How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In this clip selected from The Walking Dead we see the 'lone cop' character on the left drinking with another man. The lone cop is also rugged, similar to my character in Dead Night. The room is dimly lit with ambient lighting and the characters are drinking whiskey, all of which is similar to my own production. The lone cop character is left of frame with the whiskey central.

In this film Zombieland a 'lone hero' type character is present, similarly to my own character. Both are shown to be wearing; similar black jackets, carrying weapons, and have rugged facial hair.

Although this film contains four protagonists, my film opens with only one. Zombieland also only opens with one protagonist, and he eventually meets the rest to form a group.

My film Dead Night leaves the potential for meeting more characters as we have a cut in shot of a photo frame containing a picture of himself with four other friends, suggesting a possible route for the storyline.
