Final Girl Theory

My group and I decided to use Carol Clover's final girl theory in our horror trailer as we felt that it related to the name of our trailer the most. As our trailer is called 'The Voyeurist' we felt that women are the most targeted when stalking. As a group, we decided on the name for our main character in our upcoming horror trailer. We chose the name 'Riley' as we wanted to include the final girl theory (Carol J Clover). 'Riley' is a unisex name and she follows the final girls theory's convention as she abstains from sex and does not drink alcohol. Also having a unisex name, Riley has some masculine aspects about her which further highlights her bravery and admiration as an 'alpha female'. Riley faces close to death experiences in our trailer, but will always come out surviving. As she is being stalked/watched this will highlight her bravery as she will know that someone is watching her, however will go into dark settings to face the villain. This will be the beginning of an enigma code.
