In our film opening they were shown going to a children's park area at night, whilst there they were drinking alcohol illegally. This shows an interesting contrast between them as young children but wanting to be older by doing adult things such as drinking alcohol. This conforms to the dominate ideology that teenagers are rebels and don't do what they are told but also shows them as vulnerable as they have this treat of the doll which the audience connotes is killing them.
We also challenged the stereotype of women being weak and passive, as the last survivor in our film opening is a female. Having a female as the main protagonist challenges the dominate ideology of men being strong and brave as this is the typical characteristics of a man. Although her being the last survivor shows she is strong, she is also shown to cry and call for help by dialling 999 which makes her seem weak but also practical.
We represented the doll as quite young and playful this makes a contrast between her acts and the way she looks. She looks innocent and not old enough to be able to do such evil acts. This is a representation of a women's mental state as women are thought to be all over the place and very emotional. The doll in our film is a physical statement of this.
