| Peggy Carter – Captain America, | Peggy Carters job is working in British officer representing the 'Strategic Scientific Reserve' during WW2. Therefore, she has a uniform to demonstrate this. At the time, women didn't have much power- specifically in such high demand jobs that typically use males. This allows her character to show authority and earn respect. The uniform itself is clearly shown to be from the war times, due to the colour and fit. In comparison to another male within the same sector, her uniform is much more fitted, in the style of 'peplum' and she is wearing a long skirt. Which adds feminism to her character,complimenting her makeup look. We'll incorporate this into our character by adding uniform for the same conventions. |
| Performance Despite her gender and the stereotypes attached to it in accordance to her job, She is very strong willed.This is displayed by the respect she is given and how effective her workforce is. For example, she doesn't hesitate to use violence against a male. This shows she's a dominate character and a anti-stereotype. | The gun is held strongly and professionally, as she is trained through her workforce in training soldiers for war. This adds power and authority to her character, even though she isn’t the antagonist. |
| Her makeup is very minimum and ‘natural’ looking, apart from the red lipstick and strong brow. She demonstrates the typical 1920’s-30’s wartime woman through this look, due to the fashion at that time – when makeup started to develop. This goes against the stereotypical look for a woman in a thriller, as they are normally wearing less powerful looking makeup, but more of it. The red lipstick is used a lot in many thrillers, to portray power of the woman. This is a convention that we will use. | Again, the hair is the typical pin-up style of that era. Normally, with women they are shown to have hair down, specifically if shown as the victim. We felt that by adding conventions from fashion at the time it helps to add verisimilitude. |
