In my film I have tried to portray a social group, or specific type of person known as a 'goldigger' or 'trophy wife' image. Who follow the life motto of 'No Rolex, No sex.' I have shown this by having a very glamorous woman dressed in sexy red clothes, symbolising her dangerous temper and character, highlighting how she is a user and manipulater to acheive her shameful goals of marrying for money. Some women in the audience may be able to relate to this situation. Whether it be marrying for money, or perhaps even an arranged marriage due to money. Therefore using the Ferrari in the establishing shot, will help portray this image, supporting the narrative. Some audience members may even have a stepmother who is a goldigger or who is alot younger than their father. Showing how we can all relate to this. The media also gives off poor and bad representations of these types of women, by having shows such as 'Girls of the Playboy Mansion' and 'Married to Rock', both reality shows portraying women who are in relationships souly for money. Therefore we used this as inspiration, by going for the goldigger stereotype of blonde, thin, big busted and gorgeous. This helped our casting choices. Our actress also helped represent the typical, 'mail order' and 'trophy wife' due to her accent. This was again represented when we showed a picture of the couple, as her alot younger and her husband much older. Although sometimes the age difference is quite extreme, we made the gap alot smaller to be able to make the narratvie seem more realistic. Below are some images for our inspiration.
