Our thriller opening is very male dominated this is because our storyline only includes males and there are no female actors. We didn’t purposely use just male actors, but males fitted our storyline better as they are in a gang representing that they are criminals. We didn’t plan on omitting females we thought that males would suit our characters and storyline better than females because of how males are differently represented and seen compared to females. The unintended male domanice that is included in other thrillers as well as ours, for example, the Bourne films, show that female omitting happens a lot in the thriller genre because males fit the role of the characters well.
In our thriller, we do not have a proportional representation of society because are characters are all a similar age. Two active characters are in their young 20’s whereas the other is 30, so there is only a slight age gap. Therefore youth dominate our thriller and represented as a stereotypical view of teenagers and young adults. Also what the characters wear suggest their criminality, but these characters do not represent all youth of society. We used the actors because they were convenient and fitted into our thriller as youths and the representation of youths. I think the our representation of youths is quite negative, but I don't think our film is suggesting that all youths act in this way. In our thriller the representation of youths in quite similar to the representation youths in Kidulthood, but I think this appeals to our target audience because the youths watching can see how others youths act and identify with the characters and be a part of the film. In a lot of films today youth is represented similarly to ours, so I do not think the audience will be shocked and may expect to see our representation of youths.
In our thriller a big representation of a social group is family. The whole storyline is based on family and therefore it is one of our main themes. The aim of our main character was to get revenge on the man that killed his twin brother, our whole storyline emphasis the importance of family. In thriller family isn't a issue usually stereotyped and if it is it is usually stereotyped as family being enemies.
