Women Representation - Tom Ford Advert

Tom Ford Advert
Female Representation


This is a example in which women are represented as sexual object. This links which the male gaze where women are turned into sex objects in media. Only showing certain body parts, her we are focused on her boobs and mouth. This is the focal point of the women shown on ad, We have clear colour connotations of red suggesting sex and romance. The bottle being positioned in a sexual way in between her boobs. it's suggesting that if you buy this then you will get the girl of your dreams.
This is a common representation of women in media, the woman are made to look alluring and appealing to attract the male audience to look at this avert and possibly buy the product on show.

This Girl Can


This Girl Can
In this video women are not being represented because of how attractive they are but rather represents them as powerful, showing they do whatever they want. As this image is captioned 'deal with it'. Saying anyone who is against us just have to deal with it because they are going to do it whether people mind or not, they are going to keep on doing the sport and don't care what people have to say about it. The advert is telling us that women of all shapes and sizes have the right to do sport and feel good about themselves. With the image of the women readjusting her swimming trunks there is a cultural reference to a David Beckham advert in which he was very much sexualised and objectified, but in this case we are not objectifying the female, it's just showing a female doing the sport that she loves. The advert is telling women not to be ashamed of their bodies, they don't need a size 0 figure to be able to enjoy sport activities. Another cultural reference the fact that the video is shows us all different kinds of females in Britain relation to the racial diversity we have in the country. This is also sending the message that you can do whatever you want. It doesn't matter what size, race or class you are.
Most of the camera angles used are close ups of the females face showing their emotions; their dedication, passion and the pain they go through.
