Research into representational issues

WHY WE CHOSE A GIRL AS OUR VICTIM?
We chose a young vulnerable girl as our victim because in most films especially horror films females are shown as being weak and defenceless rather than men. We followed the conventional structure of a horror film by choosing a young vulnerable who is alone in her house at night. It’s a typical way how female gender is represented in the society. We also chose a girl because they are also seen as being sensitive and a bit dumb as well. Like in our sequence a girl hears the door banging and instead of calling for help she goes to open the door.       
                                                                        WHY CHOOSE A MALE ZOMBIE?We chose male zombie again following conventional structure of a horror film. According to most horror films the antagonist is a male and they go on killing people and male zombies are stronger and tougher than females so it is difficult to tackle them or kill them.
