1. The programme shows the crime genre through the obvious action and right from the first scene we can see the cars used in the short chase scene is a police car. Hence the two police officers, dressed in uniform and driving police cars. This is also shown through the characters as they're agents investigating criminals. The setting of a prison and a police station. 2. Representations of males in the programme are reinforced due to them being aggressive, assertive and stereotypically muscly and defined. However the representations of females are challenged as the man are often found depending on females which challenges the stereotype of females being weak. The females in Hawaii Five O are also completely equal to the men and are treated the exact same. 3. The programme uses enigmas as throughout there are references to earlier story lines that new watchers wouldn't understand. As well as this there are questions left unanswered that will most likely be answered in episode...

Representations of Gender (Deadpool) Gender in Deadpool is represented as equal. The lead female, Vanessa does reinforce some stereotypes of a woman lead in a predominately male targeted film as she does have scenes where she isn't dressed in a lot of clothes and she is represented as a sex symbol however Wade Wilson is also represented like this especially at the start of the film when the narrative is explaining how the two came together. Hence one of the reasons why gender is represented as equal. Another reason is that both Vanessa and Wade are workers and Vanessa is a powerful woman and chooses to dress the way she does and wouldn't do anything she isn't comfortable with, this could be seen as empowering for woman as Vanessa challenges the stereotype of a woman dressing the way she does for male attention because that isn't the case she does it to work and to fend for herself, something overlooked by some people. Throughout the film Wade, Ryan Reynolds charact...

Representations In the film, "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not", the lead female character at the start of the film is represented as innocent and seems very lovable and kind for instance surprising what seems to be her love interest with a flower. She is represented as this because this is very stereotypical of a young girl in a new relationship as the audience knows she's only a student. However a the story continues what's noticeable is that she starts to go to great lengths to deliver gifts and surprise her so called lover. However we then learn through the second part of the film that this girl has made all of this up and its all imaginary, the audience later finds out she has Erotomania, a serious mental health issue in which a person believes they're in a serious, passionate relationship when they don't actually know who she is at all. The narrative works to hide the ending and what is wrong with the girl as its a non linear structure meaning it does...

Music Videos In Media Hard Times - Paramore (Performance) In Hard Times the music video is a performance music video, so the band is performing the song. The music itself is quirky and very indie. This subverts the stereotype of artists with women involved or musicians that are women using the woman's body or her physical features to draw especially male attention in, this is called male gaze. The performance itself is very empowering of women as Hayley Williams the front woman of Paramore doesn't wear tight, clingy clothes and doesn't show off her body she's in fact in a baggy jumpsuit. This is so the audience concentrates on the music not the looks of the lead singer. As well as this Hayley Williams is fronting a male dominated band and she's at the fore front throughout the video so this could also seen as really empowering. The subculture Paramore is apart of has changed over the years but they would be seen as "indie" or "pop punk"...

Advertisement The meaning of the advertisement is to emphasise the nourishing shampoo and the fact its a tropical scent which is very refreshing. The bright orange represents the scent that stands out, the fruit in the foreground gives the buyer an incentive to buy it especially if they like the smell of mangos and pineapples which are very tropical fruits. The background represents the cleanliness and how natural the shampoo is made. The tag lines purpose is to include the name of the company but to emphasise that this shampoo is different from all of the others especially with a word like "twist" which has connotations of different and flipped around.  

Eastenders Stereotype (Phil Mitchell) Phil Mitchell is stereotyped as being very rash, violent and seen as a "meathead" and the most common stereotype he's associated with is a binge drinker that's always at a pub. In this scene Phil Mitchell perceives all of these stereotypes. The representation is stereotypical because Phil Mitchell embraces this persona of a cockney from the east end of London and he is very violent and boyish, he doesn't take rubbish off anyone and in the scene he's obviously drunk but he's very rude and rash with the way he speaks especially to the women in the pub. The pub is iconic because if he was at home or in a sophisticated bar or restaurant dressed smartly the stereotype would be nothing like they are. In this scene it's fair to say the stereotype is quite realistic of a binge drinker getting drunk at a pub, Phil Mitchell isn't particularly doing anything out of the ordinary especially with the the stereotyp...
