Activity 2 - How does your media product represent particular social groups?



Left: Saw Character                                                                                                                                             Right: My Character 

 This shows the similarities in my character from our opening sequence and a character from the first Saw film. There are many similarities, firstly, these are both victims in the film; they have both been taken to somewhere remote and isolated by an unknown villain. Slight difference is that my character is already dead where as the character in Saw is trapped. Another similarity is the clothes the two charcters are wearing, both in white t-shirts covered in blood. Also their faces are similar in which I mean they both have a pale complexion and and a black eye and they are also similar as they both have messy hair. Finally, the places they're in are very similar. You can see they are remote, all you can see behind them is tiles with blood.

In contrast to this, differences are; firstly, the character fom Saw is older than my character, I'm a teenager and teh character from Saw is in his 30's at least. Another main difference is that my character has been killed and the character from Saw is still alive. Finally, the character from Saw is in reach of a gun whereas mine isn't.
