Representations in our film and stereotyping

To make our film more realistic we have included some stereotypes and representations to make our opening scene more realistic. We have also included stereotypes because fans recognize these stereotypes and it will appeal to them more.

White British Protagonist
Stereotypical Representations:
- Affluent
- Educated
- Socially Awkward
- Restrained
- Moral
- Rational
- Arrogant
- Repressed

In our film we have a White British male protagonist. This will appeal to the audience because it makes the main protagonist more appealing. If our main protagonist was to subvert some of these stereotypes (e.g Intelligent) then it would make our protagonist less appealing.

East Asian Antagonist
Stereotypical Representations:
- Intelligent
- Hard Working
- Determined
- Sinister
- Martial Arts
- Obsessed with electronics
- Quirky
- Physically Weak
- Ruthless
- Lacking Emotion
- Submissive women

In our film we have a East Asian male antagonist. This will appeal to our audience because stereotypically East Asian people know martial arts, are ruthless and lack emotion. We have displayed these stereotypes by having our East Asian antagonist start a fight with someone (our protagonist).
