How will my film use/challenge conventions! (Planning)

Context

After doing research on representation, I realized I could plan out one CCR question based on my research. The CCR question is "How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?" I will be seperating the question into two and giving them it's own separate blogs. This one will be about how does my product use/challenge conventions? 

By planning this out early, it makes it much easier/simpler in the future to come up with an answer rather than forging one out. Not to mention, it just makes the entire process of scripting/screenwriting easier when I have a "guide". So, to simplify this product even further, I will look over films I have already discussed but in a new light, accordingly to the question.

CCR/SCRIPT PLANNING

Horror films frequently positions/presents women as victims, emotional, and/or powerless, so often it is almost instincts. I need to be careful so I do not copy these patterns by accident. At this stage, the goal is awareness not story details!

In order to use visuals (rather than words) to help further exemplify my idea, I want to make the most of framing! As I've stated before, Black Christmas (1974) often stays close to Jess's face (girl in still), showing her calmness under threat, her control. This film deliberately avoids sexual framing and challenges the convention of the helpless final girl.

Whereas, in jennifer's body, it shows how genre language can be reused with a different point of view. It offers a more direct reversal.

This film frames Jennifer usually in the center, and put men as reaction shots or off screen consequences. By doing so, it builds dominance through female presence and shows her control rather than suffering (to build sympathy). It gives the audience an expectation flip in a meaningful way.

My Planning!

My film will attempt to challenge conventions relating to how women typically act in horror films (challenging typical genre/gender conventions)! I will apply this by framing a woman in center and as composed/deliberate, it subconsiously shifts control of the frame/power. The male character(s) will exist as a secondary reaction. Thus, this discretely reverses familiar power dyamics without changing the original genre language. My film will challenge conventions by keeping power roles visually visible not explicitly explained!
