Gender.
Characters:
- Victim - Lucy Welling.
- Killer- Natalie Earle (Me)
My character challenges the traditional representation of the male characters being the antagonist. Females are usually represented in a very negative way in horror films - unintelligent, never survive. We decided to challenge this traditional representation and have a female murderer
Lucy's character portrays young teenage girls as being a victim and helpless in saving themselves and also that they are easy to take advantage of as during the film opening we learn that she is being followed and eventually will get murdered during the film. This goes along with the traditional representation of young girls in horror films being the victim and also one of the first of or the only ones to not survive.
