I shall explain how our media product represents particular social groups. Our media product, the film Royal Flush, represents white working class males, the mafia, gamblers and criminals.
Our media product represents white working class males with the characters Jason, the main character, played by Scott Cawkwell and the two Bodyguards Derek and Graham which are played by Ian Slade and Alex Wright. These characters represent white working class males as bodyguards are associated with this background and also Jason is not a very rich man who also has a job outside the film so he can be classed in the category of white working class males.
The Royal Flush can also represent the social group of the mafia with the character Mr Kowalski or The Boss. This character is meant to pursue the profile of a very important and wealthy mafia boss which could also be linked to crime, guns and money. To show that Mr Kowalski is a very important and powerful man he has his own bodyguards and owns the poker club in which one of the scenes is set in.
The social group of gamblers is represented by three characters in our film, Jason, Mr Kowalski and Derek. This is shown in the poker scene in which we see all of these characters taking part in a poker match which is gambling as poker involves betting money. Also the poker club could also suggest our film represents the social group of gamblers.
Lastly the social group of criminals is represented by Jason as we see him cheating and also running away with money. Jason resembles this group as he is being chased by the two bodyguards Derek and Graham. We see him cheating in the poker match by dropping a card and replacing it with another and also as we see him running away with a briefcase full of money.
