Representations in Film Trailers

Taken


This film trailer shows representations of genders, it shows the male as very dominant, masculine and skillful, with lots of power, for example when Liam Neesons character is trying to get information from a man he is forcing him to talk by punching him repetitively in the ribs, however, the women are shown as easily dominated and weak, as the daughter gets taken by men, once again showing the men have the power. This trailer also shows a negative representation of Paris, as that is where this is set, and is also where the girls get taken and turned into prostitutes.

  1. Jack you have not mentioned stereotypical representations of Gender. Try and link examples to representation types. Also mention how the representation of Paris is un stereotypical. Your writing style needs to be a bit more formal, ensure you finish point B before moving on to point C for example.
