Jack Barber (Last Man Standing)
Jason Statham (Snatch)
When we were in the early stages of Character planning we really looked to portray the main character in a dominant way. We wanted some one who fitted the typical Gangster genre conventions but at the same time defined themselves as a unique individual. We took inspiration from such films as Snatch (Turkish - seen above), Lock Stock and two smoking barrels and Reservoir Dogs. Jason Statham for example is a cool headed, smooth talking man of grit, and this is how we wanted the audience to se our main character.
Appearance/Costume:
Similarities
- Both men are wearing bland clothing which could suggest they are not too critical of how they look. This could also show that they don't care what other people think of them
- Their body language signifies that they are in control. This suggests that they have very dominant personalities. This is also key to the narrative as it implies they are of significant importance in the story.
- Facial expression - Both men have a cold stare. This shows that they are deadly serious about the information in which they expressing.
Role in Film:
- Both Characters have significant roles in the film. They are both narrating about the events unfolding in the scene. This appeals to the audience as it feels like the characters are directly addressing them. This also allows the spectator a clear insight into the narrative.
- They are both main characters, front men, protagonists. This lets the viewer follow their personal story as it runs along side the main narrative.
