Film Manifesto

Rolled words – Repetition, Everyday and Play

Gender Stereotypes

Snapshot through chronological order of the day with the female playing traditional female roles and male playing male roles

Visual – Use split screen, with female playing female role on left side – keeping the left side pink clothing themed, and then after male playing male role on right – keeping the right side blue clothing themed

Half way through film (45 seconds) do role reversal and have male playing female role still on left side, and then have the woman playing the male role on the right side – with both the outfit colours then also matching with the reversed roles

Audio – Using basic and somewhat plain background noises of what that specific scene would sound like – eg sound of tap running in a washing scene, and then when the scene cuts to short black screen the audio of the next scene then quickly blends into the upcoming scene

Title – ‘The elephant in the room’ relating to phrase of obvious point being ignored – the elephant being the role gender stereotpes still has in the modern day, the room as society.

Repetition – Use of snapshots following same format throughout with only slight difference of male/female actor

Everyday – following through a daily routine

Play – playing on stereotypes
