Evaluation: Question 2 - Characters & Stereotypes

The screenshots above on the left show our thriller opening sequence and on the right is two films one called "Taken" and the other called "The Disappearance of Lenkawood".

Our thriller represents younger females to be more at risk and vulnerable, this is because the thrillers above show young females being kidnapped. This shows that women are predominantly more likely to be kidnapped, young women are also looked upon as sex objects which is why many women are kidnapped like the film "Taken" where a girl has been kidnapped and put into the prostitution industry.

The film Taken involves a young girl being kidnapped for money by selling her into the prostitution industry. Our film is closely linked as it involves kidnapping and holding a young female to ransom. This also shows that women have less power over men as these films are driven by male actors, the male actors provoke the films by kidnapping to try and make money. All three trillers above have dark scenes and show women to be powerless. This is shown where in my thriller has a girl with her mouth tired to take away her voice and where the woman in Lenkawood has her face covered, this shows that there voice and identity has been taken away showing them to be powerless and controlled.
The woman in this photo and the woman in our thriller both have plain dark clothing which can symbolise and show how women can all be the same and uniform. This also shows women to be objects and belongings to men. The dark colour of their clothing is symbolic of vulnerability and death which can foreshadow bad upcoming events like in Taken where the young girl is sold into prostitution.

Evidence of Editing












These are screen shot of us editing the footage. We've used things such as:
-Rendering the footage
-Getting sounds from YouTube witch was fine to use
-We had to make sure we timed the music with the sound correctly
-Fading in and out of the titles
-Placing the titles so they would be shown when we watch it in Quick Time
-Colour correct


We made sure we saved it every half an hour to prevent losing the footage while editing it.

Pre final edit - without corrections




This is the final edit of our opening sequence to a Thriller.
