Representations and stereotypes in our film

The female protagonist will be shown in a stereo typical way, because the female protagonist will come across as very shy and will talk about her feeling and experiences that she has gone through in past. so the voice over will talk about how she has been moving schools, so she has never experience having close friends, as she keeps on moving around a lot. This shows the audience to feel sympathetic for her as she may not fit in as this has not been the first time of moving schools. The female protagonist will come across as vulnerable and innocent. Stereo typically women are presented as innocent and this case linking to the codes and convention of a romance film, we would expect the protagonist to be attractive looking, in which the audience will follow throughout the film.  The personality of the protagonist will be shown as they will come across usually as hard to get with as the male protagonist would usually be doing a lot, just by getting the female protagonist's attention. The costumes which the protagonist as show will be wearing a coat, this will show the audience that the female protagonist will have a hidden personality and its something that may be revealed through. from the audience analysis we found out the they would expect the female protagonist to be shy, cute and friendly, which in the opening we will be able to see a friendly side of the protagonist as she will talk to the friend and will show that they will get along in the film, So these expectations will be met in the opening as the protagonist will show this through the voice over as she interacts with audience telling them about her life.
The male protagonist will be shown in a stereo typically way, because we have represented him as confident and outgoing. This will be shown in the opening scene because the male protagonist will notice the female protagonist show that he makes the first move, which shows his confidence, which allows the audience to find out more about his personality. From the questionnaire analysis the public would expect the male protagonist to be flirtatious and friendly. This shows that audience's expectation of what the male protagonist's personality should be like. we will show small part of this in our opening scene, as this will create an enigma code for the audience, as they would expect a set personality for the protagonists, but would be revealed during the film. Stereo typically, the male protagonist would be represented for the audience to shown as attractive and strong, this will be shown from the appearance of him. The codes and convention of what the male protagonist should be like, is that they should come across as strong, usually quite dominant as they will come across as confident which the audience will expect to see within a romance film.
