Representation of Women

X-men first class trailer and made a brainstorm of How the women are represented in the trailer.


THE GAZE
The idea is that a woman’s body displayed on screen, makes the (male) viewer a kind of voyeur, who experiences intense erotic pleasure from looking at her. This ‘controls’ the woman and makes her an ‘object’ of the gaze (the man).

Brainstorm

I made a brain storm of the different areas of Mu-sene-en 

Keey words to Analyse TV DRAM'S

Difference and Power
Opposites- Normal and 'other'

Gender Editing - Mescalin decisive cuts, Female soft with fades
Sounds-  Aggressive, Loud- Mescalin
Soft, Natural- Feminine

TV Drama clip

To me this  Clip is a perfect example Demonstration of Gender 
Males are stereotypical  capable of fixing cars, whereas woman are thought not to be be able to even know about cars. When he says'what you know about cars?' stereotypical all men think that woman know nothing.
when she does fix the car he feel's undermined so feels he has to do something for her. 
'you already undermined my masculinity at least let me give you a lift'. Men don't like to feel undermined by a woman so they try to do something else that is masculine, like give a woman a lift.

Representation and Construction of Representation

Representation means that all media and text are re-presented of reality. They are intentially composed and entirely artifical versions of reality.

An example of Representation is the Tv drama Skins
this is a real life concept of teenagers but over exaggerated. 

Constriction of Representation is:
  • Someones perception of real life  
  • Someones view on a social group 
  • reconstructed to fit the scenario around the story 
  • reality reconstructed  to fit narrative 
  • Exaggerated/dramatists reality 
  • Interpretation of reality 
  • ideology (views opinion and belief) 
  • what isnt shown - Heterosexual 
  • contextual (time and place)
  • social and cultural beliefs 
  • stereotypes
