Representation plan

Paragraph 1 Intro: Which of your projects are you going to write about? Briefly describe it

Paragraph 2:
 What are some of the key features of the concept you are being asked to apply? Maybe outline two of the theories/ideas of particular writers briefly


Research

Assumes the audience view women and events through the perspective of a heterosexual male
The camera (displaying the perspective of the male) objectifies women by reducing them to fetishised parts
Females viewers must experience the narrative secondly, by identifying with the male
Geri Halliwell - Camera constantly pans and tilts over her body - reducing her to fetished parts
Wears tight clothes - crop tops, leggings, shorts - Cheryl Cole - bright crop top - steam - sexualises her 
Close ups of her face - Ciara goodies and call my name - cc
Emphasise her lips in all of them - close ups

Marjorie Ferguson - Facial Expressions
Romantic or sexual - Cheryl Cole, Rihanna Hate That I Love You
Trevor Millum
Seductive
