Representations - Gender

Here is a video challenging the female gender stereotype.

This video challenges the stereotype that all women are weak.

Becoming a fire-fighter requires great strength and determination and this is shown by the females in the video.
They must be physically fit to be able to carry out the tasks and they are challenging the stereotype by proving that women can be strong and can do the same jobs as men and to as good a standard.

EBIs:

Pace = the slow/ medium pace emphasises the realism of the events. Showing females are capable of accomplishing such things.

Costume = although it's non-fiction, the women's clothing is extremely weighty and heavy. This proves their strength, challenging the female stereotype and indicates that they genuinely are doing the same jobs that men do.

Mode of address = they seem excited and enthusiastic by the opportunity to experience firefighting, reminding us that girls don't normally get these experiences or opportunities, even in today's society.

Facial expression = the girls seemed to be enjoy themselves in the firefighter boot camp and I can tell this from their facial expression. They seemed proud of themselves for accomplishing something which is generally assossiated with the opposite sex.

Time allocation = there are only women in the video, showing how important the project is for them. The young girls have the vast majority of the screen time. This is again, highlighting the importance of the firefighter boot camp for the young girls to express their strength and determination and drive to break the female stereotype.
