Evaluation 2. How does your media product present particular social groups?

Although the torch lighting proves a little difficult to make out the costumes in our film, our protagonist (bottom picture) is inspired by 'Will Salas' (top picture) the main character in the film 'In Time', also an action/thriller genre. We felt it would better represent our protagonist if we took a different shot of him (not included in our film) to display his clothing. Additionally his facial expression is similar to the top character - both in deep thought.  




Both are presented wearing casual clothing  to show the realism of the piece. We chose this outfit for our character as we felt it accurately represents the general male’s attire in present day (for everyday life not work) and therefore the ordinariness would contrast with the futuristic, make-believe aspect of the film. In addition, although not properly shown in our opening scene, both characters have that heroic role and therefore are empathised with. This aspect would be shown in our film had we developed it as our main character is able to break the 40 day curse.As both of these films are set in the future the audience watching are more likely to be able to relate to the characters which overall could heighten excitement.
