"Women In Advertising Conclusion"

Looking at all the advertisments, depending on the product advertised relates to the representation of the females and males, for example looking at the diet coke advert, the product is aimed at females, so the advert entices the female audience by producing a male as a sex object.
Looking at the chewing gum advert, the product is aimed at all ages, mainly teenagers as they would eat the product, but within the advert they use a hetrasexual couple. The advert can;t use a female as a sex object to persuade people to buy the product, as the advert may be viewed before the 'Watershed'.
Overall, depening on the product will relate to how the individual will be represented.

Chintan As My Blog Buddy

Looking at chintan's blog, he focuses on ' How has CGI ensured the continued box office success of the animation genre, paying particular attention to ‘Shrek the Third?’', using this text, i cna use the female representation of Fionna within shrek three. for example looking at how being preety to ugly and how her masculinity and the action used.
using this text can help me ho false charcters, (made up characters) have a personality and a representation. Using CGI fims i can relate my study to how females are representated in differnt ways; in differnt genres and films.

Zainab As My Blog Buddy

I chose zainab's independant study, as looking into her text 'CSI' the female representation differs to the representation in Xmen-3. This is an advanatge, as i can expand on differnt representations on feamles and cntrdict my findings.
We have similar cliff hangers that we come across for example the rise of female dominance and how males react to it. Also the main representation of how males label females as 'The Sex Object'.
As zainab focuses on the representation on feamles within CSI which is a crime based genre, i am going to focus on how genre's affect female representations. depending on the type of genre, the female can be label by males in differnt ways, for example looking at tomb rider, she is more masculine and has the norms mainly from a male gender role.
hopefully, using Zainabs text in addition can help me research deeper.
