Gender
For our production we decided to hold the representation of the stereotypical 'damsel in distress' by having the female protagonist kidnapped by an all male team of antagonists.
However the female protagonist strikes the man which challenges the 'week woman' cliche that you tend to see in normal 'damsel in distress' type scenarios.
We portrayed our female character on a very strong independent woman who wouldn't go without a fight, who persists escape in situations that seem impossible to escape from.
The male characters in our opening sequence are your average team of antagonists the driver, leader and the muscle. We can see what there roles are by acting in various different ways. They don't say anything the whole time and they always act calm, which shws us that they are professionals.
Gender as a whole in our sequence is fitting the general scheme of an average stereotype however in certain cases it is challenged which will hopefully provide relation to the a vaster percentage of our audience.
Good work Tommy, a clear rationale for your representations and a working understanding of stereotypical gender roles. Target: Develop a passive writing style that is formal and less 'chatty'- we can work on some examples.
