representation of blonde women in media



This video shows how blonde women are usually portrayed in media and why people tend to think blonde people are always dumb, in this video Karen is trying to console her friend about a breakup with her boyfriend, she ends up saying something wrong and having a conversation with cady that makes her sound and look stupid.
in this film Karen usually had a dazed look on her face and wears clothes that make her look cheap, she wears tight and revealing clothes with simple makeup and simple hair. in this video she has the classic stereotypically dumb look.
In all scenes that Karen is in she has a dumb confused look on her face, she has a soft look and talks in a soft tone which puts the impression across that she wants to be taken seriously but doesn't know what she's talking about.
karen is how a usual blonde woman is portrayed.

this is supposed to be a country music magazine, the instruments used are more jazz the layout of the image is perfect for the type of music and the position if the characters are good, we related the layout of the image to the way that dolly patrons videos and concerts look.

i like this picture i think the shot and the props used in the picture suit the theme of the picture, it looks very laid back and very realistic for the type of music that is presented. the background of the picture also links to the music genre.











i like this picture because i like the position of the characters in the picture, the picture is supposed to be a pop music picture but the picture looks more country because of the background and the way it is set out. i think the picture should be more creative.
