Violence against women

Throughout our research we did come across the issue that women are always targeted and we noticed that it wasn't just in film but in everyday life as well. To maintain the film noir look we did include several dead female characters as this was the norm in the 1950's but to challenge the violence against women we also incorporated several dead male characters to make sure that we do not discriminate against one particular gender.

Violence against women is a very serious topic and our 16th shot shows a female character being 'stabbed to death' however we are going to ammend this shot by showing a shadow or silhouette of the action in order to not offened any body whilst they watch our trailer.

We have at this time already drawn and taking the photographs for our storyboard and are therefore going to leave them how they are. The storyboards state that the female character will be stabbed but this will not be the case and we will in fact show the shadow or silhouette as we have stated.
