How does my media product represent particular social groups?













           The image on the left is of ‘The Boss’ from our film Organisation XIII and the image on the right is of Michael Corleone from ‘The Godfather’. These two characters radiate a certain authority and power just from the way they sit and their body actions.        
          Both characters are dressed in a formal suit complete with tie. This can represent power, wealth, business and authority. Both characters look very smart and sleek in appearance.  
          Both characters have a serious expression on their face which suggests they are serious about their job.  They could be seen as looking down on others which makes them seem superior.
         They both have similar roles within their film of mafia boss/ group leader.

       Differences between these characters can be the way their hair is styled. The character on the left has his hair brushed more to the left which makes him seem cool but serious. The character on the right has his hair gelled backwards which makes him appear very professional.
       The character on the left is wearing a black suit which makes him seem more sinister whereas the character on the right is wearing a tweed suit which makes him seem more upper-class.
        The body action of the character on the left shows he is more insecure than the character on the right as he is more confined to himself whereas the other character seems more open and relaxed.
