In The movie Shutter Island they used Split personality main character , Thus the Main character has ambiguous personality. patelmosam555 https://padlet.com/patelmosam222/qps9t8dxj1l5/wish/169078874 We really liked that idea so we decided to further develop it and create our own ambiguous character, Which was very successful as audience liked the ambiguity and suspense.]]> 2017-04-30 20:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/patelmosam222/qps9t8dxj1l5/wish/169078874 patelmosam555 https://padlet.com/patelmosam222/qps9t8dxj1l5/wish/169078883 2017-04-30 20:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/patelmosam222/qps9t8dxj1l5/wish/169078883 we based our story on a true incident that took place in 2002 where 2 young girls 10 years old got murdered by Ian Huntley who was a caretaker. Thus a working class man. We therefore decided to use similar character to Ian Huntley who is represented by our protagonist patelmosam555 https://padlet.com/patelmosam222/qps9t8dxj1l5/wish/169078898 2017-04-30 20:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/patelmosam222/qps9t8dxj1l5/wish/169078898 Class patelmosam222 https://padlet.com/patelmosam222/qps9t8dxj1l5/wish/169080489 The occupation of our protagonist is a janitor . This kind of job is often associated with a working class person. Furthermore we used props such as bucket and and a janitor badge to highlight his lower class background and how he was living in poverty.This will make our audience feel sympathy for his as generally lower class people are looked upon by the higher classes in the society. This will mean that our audience will feel remorse with him and with sympathise with him. This will mean that audience will expect him to be innocent and not expect him to be a murderer.]]> 2017-04-30 21:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/patelmosam222/qps9t8dxj1l5/wish/169080489 Representation of Gender patelmosam222 https://padlet.com/patelmosam222/qps9t8dxj1l5/wish/169087266 We used a male character to play a role of responsible father who goes out to look for her daughter. This is very stereotypical as normally males are very protective and We used a male character to play a role of responsible father who goes out to look for her daughter. This is very stereotypical as normally males are seen very protective and in fact by going out and looking for his daughter is associated with their manliness and strength comparing to mother /women who is seen as a weaker gender in the society. This also links in with presenting our main character , a male and presenting him as a murderer too. Stereotypically males are seen as violent, aggressive and therefore associated with criminal acts such as murder or kidnapping. But also in reality news stories and reports majority of kidnappers are males.]]> 2017-04-30 22:55:42 UTC https://padlet.com/patelmosam222/qps9t8dxj1l5/wish/169087266 Representation of Age patelmosam222 https://padlet.com/patelmosam222/qps9t8dxj1l5/wish/169089524
Age is represented by the the mise en scene . The costume of our character was deliberately chosen to represent  teen age  . He is wearing a black ripped jeans with black shoes and black jacket, which is stereotypically worn by teen ager. We have further presented him as a young dad which adds up more social pressure on him. Stereotypically teen agers are seen to be immature however we challenged it and presented our character as young father who is involved in mystery of his daughter and works in school . This characteristics are more like an adult then teenager. ]]> 2017-04-30 23:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/patelmosam222/qps9t8dxj1l5/wish/169089524
