I produced a rainforest running game and I created a dominant signifying image that was feminine. Lara Croft was the inspiration for the character created. The feminine domain o my character can be shown in her appearance, but not in her posture or animation due to me not producing that yet. Her minimal clothing on the upper part of her body can suggest that she is a female character additionally. I believe that this choice of clothing is not arguable against, however it could be seen as an appealing choice of clothing based on the fact her torso, arms and collarbone area are on show. I designed her with a strong build to represent her adventurousness and defiance of weakness, as for someone to go on a mission as dangerous as this, you must have attainment of fitness skill.

Laura Mulvey argues women in cinema are designed to be objectified and looked at, however my design of my character is not designed under this intent. The choice of combat trousers relating to ‘ a male soldier’ over shorts defy the idea of a sexualising character. I think the idea of using a female character in my game, a person of whom has to complete minacious obstacles represents a strong idea of the female persona. Traditionally a male is seen to be the only one who could go on the missions in order to retrieve whatever the reward will be, whether that’s the riches or the ‘damsel in distress’. Instead the woman is retrieving the treasure for her village, with no mention of the male input.
