Character representation

Intro:

Character representations are the specific aspects of a character. Characters are normally presented through stereotypes. For example the protagonist of a film is usually a white attractive male, a victim is normally a blond female because it is a stereotype that blond females are unintelligent so they are of portrayed as a victim. The racial people so anyone that is not white is normally casted as the antagonist in the film. What they wear also affect the way they are presented for example if an protagonist wore a suit you would think they are intelligent, if an antagonist wore red you would think they were evil and seductive and if a woman was to wear white it would show purity and innocence.
