Laura Mulvey - Theory

Laura Mulvey's theory suggests that women are portrayed as objects in film and that they are seen from a heterosexual male perspective, the camera would focus on female parts of the body like hips or legs which would be taken into view sexually and possibly stereotyping. This could apply to our trailer as the main victim in the film is a female character, this could be seen as a stereotypical damsel in distress type character which also connotes innocence towards the female character. Because our character is based around the age of 17 we didn't portray her in Mulvey's vision but instead leaned more towards the innocence side and the typical damsel in distress.
