13c1 Cover Work

Thursday 29th November, periods 5 & 6

Using YouTube or any other video sharing website, find five television adverts that represent women in different ways. Also, ensure that they come from a range of historical periods to show how things have developed (e.g. one from the 50s, one from the 70s, one from the 80s, and two contemporary ones).

Post these videos up on your Med 6 blogs under the heading "Women in Advertising". For each one write a paragraph analysing and evaluating the representation, ensuring that you include references to some of the keywords, theorists or media researchers in each description (use the Gauntlett handouts to help you).
