First viewing of Jack (Lost)

Watching a short clip at the start of lost ans concentrating on jack as a character, below are what we saw from him and how his personality come across to us the audience.

• Brave
• Caring
• Wants to help
• Hero- saving woman by using CPR
• Goes into survival mode- looking around everywhere
• At first he walks around as though he is a clumsy character and then once he has found everyone he becomes focussed
• Director wants us to see him as the hero by staying on him and seeing him look out himself and all others around him
• Reassures people
• Becomes the one everyone rely's on
• Looks after himself last
• Thinks ahead- keeps the alcohol for wounds instead of drinking it 
• Makes us (the audience) feel sort of safe
• We trust him as a good guy as all we have seen from him has been good
• Try's to calm and comfort people around him- this also makes the audience feel a bit more calmer about the situation that is happening
• He see's saving people more as normal than something special as that is what his job includes- he holds his fear in
• When we see him first as he stands up and pulls the bottle of alcohol out from his pocket we think of him as an alcoholic
• well off- he is wearing a suit and looks to be a clean and tidy person
• Young and attractive- audience will respond to him more
• People in the clip respond to him more when they know that he is a doctor
• He is more injured than we first think
• At the beginning he looks to be vulnerable- camera shot is birds-eye view
• Looks as though he is waking up- his pupils change
• Jungle setting- lost
• Camera viewing on the ground make the audience see it from jacks point of view
