1. How does your media
product represent
particular social groups?

2. Lucas Wood- Main Protagonist
 Inspiration for our hero came
from the character ‘Peter
Parker’ in Spiderman. We felt
his casual yet focused
attitude was more relatable
for our younger target
audience.

3. Lucas Wood- Main Protagonist
 Inspiration for our hero came
from the character ‘Peter
Parker’ in Spiderman. We felt
his casual yet focused
attitude was more relatable
for our younger target
audience.
 Our character reflects these
attributes, but also
demonstrates his experience
in his field, therefore making
Lucas more realistic.

4. Phil- Lucas’ Accomplice
 To find an appropriate
accomplice for Lucas,
we searched for an
intelligent and serious
personality. We found a
similar character (Matt
Farrell) from the film
Die Hard 4.0.

5. Phil- Lucas’ Accomplice
 To find an appropriate
accomplice for
Lucas, we searched for
an intelligent and
serious personality. We
found a similar
character (Matt Farrell)
from the film Die Hard
4.0.
 Phil acts as Lucas’
informer, and
occasionally gives him
orders- this has the
effect of making the two
equal. Their contrasting
personalities also
cement their
relationship.

6. Representation- Action Hero
 We decided to counter the
stereotypes of traditional
‘heroes’ in action
films, who seem to
perform impossible tasks
with ease.

7. Representation- Action Hero
 We decided to counter the
stereotypes of traditional
‘heroes’ in action films,
who seem to perform
impossible tasks with
ease.
 One way in which this was countered is
shown in the picture on the right, the
Extreme close up shot reveals Lucas’
tension and stress, to be expected in his
profession. By showing Lucas’ emotions in
this situation, we are countering the
stereotypical action hero, therefore making
Lucas more relatable for our young target

8. Representation- Computer Geek
 Our second character, Phil, is
representing the stereotypical
Computer geek, who would be
expected to be reclusive,
humourless yet intelligent.
Thiswas achieved in one part
through his costume. The large
glasses and smart clothing
connote his intelligence.

representing the stereotypical

intelligent. Thiswas achieved in
one part through his costume.
The large glasses and smart
clothing connote his
intelligence.
 Furthermore, particular attention to the Mise en Scene
further connotes Phil’s reclusive nature, for example
the multiple computer screens suggest Phil prefers to
be kept away from the action, watching from a
distance. We believe that the two contrasting
personalities help to cement Phil and Lucas’
partnership, and therefore more realistic for the
audience.
