Within the first two minutes of our media product, the audience are only shown 'Damion', our main character of the movie 'Premonition'. 'Damion' represents stereotypes as he is young, blonde haired and blue eyed and seems quite a cheeky younge man'. He represents young, hard working men and this is represented through the use of the suit he wears in the opening sequence. To follow this representation when he wakes up he activly takes part in a younge mans typical 'everyday' activities, and these activities include eating breakfast, and getting dressed into his suit. These activities add to the fact that many people of his age group, which are our target audience, would do these activities. They would be able to relate to him, as he would be doing the same things as them.
Our media product, 'Premonition' also challenges many gender stereotypes, as the predominant character would be a female, and she would usually be the victim and targeted. The beginning of our movie was influenced by 'Alice in Wonderland', and our actor, Ryan Clark, who played 'Damion' is similar to the typical connotations of 'Alice' due to the blonde hair and the wearing of the colour blue. The stereotypes were challenged in our opening sequence, because we had the victim as a male, as apposed to a female.
