look the reason why we all have the same IP adress is because we are at school. We are not having people do our bloody homework what we are doing is gathering primary research on the opinions of people with regard to our essay questions. This is a requirement of the course that we have to carry this out you can look at the A2 AQA Media outline. We are taking the answers and analysing them. So it would be appriciated that you not ban us and re-open our threads please and just let people answer the damn questions.

Hi! and welcome to the internet. You're obviously new here so I'll provide you with some useful tips. Getting saucy with a mod will not get you your own way. Presenting yourself as a 'researcher' and being unable to properly type full sentences gets your written off as a spammer. Most importantly, the majority of people posting on forums don't give a crap and therefore most of your 'research' will be worthless as the opinions presented are often devoid of real substance.

if you were actually trying to do research you would be in a library or in contact with legitimate consumer research firms to find out where you can find published results of valid studies. asking a bunch of randoms on the internet about a generalization = worthless.

besides, the initial question in this thread is worded in a yes / no fashion. there's no room for debate.

first off that's a horrible sentence, starting it with 'like' makes the poster sound dumber than Britney Spears at the start of her career when she was supposed to be vapid as possible. 'aparticular' is also not a word. either way 'Do you think that they are characterized or stereotyped in a particular way? = yes or no'

so here's your answer and i think everyone here will agree...

yes - men are characterized and stereotyped in music videos.

good luck on your homework.

The representation of the sexes in film does not vary according to the intent of the film; that is, in short films, music videos, movies, etc., it is consistent.

Godard said all you need for a film is a gun and a girl. This summarizes half the reason women are in film, they're a plot device. They move the story along.

The other thing they contribute is tits.

What's amazing is that this is the case in films marketed to women as well; Pretty Woman is an excellent example of this.

So, there you have it. Any woman in any film is nothing other than a plot device with tits.
