In this video I talk about the conventions of a thriller film that I challenge.
Summary of what I say in the video:
I do not challenge character conventions, as i use girls to be murdered which is quite a generic idea for murder films. The girls i used are around the age of 16 and 17, so again, the age that thriller movies usually use. such as;
knock knock
In taken - his daughter
Girl on the train.
I represent different social groups by using different girls with different hobbies, such as one of the girls likes to walk their dogs, where one of the girls likes to swim.
I tackle the issue of rape without explicitly showing someone being raped. I used women as before i filmed i found out about the terrible statics of that 1 in 6 women are raped or attempted to be raped. 90% of rape of victims are also women, which is why i use all girl characters in my thriller opening.
Here is my video, with a voice over explaining how I challenge conventions and represent social groups and issues in my thriller film:
