Today I have had a tutorial with my unit leader to ask if there would be any problems with the adult mature themes that are within my film, mainly the filming of a rape scene. She has told me that there is no problem with including this into my film but she advised me to take certain actions and precautions.
Firstly I was advised to research sexual violence, i.e. look into charities that help those who have been sexually abused. The reason for this is to see what they believe a victim of sexual assault's mental state would be like, as well as seeing if my story line would offend people who have been a victim of sexual assault as it could possibly be perceived through my film that those who have been victims of sexual assault are mentally ill. I do not want to give out a negative impressions about victims so I will have to show her development to getting back to normal while commenting the murders i.e. physical appearance, confidence. The way I intend to do this is to show her go from being scared, weak and scruffy looking to becoming strong, confident and well presented. I will have to think about this a little more (likely after I look at sexual abuse help charities) to make sure that nothing within the film could come across to being offensive to anyone.
