during actions films they tend to vary the representation of males and females. males are portrayed to be more 'masculine' than females, they are seen as independent individuals who turn out to be the 'hero' of the movie . for our film we will only be using males so we will try to aim for these qualities. There is the stereotypical conventions of a male in action films and they are as followed:
- physically powerful
- mentally powerful
- have a good physique
- sexually attractive (in some cases)
- independent
- young (in some cases)
then there is the representation of females. females are portrayed to be quite weak and look up to the male. but in same cases (mostly action) such as the avengers the female is seen to have masculine abilities. There are no females present in film so we aren't targeting any of these qualities. Apart from some rare occasions females are stereo typically meant to be:
- weak
- attractive
- sexual objects
- caring towards the male
for our opening scene we will be using all male actors so we will aim to identify them by the characteristics above. some will have a good physique such as Azan in order to add action (parkour) into our opening and to seem like the stereotypical 'muscle' of the gang. some members might show some feminine characteristics such as being weak in order to show them as a less dominant member of the gang ( eg. joe/mohammed )
