What social groups are we concerned with?


Gender

•My protagonist depressed male going through a mid-life crisis. His marriage is struggling and he goes to the bar to drown his sorrows in beer. He skulks into the room and has very monotone, low voice that he speaks in. He's dressed in a messy suit that isn't tucked and is a relatively good looking man.

•The bartender is an older man who is typically harsh. On top of that he’s a large man in terms of height and weight.

Age

•My lead protagonist is a middle aged, bored of his marriage due to the length of time he has been unhappy.

•The bartender is around his 60s and is also a white male. He’s a typical hardy old fashioned bartender and runs his bar with a baseball bat beside him.

•Age may be hard to portray as my actors are only my age (16) and wont be able to look much

          older

Ethnicity

•Both of the main characters are white however the bartenders American while the protagonist is British. The British man seems like a more reserved and less talkative man than the bartender who is a man who speaks his mind when he feels he needs to.

•This stereotypes both characters to their countries as Americans are known to be loud and brash whereas British people are known to be far more silent.

Sexuality

•The protagonist is married with children, therefore he’s not homosexual.

• At the end it is implied that the Bartender is the one with a daughter who was kidnapped therefore he is also proven to be heterosexual. He also is very manly and is the typical heterosexual man

Class and Status

•Both of the two lead roles are middle class as they both earn (or to the depressed man earned) a stable wage. As the main part of the short film takes place in the bartender’s property, the bartender will have dominance over the depressed man.
