S block and T block AS Media: case study task

  1. Find one example of a video game trailer that represents women/ a woman. 
  2. Create a PowerPoint, analysing the text in relation to how women are represented. 
  3. Make detailed reference to visual, technical and audio codes. Remember to have the toolkit for textual analysis in front of you at all times! 
  4. Apply the theory of Laura Mulvey and The Male Gaze and Judith Butler, Gender as Performance. (You will have to research these theories and provide a short summary of each of the theories in the PowerPoint. Go for a slide for each one of Mulvey's theories). 
  5. Provide a link to the trailer, save the PowerPoint and bring it to your next lesson. This work MUST be done in the lesson time now.
Top tip - now would be a great time to visit the library and check out the Media Studies section!
