This would make the sexually charged final moments of the film more comfortable for the two female actors involved, considering the objectifying position I was putting them in with my choices of costume and make up. Gemma Reynolds, the actor who played The Shadow, had conveyed to me before production began that she understood my choice of costume was intended to be a comment on the objectification of the female form and felt that it was entirely appropriate for the statement I wanted to make. She did, however, remark that she would feel more comfortable portraying The Shadow if I had a female Sound Recordist and Director of Photography on board. Gemma’s remark mirrored my own thoughts on the subject as I was already looking for a female DoP to work with. I felt that politically, when taking into consideration that the film is produced, written and directed by a man, it would help strengthen the female empowerment elements of the narrative if I actively seeked female representation behind the camera as well as in front. This would ensure that the films public image would be beyond reproach when disseminating the finished product. I meet in person with two female DoP's during pre-production and conversed with three more via email. One of the two female DoP’s I met with, a third year student studying a Screenology, would initially agree to take on the role then backed out three days before production began, stating that, having re-read the script, shooting my film wouldn’t align with her brand of female empowerment. I found this to be a vague and frustrating reason to leave the project as no further explanation was given to me. While I wasn’t able to find a female DoP in the short space of time I had to fill the role, I did have a female sound recordist on board and out of the twenty one people who worked on the film, ten would be female, striking a solid balance between male and female crew members.
