I wanted to represent women differently to the media stereotype by having a woman as the main character of an action film and as the hero. Proops theory says that there are certain character involved such as a villain and hero. A stayed with conventions when choosing a man as the villain because in most action film men are the villain and they are stereotypically more violent then women. I wanted a woman as the hero because I wanted to show that women can be the hero and can have

The main character in my opening is represented to be middle class because she is meant to be an undercover spy and this is a well-paid job and in films is shown to be very rich. The clothing and the environment doesn’t look to be of middle class because she is hiding out in a forest and in camouflaged clothing, however because she is shown to be the “hero” I think it links to middle class.
The villain in my opening is represented to be of a criminal class because he (The villain is played by a girl but id meant to be a man) is a “hitman” who is paid to girl people. The clothing that he is wearing is meant to show that he is a criminal by the hoody and the dark clothing. Looking at different films, the villains are usually wearing dark clothing and wearing hoody’s can be associated with criminals.

Age
The characters in my opening are young because action films mainly show young people because of the physical challenges that are presented in an action film. Link to information: http://audiences.visualdna.com/visualdna/audience/entertainment/action_movie_lovers
Looking at this website the age group that will watch my opening would be in the age range of 18-44. The age that I wanted the main character to be about 20 because they’re the most active according to https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/137986/tp-adult-participation-sport-analysis.pdf .The villain was meant to look older but still younger than 30 to stay with the idea that he was a hitman.
This represented the adults as being the villain and there fighting against teenagers. This is usually in the reverse or shown as the teenagers being the “villain”. Also my final product represents teenagers as being the “hero”.
