Blog 10

For the final assemblage, there can two approaches in the rhetorical situation, depending if it is in a large scale manner, then the exigence will be how men and women as a whole are portrayed in film and television. The main focus will be on sexualization, gender roles and stereotypes. If the assemblage is on a smaller scale, then situation can be more refined. These are the two main ideas if broken up.

Exigence: Sexualization of men and women through the media. Sex sells and women are portrayed as sexual objects in order to gain viewers. In modern times, men can also be seen as sexual objects. This brings up the topic, whether women need to be desexualized and be portrayed like men or should be overtly sexualized like women; all in the sake for equality.
Modes: Advertisements (layout, typography, color, pictures, poses) Film and Television (Actors: men and women, software, cameras, setting, actor performance, character development)

Exigence: Evolution of women’s empowerment in film and television. Since the dawn of film, women have been sultry and shallow. Any sort of defining character trait is sacrificed in order to be plot devices for their male counterpart in order to his growth.
Modes: Film and Television (Actors, software, cameras, setting, actor performance, character development).

Audience: The exigences will appeal to many different audiences, namely feminists, film directors, writers, actors and actresses 


Constraints: Both exigences will contain all artistic proofs of pathos, ethos and logos. The main focus will be on gender roles, namely on feminism and how women do not need to be confined within their stereotypes.
