Since we didn't have a girl in our group to be our victim we had Cara Gaffney portray the role of a young vulnerable female which is very stereotypical, implying that being a female you are automatically vulnerable and a member of the inferior gender group. Since our killer is a masked man (Daniel Armstrong) it underpins the representation that a male killer is very intimidating and powerful which is conventional to thrillers, as well as making sure to be mysterious to conceal his identity. We chose to have the killer target their victim in a well-lit area and carry out the kidnapping there to show him as being ruthless and fearless, making him a more feared villain by the audience.
The victim's boyfriend is shown to be a commanding, bold, masculine character, when he is gone the killer strikes which emphasizes that the killer strikes when she is most vulnerable, walking home in the dark. This makes it relatable for the audience. We used a young, blonde female because it is conventional to the thriller genre and it is stereotypical for females to be vulnerable.
