2. In my media product I used gender in a contemporary
style. For example, I dressed my character in jeans, trainers, a band t-shirt
with a jumper and a rucksack.
I did this so that my thriller opening was not like the
others and made into a noir thriller type of film. I wanted mine to be
different and try different things so that I would be happy with the final
outcome. Having her in a band t-shirt shows that she is a modern day character
and challenges the look of most great thrillers with the exception of a few
thrillers like the girl with the dragon tattoo and Thelma and Louise which are
modern greats.
Her look is more of a realistic type because I thought that
if I made her into a noir thriller look it would not seem realistic enough and it
would not suit my train of thought and what not follow what I would want her to
look like. I used a female as the main character because that is what is mainly
used in thriller films over the years and those films have been the successful
ones. I dressed her in these clothes because that’s what most people in today’s
society would associate and relate to; they would relate to this through the
style of clothing and the band on the front of the t-shirt which is quite
popular amongst teenagers in today’s world. This would allow them to access a
mutual relationship with the character and empathise with them.
