In all the text I've looked at (Band Aid video, Oxfam advert and the Beast of No Nation movie) they is a strong use of close-ups specifically extreme and big close of the faces of people in crisis. They are depicted as always being in crisis whether it be famine, war or lack of clean water. There is always a lack of costume on the people no matter what the crisis there are in is. Furthermore, in third world countries, they are represented the same thought different adverts. In the Band Aid music video, we can see that they are being portrayed that there is not much to do apart from them needing our help. This is repeated through the fact that in most adverts, everyone is unclean and they all lack with the amount of food and water that they have. It is then put down to us for helping to look after them by the money we can donate, and that the money we donate spirals to crops being made, selling crop, making money, going to school and on and on; it all starts from a small donati

In the tide advert we can see that woman are being discriminated against, as they are repetitively referred to as being housewives. The advert conveys the idea that the woman are good to do cleaning in the house leaving the men to go out and work while the women is 'slaving' around at home for the males. The woman seems to be drawn towards the product 'Tide' and so this shows that they may be in love with the product, over their husbands, seeing as they do not treat them right. The other advert, shows that woman are also being discriminated against, as it shows us that woman are doing jobs which they would not normally be doing; they are doing factory jobs. It says, 'turns out you gals are useful after all!' And this is offensive to woman as they are usually seen as house wives and this quote shows that they aren't even good at that. Woman are treated unfairly and during the war, woman were used to fill the jobs of men i factories, then they were kicke

1. How are women portrayed in the media? Are there differences between the different media platforms? Make reference to the following media platforms TV (news and reality TV) and film For the majority of the time, woman are objectified and their bodies are used as objects. This can be seen in many  examples, such as when presenting the news, acting, in a music video or even just seen walking around in the streets. This is mainly down to what the media has represented what is 'right' for women. Woman are taught to continuously dress in a certain manor to be looked at by others in a certain way, or by the way they look. For example, there was an actor who got the role in a TV show, but they directors asked er to get botox, and this is so the TV show would be 'better' to watch; this was not needed and is a perfect example of how woman are objectified by the media. In movies, woman are rarely the main character. 2. How are men represented in the media? In the media,
