Genre - character types


My protagonist will be:
  • Strong
  • Female
  • 17-18
  • Independent
  • Indie
She will not convene to Laura Mulvey's 'Male Gaze Theory' in which there is explicit evidence of examples of women being presented as sexual objects in the media, through the use of camera movement and shot types. The main focus' are 
  • How men look at women
  • How women view themselves 
  • How women see other women
I want to not have the protagonist to be part of the male gaze theory and not to be seen as a sexual object, like in most other media products for example the trailer for sex tape, in which camera angles, shots and movement are used to show the female protagonist as a sexual object. 



In my media product my protagonist will follow the conventions of a male instead of a female, in which the the female will have male protagonist characteristics of bravery, mental strength and power over the other characters in the media product. Although the male will also portray this just not as shown as much as the female protagonist.
