2. Roles
Both of the characters almost share an identical role to each
other. They are both perceived as high status men with
authority and dominance wanting to find out information to
rescue or save something/someone. Will smith’s role in ‘Men
In Black’ is purely to find and identify information on aliens in
the world he is also part of secret non-government agency
that polices and monitors extraterrestrial activity.
Similarly compared to our opening sequence Agent ken is
part of a government detective group on finding lost
information and victims about a GM product with only one
person that knows most about the product they are
capturing to find. Agent Ken’s role is to find the character
who is already captured and interrogated by gang members.
To emphasis Agent Kens superiority we included pros such as
a glass of whiskey which is very expensive drink relating to
the high status, also information sheets and a laptop to show
the importance of the investigation . Moreover we tried to
shoot the each scene in the correct setting to emphasise the
whole investigation.
3. Appearance
Will smith is appeared as a detective in the
Men In Black movie. His props shown in
the picture which are a smart black and
white suit as well as a gun portray his
importance and status as a character in the
movie as well as dominance supporting his
role. The gun shown in this frame suggests
how dangerous and important as a
character he is also it is used as protection
for himself when investigating to prevent
himself from dying throughout the film.
Agent ken in our opening sequence is similarly
portrayed as a detective. Agent Ken’s influence of
appearance is from Will Smith, both characters share
the same attire this also matches the status and
importance of Agent Ken throughout the opening
sequence towards the role he plays in the sequence.
In the picture we can just about see the props
included in the frame which is a glass of whisky this
relates to characters job of how stressful and hard
working the character is investigating and finding
information on victims.
4. Appearance
In this scene the character getting interrogated
know as the ‘Joker’ is portrayed very differently in
contrast to our character being interrogated.
Although the name of the character ‘Joker’
matches the props and attire of the individual.
However, included in the frame of the picture are
some similarities matching to our opening
sequence such as the table and chair which are
two main props linked towards interrogation. The
joker is also seen to have no power just as the
picture shows batman looking over him with
authority and a heroic figure.
Our character known as the ‘Drug
grower’ in the opening scene has
no similarities to the Joker as he is
topless, except the linked props to
the scene which are the table and
the chair as well as how he is
portrayed with no power and
status as he is belittled by the gang
members.
5. Roles
Two of the characters both share similar roles for example they
both get captured by another character in the movie and
receive interrogation by them either being tortured, beaten or
punished for information they have or as a consequence for
what they have done. This suggests they belong in the same
social group as either traitors or being treated low by their
bosses. During the filming of this scene we emphasised the
setting by first of all finding an area or place that links to the
interrogation also playing around with the lighting to create
tension and mystery.
6. Appearance
This character is part of an Asian
gang, his face expressions suggests
he is serious and angry with what he
has to deal with, the camera angle is
shot from below which portrays the
character looking over people to
show his worth and status. That
characters clothing is dark and dual
with a bandana over his neck this also
gives the audience an idea that he is
part of a gang.
In the picture frame we can see that the man
in the suit has authority, high status and
respect from other members in the group .
His position at the table also gives us
evidence of his leadership towards the others
on the table as well as his hierarchy.
7. Roles
The roles of each characters show that they are the head of their
gang and are at high point of their gang hierarchy . Both
characters as gang leaders give leadership to the rest of the
members on what to do, which gives evidence of their power and
authority as individuals as compared to the rest of the group.
Moreover, they are feared by people and looked up to as
guiders.
