Feminist Film
Theory
Applying Feminist Film Theory to my film in the planning
stages, opened a lot of opportunities for me to include in my filming. I made
the female characters an object of desire for my protagonist and for the males
in my audience. I was able to do this by using extreme close ups of the female
anatomy, and dressing Mary in red, which not only suggests danger but desire. Lust
doesn’t just mean in a sexual nature it is like a sexual need, James’ wants to eat his lovers, and by doing so also consumes them emotionally.
In Feminist film Theory, the woman is seen as a helpless
creature and the man always holds sovereign power, this applies to my film and
men can associate with the main character James because as well as objectifying
the women they mirror themselves into James and see themselves as a powerful ,
dominant figure. This also allows the audience to feel like the male protagonist.
