Write a short paragraph for each theory picking out aspects of the trailer that could be linked to that particular theory.

For example, negative representations of Eastern Europeans and women support Dyer's view that those with power stereotype those without power. It also reduces complex and varied groups to a few simplistic characteristics.

Complete this for each theory:

Dyer: stereotyping and power
Medhurst: value judgements
Perkins: some stereotypes can be positive or true
Mulvey: the male gaze
Levi-Strauss: representation and ideology

 Dyer stereotyping and power- that the women are vulnerable in society and are easily targeted. this film shows the dominance of males in society as they have to go and rescue the women from their troubles which demonstrates their lack of authority in general society.  

 Medhurst value judgements - through this trailer we imagine that the male is strong minded and organised as hes planning every move he does whereas, his daughter doesn't know how to react in the situation she is in. from this we analysis that the main male character has experience on these types of situations and that gives us hope on him being able to track his daughter 
Perkins some stereotypes can be positive or true - some stereotypes in this trailer are true as the male is show as more dependent in ad situations and the female not focused and doesn't try get out of whats happened.

Narrative in advertising: Nike

-
1) How does the advert use narrative? Apply at least three narrative theories to the text, making specific reference to specific shots or key scenes in the advert. In the advert, we are shown action and enigma codes throughout the ad, starting with the kid scoring a goal in training, if the girl playing football gets noticed if more people play ice hockey and enigma codes of why the girl has to fight her family and if the man skateboarding get's away from security. In a way Todorov's equilibrium is shown with the man casually walking into the store and then having to cycle to his mate, leading to the chain of sports being mentioned, but then at the end of the advert there is a scene of the man on his cycle in his new equilibrium of choosing to cycle to his friend. Lastly, there is an element of Propps Charater theory with the hero(s) being all the people doing the sports and the donor being the coaches such as  Gareth Southgate  that are shown, the villain ...
