Introduction to Representation- Blog task

Taken-  https://youtu.be/kZ02_Uzf7So
1.  In the trailer, the different people represented are men, women, Americans, criminals, Frenches
2.  Women= dominant, because it presents the weakness of women and how they need saving. Americans= Dominant, usually the hero. Criminals= dominant, because they are still men and violent and clever. Frenches= dominant, anything outside America is usually considered the bad guy.
3.  Their are a lot of stereotypes in this trailer, one of which is its representation of women as a submissive, weak, need of saving always by a male hero and victims of sexual abuse. In addition is the stereotype of the hero being a man, strong, fearless and powerful over all. Another is the criminal stereotype of if they can being from another country as the bad guy and never the good American.
4. The Taken trailer would offend groups like women who feel wronged by showing women as so weak and wearing revealing clothes. Alienates the power of women. Also it would offend the french as they are targeted as the bad people while the Americans are the heroes of the story. It alienates coloured people.
5. They often use stereotypes because they want to appeal to a large audience most of which are still stereotypical and in order to make the most money they would do this

The Killing- https://youtu.be/Y5t4Aczm_fM
1.  In the trailer, the different people represented are men, women, Danish,
2. Men= dominant/alternative, both because some men are following women and in other cases the women are helplessly in tears compared to the men. Women= Both again because we see in the beginning a fragile, young, blond girl running for her life scared but later the investigator who is a women is portrayed as the leader and doing all the complicated detective work.
3. The stereotypes in this trailer in the beginning is a fragile, young, blond girl running for her life scared with blood all over her face and wearing a short dress. this definitely reinforces the submissiveness of women. Some men are shown as strong and being a supportive dominate husband while the wife is the crying and a emotional mess who cannot keep it together.
4. The trailer may offend women because of how weak they are presented in someways as always running from the bad guy and hurt. It also alienates coloured people in general.

No Offence- https://youtu.be/e9_lAFLVqME
1. The people represented in this trailer are men, women
2. women= dominant/alternative because main lead is very forward and takes control but other women are really hung by their appearance and wear revealing outfits. Men= alternative, they are being led by a women and do not show dominance
3. Stereotypes of women gushing over what to wear and how much cleavage to portray, making it very feminine
4. It may offend some women because of how they are portrayed but it also may offend other women that see the main lead women who is funny forward and dose not care about what men think bad.
