How does your media product represent particular social groups?
A comparison of the green soldier and Tom Hanks from Saving Private Ryan.
Costume: they are both wearing army uniform to signify that they are soldiers. They wear it proudly during combat to represent the side they are fighting for.
Body language: They are both trained soldiers and are wielding a firearm. It looks as though they are ready to take the shot and wont hesitate, they are soldiers and that is what is required of them.
Role: They both play the role of a soldier. Whereas tom hanks portrays the role of a leader the green soldier displays more of a lone wolf archetype.
Dialogue: Tom hanks is an active soldier and needs to have command of the group but there is no dialogue coming from the green soldier which suggests he is not a normal field soldier and there is something secret about him which may or may not be revealed.
Make up: They need to look like they have endured hardship and struggle because they are soldiers. Tom hanks is covered in dirt and blood showing he has been through a tough series of circumstances, the green soldiers uniform and face show how the environment and survival have taken its toll on him.
Props: They look almost the same wearing a green uniform and wielding a trusty pistol which their lives depend on. They look seasoned and ready to pull the trigger.
Both characters are in the group: hardy soldiers. They play the role of a serious soldier who know the meaning of combat they hold their weapons close and their expressions show that they are always looking out for the enemy and ready to shoot.
