Here is a typical example of a stereotypical tramp, who is

going to be one of the main characters in our video. As

you can see, his facial expression suggests he is not

happy , which links to the fact that he is homeless and

lonely. He is wearing old clothes that do not fit

him, suggesting he has no money to buy clothes that fit

him. He has an un nurtured beard and scruffy hair, which

suggests he has not washed in a while. He is also

smoking, which could be seen as a typical habit among

homeless people, as well as drug taking, and

drinking, therefore this represents him very well as being

a homeless person. Within our film, we will try to create

a homeless person with most of these features, therefore

they can be seen and recognised as a typical homeless

person.

Here is a stereotypical businessman at his desk in the office. You can see that

he is very well dressed, clean and smart. He is working on a computer at his

desk, which is seen as a typical activity at work. Other things that could be

used which would represent him as being a typical business man would be; a

cup of coffee or tea, shiny shoes, smoking a cigarette, a briefcase or a

satchel. We will try to incorporate all of these things when we create out

businessman character. We will also try and

show the audience that the he

is a stressed person, who doesn’t

care about anything else outside

his own little world, who has little

care for anyone else.

Within our final piece, we hope to show the differences between the two social

classes, by creating binary opposites of the two people, a homeless person and a

wealthy businessman.

To help represent this, we are also going to exaggerate the stereotype for each

character, so we do not have to explain to the audience who the characters both

are, we can just us the cultural code, where the audience will have a shared

understanding who is the homeless person, and who is the businessman.
