Research into representational issues




We chose a youthful defenseless girl as our prey because in majority of films especially in horror films, women are shown as being pathetic and powerless rather than males. We obeyed the conventional structure of a horror film by choosing a young vulnerable girl who is unaccompanied in her house at night. It’s a typical way in which female gender is represented in the civilization. We also selected a girl because they are also seen as being sensitive and a bit irresponsible as well. Like in our sequence a girl hears the door banging and instead of calling for help she goes to open the door.




We selected male zombie again trailing the 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 known to be stronger and tougher than females.
