In our film we have challenged forms of representation with the major challenge being the representation of gender. In most psychological thrillers gender is represented with the men being the villains and the women always seen as victims. However, our film challenges these forms with the first half of our film the male being portrayed as a victim with his ex girlfriend primarily the villain. In particular the scene where Alex tries to find out where Melissa is by asking her female friends, in this scene the females hold a lot of power over Alex by not telling him anything and just basically telling him to move on which makes him look submissive. At the end of the film the roles reverse and comply with the representations in a psycho thriller with Melissa seen lying dead beside Alex who is alive. This shows that he has murdered her and is the bad guy after all.
