The Representation Of Gender And Ethnicity In The Thriller Genre

Representations

Overtime the representations of certain genres have changed massively, and example of the types of genres that have changed are Horror and Thriller. Overtime many of these horror and thrillers have created many stereotypes and example of a character that is stereotyped is Dracula.

Dracula  is a very well known character in the world of thrillers and horrors, he is shown most of the time as a white male that has large fangs instead of normal teeth . The character is also shown to be really tall and wear a very long black over coat and live in castle.

Cultrial Bias - Most Actors  are white but there is a small amount of black characters that are main characters in films, for example people that are used in main films are will smith and Morgan Freeman.

Gender Bias - Most thrillers have female victim in the film that cannot be trusted in the films an example of a film that does this Friday The 13th.

Heterosexual Bias -  Homosexual, lesbians  are rarely seen on the scenes of Hollywood, but sexual killers have homosexual tendencies (dark characters)

Synopsis

       Diamant Synopsis

• Director- Jordan Cunningham 
• Femme Fatale-
• Detective- Thomas Hendry  
• Victim- Jordan Twiggs

Plot

A woman wants revenge on her former husband, and so she claims that he stole her jewellery from her apartment, which is worth millions of pounds. The femme fatale then goes to the detective explaining her story blaming it on her former husband. The detective claims that he will try and put a case together for her. The plot then is left on a cliff hanger  to whether the woman gets found out for blaming it on the man or whether the man gets punished and arrested for his actions and the woman wins.

Location

Birmingham - with establishing shots at the start to set the scene and let the audience know where the film is taking place. We can do this by showing some iconic buildings in the city centre of Birmingham for example the Bull Ring. We have chosen this location for the film as there are many unique features for the film to take place.

Characters

In the film we have three main characters that are in it, like any other normal film noir we will have three main characters and they are: Femme Fatale, Detective, Victim. We are using these sorts of characters to create a hook for the people watching the film. When using these characters it shows the audience that it is a traditional film noir as most of the film noirs that were made used these types of characters.
