Introduction: Representation. |
-Somebody of something being represented in a particular way, stereotypically. -The way people, groups or ideas are presented through media texts. -Ideologies work through the use of symbolic codes and conventions which explain or represent reality or our expectations of reality. -Without these ideas/beliefs audiences would be less familiar with the media text that they are engaging with. -They would be unable to relate to it. |

Paragraph 1: Marxist Theory. |
-Representations are encoded into texts to reinforce known ideas within society. -Ideas are enforced into society by people in power and the media circulates these ideas. -When we see them in the media, we believe these hegemonic ideologies, we may relate to and understand them. -I have encoded stereotypical views of women, supporting the idea that men are stronger. -Close-ups & mise-en-scene - dark and alone - helpless. |

Paragraph 2: Marxist Theory. It is clear that I have supported this Marxist theory as I have included many aspects of the ideology in my trailer... |

Paragraph 4: Laura Mulvey. |
-Virgin/whore dichotomy. -Women are shown in a way that males want to see them (male gaze). -I have chosen to use a female as the victim as this would be familiar to my audience as it is something most thrillers do. -My female character is both put into danger and helped by males, suggesting that they have power. -Damsel in distress. -Sound picks up pace as soon as she is under the control of the male. -Fast beating heart relates to fear. |

Conclusion. The narrative of my film trailer supports the idea of many theorists... |
-My audience will identify with many representations in the media because of things we learn within society. -By using a female as the victim my audience will relate to the idea that women are weaker. -Also, by having crime as the dominant theme within my trailer, I am representing things that could happen in reality. |
