That she is often in control and subverts woman stereo types

Because there is the start when the man and woman meet eyes, the middle when she is bold and decides where she sits and illegally steals a mans hat which if it was in reality, she would get arrested but this was an ad so we all just let it slide.
9) What representations of gender can you find in this advert?
you can find that women are quiet bold and especially in this ad, it also represents women as rebels since women were not supposed to go out by themselves
.10) Are stereotypes reinforced or subverted in the Galaxy advert? Give examples.
In this advert, there is a mix of stereotypes, for example the man is still the one who urges the woman to come to him and i driving.You also don't see any women driving which could infer the fact that women don't have the money to buy that and that  they should stay at home.however, it can also subvert stereotypes as in the and, the woman is bold and out on here own which wasn't supposed to happen when the advert was made. Furthermore, the women takes a mans hat whilst the man thought she wanted or needed him in which she simply walked of into the strangers car and even chose where to sit ignoring the fact that he had opened the door for her.

1) Find three adverts featuring women that are from the 1950s or 1960s. Save the images to your Media folder as jpegs and then import them into your blog post. Hint: You may wish to look at car, perfume or cleaning products but can use any product you wish.

2) Find three adverts featuring women that are from post-2000. Save the images to your Media folder as jpegs and then import them into your blog post.




3) What stereotypes of women can you find in the 1950s and 1960s adverts? Give specific examples. 
In most60s print ads,women are seen as inferior and weaker than men.like my last picture, it is infering that the women should belong with the shoes.Futhermore,in the tide advert, it makes it seem like the woman wants to stay at home and wants to do the washing which infers the fact that women are worthless and it has became a normality that they should do all the housework.Finally,in the advert of which the woman is wishing the pilot goodbye can also be quiet sexist.The reason of this is because it states that the woman wants him to comew back soon infering that it would be hard for the woman tosurvive on her own without a man around to help.
4) What stereotypes of women can you find in the post-2000s adverts? Give specific examples.
Some people might still believe that woman are still seen as infireor.The reason that i said this is for example, in the gucci advert,the man is in the main image wheras the women are just seen in the backround and might only be there to please the men.Also,in the first advert, it might have a deeper meaning that maybe if women were to exit the house that they are more likly to get ill and therefore,they should stay at home.Finally
5) How do your findings suggest representations of gender have changed over the last 50 years?
I feel like the gender representation hasent really changed much.For example like in the gucci advert, it still consists of stereo types but is trying to hide itwithin the contex of the advert.

1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).
www-this is a solid assessment with definite potential move higher.you start well and make some good references to the text/csp.
lr-you need to write in more depth for the 8 and 12 markers, offering a variety of different points and examples from the text.
2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Write down the mark you achieved for each question:

Q1:2
Q2:6
Q3:3

3) Did you get any media terminology wrong in the assessment? Make a note of it here for future revision:no i didnt
4) Look specifically at question 2 - pick out three points from the mark scheme that you didn't include in your analysis of the unseen Grazia magazine cover.I didn't include the fact  that there was the bar code,colour scheme or that there was celebrities.

5) Now look at question 3. Use the mark scheme to identify three points you could have made regarding how Tatler reflects British social and cultural values.One point that i could have used was that tattler was more into gossip and fashion than news as you would expect from an upper class magazine.i could have also mention that the specific magazine is representing Britain as a very wealthy country and that most people are rich .Finally, i missed the fact that since the title has the word tattle in it, it infers that the audience wants to learn about other people.
