In my writing part of A2 I would like to discuss something like "Representation of women and men in advertising" I thought about some ads of L'Oreal. They are always with beautiful, young, successful and famous women for example with Eva Longoria or Beyoncé. Women want to but products of L'oreal because these celebrities symbolizes fame and glamour and women want to be like that.
It's the same with Tiger Woods, Thierry Henry and Roger Federer. They are famous and strong and men want to be like this. So these 3 sportsmen are perfekt for the Gillette ad.

PS: I found a really good video about television.

The Killers

A few days ago, I watched "The Killers" directed by Robert Siodmak. It's a "Film Noir" movie and its amazing. The whole movie is in black and white. You can see a lot contrast and shadows are everywhere.
A really interesting thing is that every time a person gets killed, you can't see it. There are incredible shots, they show that someone is dying but you can't see blood or anything else.
The movie shows some good stereotypes. The always relaxed 'cool' guy and a sexy woman.
