How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?
This is Toby Scott (Left)our protagonist he is the character that our film is based around, where a potential drug deal goes very wrong. In my opinion Toby best resembles a character from a very famous thriller franchise known as the Bourne films; Jason Bourne (right) a very talented CIA assassin that takes centre stage for the Bourne films.
Believe it or not these characters share several similarities and some differences. To begin Toby doesn't exactly have very many friends because of his social awkwardness, whereas Jason shares this trait because he's forced to trust nobody, meaning he doesn't have friends or talk to very many people that he doesn't know. Another similarity is that they are both in a situation that they don't want to be in, Toby has a bad drug addiction which lands him in a very tricky situation; as does Jason.
A difference between the two characters is that they are of different ages, meaning they approach the thrilling events that ensue in different manners, like Toby takes the brunt of the action and appears to be the underdog in the situation, whereas Jason is seen to handle his thrilling situations in a calm and professional manner, asserting his dominance on the way.
Both characters dress in similar ways in my opinion because they are trying to be discrete and trying to remain that way, hence why they both wear jeans, it's casual and practically everybody wears them. They both need to blend into their scenarios, Jason has casual clothes to easily blend into a crowd whilst Toby has a camo jacket to blend into his woodland background.
