BLACKOUT - FINAL SEQUENCE

Preliminary Task - Final Cut

Friday, March 26, 2010

Focus on GENDER:

The villain in our sequence is very stereotypical, driving a car, armed with a handgun, fighting and knocking out his target.
However, our hero could also be classed as the victim in this scene and therefore does not conform to the stereotypical young male...

He is:
  • scared
  • tired
  • foolish

    Typically females are the victims, for example in horror films such as:
    The female is cast as the victim - this is the stereotypical role for the female to take when there is a victim involved as they are made to seem vulnerable and helpless. However we used a male as the victim which goes against conventions of real media.
