How does your product represent particular social groups?
For our media product we wanted to create an international atmosphere. We cast our poker players from many different nationalities. We had nationalities ranging from Ukrainian, Nigerian, Russian, Korean and German. We wanted this atmosphere because of the stereotypical take the American media takes categorized ethnic gangsters. Because of this we are subverting to the society’s views on the look of people. In our final cut piece we did not use any dialogue, therefore the pinpointing of these nationalities was less than we wanted.
The look we wanted to our poker players is similar to the likes of Casino Royale where they also have a wide range of eastern European, African and oriental.
We did not single our any nationality as our main focus of attention was on the lead role and the significance of it being a woman. In most American media the ethnic gangster characters are seen as the ‘bad’ guy. Due to the media influence the Arabian as the terrorist figure.
