Jack act like he is important show a dominant personality.
  • Facial Expressions - Jason's and Jack both have similar facial expressions in both films, showing serious expression and sheer dedication to the task in hand.
  • Dialog - Jasons speech in Snatch contains a very deep 'cockney' accent, this gives a very impacting feel to his voice and to the scene. we applied this act to Jack in our film

Roles in the film:
Both roles in each of their films are to be dominant, important leaders. but most of  all they both narrate what is happening and what has happened in previous occasions, this is appeals to the viewer as it helps them understand the film that little bit better. both characters are hugely important in their film because they are the lead actors.
