Evaluation Activity 2:

How does your media product represent particular social groups?



















The figure on the left is Seth, he was the main character in my film, although there was only three, he was the most important as he has most of the camera time and he has a big role in the play. The figure on the right is Jim, he featured in the film '28 Days Later' which was released in 2002. 28 Days Later has a similar resemblance to mine but there film is a a lot more gruesome and plus they don't have the mystery of what is chasing them. I chose this character because he is the same as Seth in my film, they both have no idea what is going on, why it is happening, and they both face heartache at some point, Seth loses Elly to the epidemic, and Jim almost loses Selena to an evil army lieutenant. In a way this is similar, but at the same time it's a difference as in 28 Weeks Later they have received help, but in my film, the actors are in this alone. Another difference between them is that Seth was in the middle of it all when it happened, and isn't clueless unlike Jim, he woke up from a coma in a deserted London. But one big similarity is that they've both been through a really rough time and all they want to do is keep there loved ones safe and out of harm's way, they're both romantic at heart, but they have to be strong for everyone else around them.




















The figure on the left is my character Elly, she is the girlfriend of my main character Seth in my film, the figure on the right is Selena also from the film 28 Days Later, I chose to compare these two as in each of their films they are in love. Selena falls in love with Jim during the course of the film, but Elly is already with Seth before hand, this can count as a similarity and a difference as there is a slight change in storylines.  These two characters are very alike, they both have to face death during the course of their films, Selena survives, but my character Elly, doesn't, they also both mean a lot to the men alongside them, they are protected throughout, but sometimes they are left by themselves, which is when the girls have to learn to fend for themselves, this is the same in both films, one difference between them is that Selena is a lot stronger than Elly, and Selena manages to stay alive for the rest of the film. One final big similarity between the two girls is that they both have to face the heartache of either losing or almost losing their loved ones.
