How does the media product represent particular social groups (Evaluation Question 2)

Jason  Statham 

We were really in the early stages of character planning however we did have a rough idea of what we wanted our character to be like we wanted someone who was dominant and the audience could take seriously. We needed someone who had the right character in the film like Jason stathem for example who played Turkish in Snatch and Chev Chelios in Crank and Crank 2 high voltage. Who manages to stay in perfect character all the time his in the film and has a talent for really getting into the character his given especially the gangster/action genre. He also manages to connect with his audience incredibly well in the way he interacts with the characters in the narrative. 


Jack Barber
We decided to cast Jack as one of the main characters as we felt in a similar way to Jason Statham he's able to stay in character most of the time as well as  being able to connect with the audience. However there of course a large amount of differences between Jack and Jason Statham one being appearance in the sense that Jason is clearly looks more slick and professional giving us more of an impression that he could be involved in a big criminal organization whereas Jack's appearance doesn't really give the audience the impression that he comes from a large criminal organization or any sort of criminal organization altogether furthermore the fact that he's wearing a coat gives us the impression that if he's in an criminal organization that he isn't incredibly high up within the organization. Secondly apart from being less experienced than Jason Stathan we can also tell from the facial expressions that Jason Stathan is slightly more serious in his work however asides from having a wide range of differences the two similarities are of vital importance and helps to set the mood for the genre and grab the viewers attention.
