How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?

Though there is only really 1 main character in my opening sequence, he is seen as a stereotype. I know this because he is a wealthy man who works as a business man, and when people think of a business man they think 'rich'. Also before he leaves his house, he is checking himself out to show he is vain, and most wealthy people are.

This picture of Matt Damon is a stereotype of my character. In this picture, he is a business man with a well looked after personality as you can see. The reason we wanted to base my character on Matt Damon is that he is very popular to the public in films such as 'The Bourne Identity'. I think it was very successful in the end due to great responses and how the character Nathan fits in really well in the opening sequence.

This annotated picture below will show the picture of the character Nathan;

By this annotation and analysis of the character, we can see that he is representing all the business people out there, mainly the high-class. The good thing is, is that most high class wealthy people think there life is going really well so they wont care for anyone else and it's commonly known as 'being snobby'. But Nathan, being a high-class business man effectively lives as a middle-class man which comes across as a good thing. Unfortunately he has had a bad past which he has killed someone, and is reminded of this from a flashback. We then don't know anything about the women he killed or why he done it, that's why the opening sequence is most effective.
