1. Character Representation

2. Charlie This relates directly to the idea of gender representation within media, and how it differs from the real world. We chose this character profile in order to conform with the forms and conventions of a British gangster film. Our opening features one female, and she appears in Charlie's scene. Similar to female representation in other British gangster films, she is imaged as an 'object' and as a 'prize'. We decided that she would be the only female in the opening, and that her portrayal would be like this.

3. Cookie He is wearing a Ralph Lauren polo top which represents his urban gangster look. He has the traditional look for a character in a British Gangster Film. His hair represents his scruffy lifestyle. His posture and emotion reinforces gangster look

4. Eason The voiceover is the primary source of this particular representation. However, appearance also contributes to the representation. We were influenced by past media products, such as films and television programmes. When planning, we decided on one character to be the tough, bodyguard type figure of the group and Eason fits the part. We thought that a big, black male should play the part of the tough man. He is represented as the tough one of the group.

5. Marco Foreigners in a British Gangster Film hasn't been done yet in a real media product. His watch represents his organizational skills His posture represents his sly and mischievous character and devious persona Our product differentiates from others as we included a foreigner (Marco) as a gang member His unbranded clothes shows that he doesn't care about his appearance like the other characters

6. ARCHIE He appears in the final scene of the opening to reveal himself Our main protagonist is represented as a no nonsense boss from the east end of London. His voice is featured throughout the voiceover We used stereotypical language in the voiceover. Uses phrases which make him out to be similar to the typical gangster boss that you see in other products.
