Drew Barrymore - ScreamIn this scene Drew Barrymore is home alone. You can see in this photo that she is fiddling around with a knife on a knife stand (foreshadowing that she will late be stabbed). She has bright blonde hair (blonde stereotype), wearing a white jumper that could represent her innocence and vulnerability, as well blue jeans that could represents that she likes to feel comfy when she is at home.

Amanda Wyss – Nightmare on elm street

In this picture you can see Amanda Wyss’s character walking through a boiler room. I lighting is very low so that you can just about see the features on her face. She is wearing a white night gown again representing her innocence and vulnerability. Also the same as Scream she has blonde hair.

I know what you did last summer

In this photo two of the characters are wearing white and one is wearing black this could represent their personalities The two characters in front are wearing white and also they both look the most disturbed. The white can represent innocence and vulnerability again, the girl is also wearing jeans again maybe for comfort. There is a blond girl (stereotype) standing behind them in a very revealing black dress, they can either be valuable because of the revealing clothes or a horrible character because of the colour black.

Brittany Snow – Prom night

In this picture we see Brittany Snow in a white prom dress again representing innocence and vulnerability, also her blonde hair can be seen as stereotyping as being a bimbo or first to die.
