Historical
-Calvin Klein- “obsession” (1985)
Women are represented as sex objects as they are an obsession fantasised by men, which men want for only one reason. At the end she says “There are many loves but only one obsession”- suggesting sex is an obsession. Also in the advert she is wearing white which contradicts her actions as white symbolises purity and innocence and her actions are totally opposite, which gives a representation of both “Madonna” and “whore”.

FIVE REASONS WHY WOMEN DIRECTORS ARE RARE
1- Because they have other duties such as looking after there kids, and they can’t do this as being a director means to fully commit to that and only that
2- It is a very male dominant industry as its business orientated, which is male dominant, and its more about who you know-so men are at every level leaving no space for women.
3- Many women believe they can’t make it
4- There’s a hierarchy of men which means men are in charge of mostly everything making it hard for women. Female directors don't make the effort to send in their projects, which makes people think whether or not they really want to enter the industry
5-Female directors don't make the effort to send in their projects, which makes people think whether or not they really want to enter the industry
