Representation;

In filming people are often represented in different ways these can either be positive or negative, the representations are often followed by a stereotype.
Stereotypes are an interpreted conventional image, or a person who is regarded as embodying to a set image or type.
An example of a stereotype would be that 'woman cant drive'.
Many Hollywood films follow these stereotypes. In a majority of films woman are often represented as the less dominant characters and therefore have the 'at home role.' This is a typical stereotype as we are aware this is not always true in modern society.
