Ideology

The messages we are sending out to our audience, are mainly binary oppositions. For example, good vs. evil. We are also representing the female as the dominant character of the text, instead of the typical expectations of a male being the dominant character. Our stereotypical "blonde bimbo", (Rose) who is currently with the male character (Spencer), is typically represented alike to today's youth, due to the mise en scene of the text (cuddling infront of the television.) We also would like to emphasize on the fact that the real world have fear of death and the unknown and we are trying to portary this in our opening sequence by showing that the girl is scared of something that she has seen but is not entirely sure what it is. It follows some dominant ideologies that it is good vs evil, but as we do not know the outcome it could offer a different alternative ideology by having a different ending to most of the common thrillers. Also another alternative ideology it offers is that the protagonist is a female, where as in most films the protagonist is a male as they seem the most dominant. We did this to reject some of the typical conventions of this type of genre.
