How does your media product represent particular social groups?



These are me and Matt as the henchmen in our opening for Mendacity and John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction. Our characters are similar to those in Pulp Fiction because we are both wearing black suits with black ties to show our formality but also convey a ruthless and violent side.

Both me and Matt's hair is quite long just like the characters in Pulp Fiction which shows that we are unkept and focus on the job at hand becuase we have no time to worry about ourselves which shows we are dedicated.

In our opening me and Matt are on a mission to collect a briefcase and securely deliver it to Mitch. This is very similar to the storyline in Pulp Fiction as John and Samuel have to take the case to Marsellus safely and they encounter a few problems but ultimately they do manage to deliver the case but in our opening we lose the case. This shows that we are dedicated to the job at hand and nothing crosses our minds until the job is finished.

There are some differences between me and Matt and Samuel and John such as in Pulp Fiction they use guns however me and Matt are not equipped with guns on our mission as it is seen as a straightforward mission with no threat.

Also in Pulp Fiction John and Samuel use sophisticated language to intimidate their enemies into submission however in Mendacity there is hardly any speech and we rely on our physical strength and image to scare our enemies away.
