We decided to make the film focus on representations
of age and gender. Our main protagonist is a male, young adult.
We wanted David to come across as intelligent, challenging the negative stereotypes of young adults.
We showed this as he is a very intelligent person by
knowing how to hack into a corrupt organisation for the “greater good”.
Saying this, we still connoted his age through his inexperience
as at the end of the opening sequence he fell into a trap.
Capture Scene
In our opening sequence we didn't include any female actresses, this was only the case as the scene in the opening would come again later on the film after the '24 hours' has been replayed and would explain where the main female actresses were. For this reason we did not need to think about challenging or confining to stereotypes woman have. Had we included our main female protagonist in this opening sequence she would have challenged negative stereotypes of being the 'damsel in distress' and instead make quick, on spot decisions to help take down the organisation. This would appeal to our secondary TA of women as they are being represented positively and could be aspirational.
