The representation of sexuality in our opening sequnence

In our opening sequence, a gay couple is featured heavily and make up two of the three roles in our piece. Generally speaking, most thriller films do not feature homosexual couples as there is a preconception that gay men men have no place in a film based greatly on action and thrill. Whist neither males in our film undertake a particularly action-based, we decided to include them so as to defy convention in several other ways. Firstly, as previously stated, gay men are under represented in such films so we wanted to include them in order to make our piece seem more unique. Similarly, whilst we admit we are following a cliche in featuring an affair that leads to a murder, neither of us have yet seen a film that contains a homosexual affair that concludes with the wife killing her husband, so thus we were excited to include this in our opening sequence as we believe it will separate our plot from the cliche and make our piece ultimately more unique .
