How does your thriller represent particular social groups?

We have two main characters in our opening, both our main characters are British White Caucassian. In our opening we represent both male and female genders. The main character Eve is a petite white female, and suggests a slight femme fatale which is a convention of the thriller sub genre; film noir. In "the neurotic" we stick to the sterotype that women have less control, and their decissions are made be males. This is shown in our opening,as Eve is running away from her stalker who, although it was her choice to move away, her stalker forced her. Eves running away, represents her trying to get away, and start a new life, and escape her past. Our opening shows women to be weaker and inferior to men. However not necesarily more emotional, as Harleys character appears to be more emotionally unstable, with a much darker side. We tried to show this side, by using Chirascuro lighting, a technique used greatly in film noirs.

Eves character may also represnt a more alternative type of teenager. This is suggested through her black hair, and style of clothing (unknown band t-shirt, tight jeans). It could suggest that she doesnt want to conform to something. However it is not clear what that something is. Perhaps how her stalker wishes her to live, or behave.

In our opening "the neurotic" there is also a negative represntation of males. As our male lead is a physcotic stalker, who is prepared to make "the love of his life" suffer pain like him. Ultimately our thriller contrasts between genders rather than sterotypes, although both genders have been sterotyped. There is also a large contrast between the Villian (Harley) and seemingly innocent victim (Eve).
