This a post which we used in our proposal of our idea. This particular post focuses on:

Representation of  social groups

The main characters involved in the opening sequence are young males and are represented as brave and intelligent individuals. This challenges stereotypes of young people being rude, rowdy and mischievous hooligans. 

Conforming to conventions where men are the one doing the manual work and the more physical work. 

Later on in the narrative a very strong female is introduced. She challenges stereotypes through her role in the film, as she does similar jobs as the men, such as fighting off the zombies and other enemies.

The two missionaries are on an equal footing despite coming from different ethnic backgrounds.
