Recently i have completed my third shoot where i filmed the body of the event , the antagonist, interacting with the house preparing to cause pain to the unsuspecting female. I left diagetic sound in one to heighten verisimilitude but it was an area that i wanted to improve on in that a small amount of on location diagetic sound can add to the escapism and believability on the film.
my film is shot from the walls point of view, the camera focuses on the male and presents the female as the victim which could be argued that it falls into the male gaze theory proposed by Laura Mulvey which suggest that the film industry is always filmed from the male perspective and portraying females as week and less of a social matter than men! Personally i chose the victium to be female purely because the male actor is a little over 6 ft and to have the smaller younger girl as the dominate one would seem un realistic, furthermore would subvert conventions of the genre, this example to me suggest that directors on the majority use actors and actresses that are convenient not so much to reflect dominance and a male gaze.
