The document summarizes how two main characters in a media product are represented. Jordan's character is similar to Johnny English but with a more relaxed costume to make the movie unique. Millie is portrayed as the serious spy, dressed fully in black from head to toe with her hair tied back to show she is serious and determined. The producers were trying to recreate Johnny English by choosing an actor like Jordan who is naturally funny to contrast with the sophisticated Millie. They incorporated aspects of Johnny English to make the movie funny and added effects to enhance the humor without missing any funny moments. Millie is dressed in black as the typical spy image but with heels to show her strength and ability to do her job as well as any man.

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

2. Representation of
characters
With Jordan’s character we have resembled it
to Johnny English with the way he acts,
however we have changed his costume to
something more relaxed and not stereotypical,
we did this to make our movie more unique
and unexpected. With Millie as she was the
more sophisticated and serious spy out of the
two we have put her in all back from feet to
neck and her hair tied back to show she mean
serious and is not prepared to let anything get
in her way.

3. Trying to re-create Johnny English
• We were trying to create a new and improved
Johnny English, by this we knew we had to
have someone naturally funny to play the role,
which is why we chose Jordan. We had sure he
did not look as smart and sophisticated as
Millie so that it would show a strong contrast
between the two characters. We all watched
the Johnny English films together and picked
out certain aspects of what he does and
decided what ones we would like to
incorporate in our film to make it as funny as
possible.
• We were able to use certain effects and sound
effects on premier to make it more funny. We
also added Foley so that you could hear what
he was saying from a distance so no funny
moments could be missed.

4. When creating the character that is
played by Millie, we wanted her to be
dressed in all black to represent the
typical image of a good and serious spy.
We added heels to the look to show how
strong she is and how she can do her
serious job just as well as anyone else
while also doing it in style. We also
decided that she should wear black
eyeliner to go more with her full black
outfit, hait tied back to show she means
business. I wanted the audience to see a
strong female lead role and realise that
the stereotypical girl in films who is not
able to protect themselves is not always
the case and it can be the other way
round at times.
