Our film challenges gender stereotypes by featuring a strong, independent, and physically fit female CIA agent as the main character. She serves as a contrast to the traditional damsel in distress trope. The character is modeled after tough female leads portrayed by actresses like Megan Fox, Jennifer Lawrence, and Angelina Jolie in action films. While the male characters initially fit the stereotype of strong, masculine robbers, the film subverts expectations when the female agent is able to physically overpower one of the men. Overall, the film aims to represent modern women as empowered and capable rather than defined by their relationships to men.

2. Gender:Female
Our film challenges the traditional stereotype of a woman. The
traditional stereotype of a woman in a film would be the damsel in
distress, we have challenged this as Stella(Agent Monroe) is a trained
agent who is independent and goes to the gym regularly. We based
the character of Agent Monroe on strong female characters such
Megan Fox in ‘Transformers’ and ‘Jennifer's body’ and Angelina Jolie
in ‘Tomb Raider’ and ‘Salt’. In ‘Salt’ Angelina Jolie plays Evelyn Salt
who is a CIA agent who is accused of being a Russian spy, she beats
up and even kills several people who get in her way i a manner in
which she is still calm and cool.
The reason why films with female lead characters have been
successful is because they have something for both genders for men
to look at as a ‘sex object’ and for women to ‘idolise’. We decided
Stella would be good as our main character as she is a strong willed
independent woman.

Modern woman

4. Gender:male
Our film both supports and challenges the traditional man
stereotype as the men are robber so they are meant to come across
as big and strong, it also supports the stereotype of a man as they
are robbing a house in the middle of the night. However our film
also challenges the stereotype as one man gets beaten up by Agent
Monroe.
