11th November 2011 - Further Reading I learnt a lot from the links about the Representation of Women and it cleared my understanding of the key things to contrast. I got a lot of ideas to put into my work and I think by reading this my work will, consequently improve. I think I liked the last link the best because it used a lot of examples for contrasting women and it kind of concludes the things we discussed in class. Evie Pernet

The information on the representation of women was very helpful as it included lots of new points that I will be able to use in my work. It gave me a few ideas of what to include in my essay and more points to include. Overall i liked the last link best it used lots of aspects that we had already disscussed in class. Zoe Anderson

I think the most useful source was the first web link because it gave a full description of the ways in which women are portrayed in adverts and it also explained the different characteristics and roles that women play in media. Ella Jones

13th November 2011 I found that the link titled 'The Portrayal of Men and Women in TV Ads' very useful and insightful. I believe it will become very useful when writing out pieces on Representing Women in the Media Print. The link also helped me thing about how I am to structure my piece. Ruby Hoggarth. = = = 13th November 2011 = I found the last link very interesting with some facts I could include in my essay. For example, a survey by Trowler in 1988 showed that 56% of women in adverts were shown as domestic housewives. Also, accoring to a survey in 1986, 75% of men were shown to be employed compared to less than 50% of women. Laura Jackson.

I think that the second link was the most useful as, although we are doing about the representation of women in adverts the bit about how men are portrayed is quite interesting. The link also clarified my understanding of the different stereotypes in print media. Jack Laskey

I found the information useful to clarify my understanding of representations of men and women in advertising. i found the first website the most useful as it was the easiest to understand and was the clearest.

** I ** looked at a document, wherein part of it was about the Toilet Duck advert, and how the advert showed the women need men to save them. The woman in this paticular advert was shown as a damsel in distress. Also, voice-overs represent authority and that over 94% of voice-overs are males. I did not know this before. However, it then said that women's voice overs represent intelligence and knowledge. :)  Eleanor


 * I found that the second link contained more useful information to clarify my understanding and that it explained how certain traits were needed to be potrayed in certain advert and that the needs of the viewers are changing which means the connection through the advert to the audience must be contained throughout the changes. **
