In this clip men can be conveyed in many different ways. For example, the host, Graham Norton is portrayed in a feminine way, which contrasts to Arnold Schwarzenegger who is seen as very masculine. Arnold is seen as the dominant representation of men, as he's portrayed as a sporty and strong man. This representation of Arnold links with Perkins theory, as this stereotype of Arnold has helped with his fame and success. It could also link with Mulvey's theory as she suggests the dominant view in the media is masculine. Contrary, Graham Norton is gay and is seen quite feminine and therefore, reinforces Medhursts theory. Furthermore, the woman, Miranda is an alternative representation of women, due to her appearance.
London 2012 – Bond/Queen
In this clip, London is portrayed as very wealthy and a nice place to live. This could link to Perkins theory as she suggests that some stereotypes could be true/positive, and in this case there is a positive stereotype of London. Furthermore, James Bond is portrayed in dominant way, as he's dressed formally. In addition, there's a sense of a female gaze here as Daniel Craig (James Bond) is being looked at and admired. The Queen is also portrayed in a posh and wealthy way, and this could link to Perkins theory, as the Queen is being presented in a positive.
Some Girls – BBC3 trailer
This trailer portrays the four girls in an alternative way as you wouldn't normally see them on a team of something, and on a football team particularly. This goes against the stereotype of girls not being sporty/active. Furthermore, there is a dominant view of the blonde, as she only cares about her looks and isn't very intellectual. This links to Medhurts theory as it's a negative stereotype. In addition, the next girl is presented as aggressive and this shows an alternative view, as girls are seen as not so aggressive and more gentle. This could link also link to Medhurts theory.
