Evaluation; Q2 How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?

After looking for characters from thriller movies that are in some ways similar to one of the characters in our opening title sequence, i came up with Roger Moore as James bond in the 1981 movie "For your eyes only" not only are some of the characters similar, but in many ways the plot of the film is similar ans they involve missing/stolen documents. And in some ways the Bond collection of movies inspired us.

Both Bond and our character, "Cohen", are clearly presented in smart business like suits. This clearly shows that each of the characters have some status and wealth in their fields of works. In this case both being types of government agents.
Their clean cut hair and sharp clothing suggest their character personality; sharp and witty. Both characters are seen, in my point of view as friendly and welcoming people. Even though Bond is pointing a gun, but in comparison to Cohen (holding an innocent looking briefcase) seems slightly threatening.



Another character inspired from a movie is the unknown spy. Even though Jason Bourne in the movie "The Bourne Identity" is seen as the "good guy", our "bad guy" is show to be very similar in a number of ways. One main way would be the clothing our spy wears; dark and very sleek clothing which looks rather suspicious to many.
