As I have said before, we were hoping to not stereotype too much in our final product. However, it has occured to me through my research that our "Amazons" will be based on stereotypes. Many of the photos used on my mood board on Pinterest are what we expect tribal people to wear, but a lot of it has been made to look fashionable. I also noticed that most of the images were of females, but I was initially planning of having a mix of both genders. Obviously, it will depend on who we can get, and I think when it comes to filming, if there are more girls than guys it won't be intended that way.
The Girl will be blonde, which is a stereotype often used to indicate that she is a "dumb blonde". This is not the case in our video. The point we were hoping to put across is that she is pure, or she is like the light. This links back to Claude Levi-Strauss' argument about binary opposition. At the point in our music video when she will come in, it will be the time that he needs to be shown the way through the darkness.
