This document discusses how different social groups are represented in a media production. It focuses on the main character Sally Blunt, an ex-FBI agent who is female, independent, confident and trained. This challenges thriller conventions by having a female protagonist. The production drew inspiration from films like Kill Bill. The villains in the production are a group of masked, dangerous and sly males wearing dark clothing to blend in. Their masks create a secret identity and mystery, while their confidence makes them unnerving. Inspiration for the villains came from Batman.

Sally Blunt

4. We used a female roll for main character, This challenges the Thriller
codes and conventions and shows originality in our production, due to
main roles and hero's in thrillers being mostly males. Our inspiration
came from Kill Bill, where she is a action fighting hero who wants
revenge.
We made our character have no dialogue and this creates mystery and
let the audience concentrate on her actions and facial expression's
rather than what she might say. We wanted sally to be an ex- FBI agent
as we didn’t want her to come as a victim and let the audience know of
her past and her skills in fighting just like the Bourne legacy and Kill Bill.
We got out inspiration for our mise
en scene from Kill Bill also where
the hero wears jeans and a leather
jacket.

6. We decided to used a group of villains to make our film more intense
and create and feeling of no escape, popular in common code and
conventions of thrillers. We also used masks to create secret identities
and keep an air of mystery about the villains. they all wore dark
clothing so they could blend into the shadows and create the contrast
of good and evil.
They also were very confident and had sly moments and this makes
them seen unnerving as it makes they seen that they will reach there
target no matter what.
We wanted to use masks for
our villain and our
inspiration came from
batman and this creates the
convention of hiding identity
