Chariss- Question Two

In question two i have uploaded a clip from Let Me In and underneath is a paragraph analysing the representation in the film to give me inspiration when filming. I have spoke about the age and gender.





This is a clip from 'Let me In', i have chosen this particular part because it shows the age and gender of the vampire and the victim.
Usually with most vampire films the main vampire is male aged 18 and above, for example Dracula and Twilight, but in this case they have challenged stereotypes of a 'vampire' and used a young girl aged 14. Also victims in the films are normally any age and gender, but by having a 14 year old girl vampire you would not expect a full drown man to be the victim, however the way she played the victim by pretending to be a victim shows she has a lot of power and can set anyone in her trap.
Males are known to be stronger, quicker and more athletic/fitter than girls, so this is common to make a male the attacker.
Females are said to be more vulnerable and have a lot less strength then men, so this is common for females to be the victim.
So by this clip totally swapping stereotypes, it shows that you do not need to be male and strong to be the attacker.

OUR FILM

Teenage Female Victim

Teenage Female Vampires

TWILIGHT

 Female Teenage Vampires.

Teenage female Victim.

In the film twilight there are female teenage vampires as well as male teenage vampires, so we decided to create a film having a number of female teenage vampires. Also our victim is female which is also shown in the film twilight, when Bella is fooled and attacked by a vampire as she tries to go save her mum at her old ballet school. In the film, the Twilight characters became very popular to viewers and people fell in love with each one of them, both male and female. We wanted to use girls in our film to show females have as much power as males.
