Gender Representation In Our Film Opening

When discussing our characters right at the start of the term, we thought that it was important to challenge gender stereotypes in our film opening so we decided that having a female protagonist rather than male would help widen the audience interest. The teenage generation nowadays widely appreciates different genders having equal representation in films and in the media so we thought it was important as especially in a particular genres, such as thriller and horror, females tend to be represented as weak and dependent on men but we didn't want that so making our protagonist female would make our film more popular whilst also spreading the idealisms that gender equality is important.
