This convention links to other films such as The Disappearance of Alive Creed as this film also has a young female who gets taken. and so reinforcing that it is a highly used convention of thriller film.

Linking this to age representation makes it even more of a well used convention as younger characters are seen as more fragile and unable to look after themselves.

Young females are the targets of most thriller films and so get hurt along the way. In The Disappearance of Alice Creed, this is a common convention as she is constantly put in danger and is hurt. This convention is also shown within our thriller so as to make it like a real film that would be produced with the proper conventions. Seen in figure 4.

Conventionally, though, the antagonist would usually be a man. For example Essex Boys, The Disappearance of Alice Creed, Layer Cake, Sin City, and The Third Man - this is five out of the seven films we have studied, showing that 71% of the films studied use the stereotypical convention of a male villain.
Our film taps into the commonly used trait of the teen fear of abduction. This can be seen in films such as Abduction and The Disappearance of Alice Creed. The use of taking on the aspect of teen fear, exaggerates the realism of our production, and reinforcing the facts that it can happen anywhere, to anyone. This is a common fear to teens due to their vulnerability and lack of know how as to taking care of themselves in dark situations.
