Representation

Representation 

In media class recently we learnt about representation. Representation is the way in which people, events and ideas are presented to the audience. We can uses the acronym CAGES to help in looking at representation.

Class
Age
Gender
Ethnicity
Sexuality

The male gaze theory- Women are placed in the media for men's pleasure. One of the biggest offenders of this is the James Bond films.

This movie poster has a main hero which signifies that this film has a lot of action and could be a superhero movie. In terms of class, I would say it is for anyone. It is hard to specify what class would decide to watch a film like this. But in terms of age and gender it is a lot more clear cut. I would say it is for boys aged 7-18. I also think that the ethnicity and sexuality has no clear effect on whether someone would want to watch this movie based off of the poster.
