There are two main characters in my film, they are the female Victim and the Killer. I included a killer because within every thriller film there is always a killer/ bad guy nobody knows who the killer is which is what we wanted to happen because it makes him seem mysterious and creepy. So to meet a convention of a thriller I decided to incorporate a killer. The second character was a female victim, a female victim is a conventon of a thriller film and we stereotyped her in the way she dressed, in the first scene she is seen wearing pyjamas which makes her seem vulnerable and innocent. this was because we had already thought of a killer so we had to have a victim that he could go after, we first come up with the idea of having a male victim but after thinking about it we decided to use a female victim because it is conventional to a thriller and she will seem more vulnerable and make it more scary by making her scream louder and make more of a scene.
The gender of the two characters is represented in a stereotypical way because the killer is a boysterious male which is stereotypical because they are seen as the more aggressive and dangerous gender. Using a female victim is stereotypical also because they are perceived as a vulnerable person and will worry in situations , and also that they will be targeted by men. We chose a female victim because there seen as the weaker gender so therefore the audience can then relate to the opening scene.
Our characters will appeal to our audience because they are very conventional to a thriller genre so when they read up about the clip they will instantly want to see it because of the type of clip it is going to be.
Your analysis of question 1, demonstrates minimal understanding of how your thriller represents particular social groups. You have made a start in describing two of your main characters, but you have not considered your choices and decisions behind representing them in a certain way and how it would appeal to your target audience.
