"Most girls" by Hailee Steinfeld shows the division between all the females that are made by other people this maybe due to their colour of their skin or if they have different personalities etc. This music video has a positive and some negative representations of women. Starting with the negative you have women in short shorts and Hailee herself wearing multiple of clothing's which show off a lot of skin. There are also many scenes where there are close up shots which enables the audience to see more things up close, for example their toned bodies. Also not missing the fact that her video opens with her on a date with an male which thinks he’s complimenting her by saying that she’s “not like other girls” shows that in this video the representation of males are that they judge/insult/compare the opposite gender.

A positive representation would be that to show a variety of  representations of ‘Most Girls’ Hailee Steinfeld is then joined by more women with adjectives such as unstoppable, fearless, fierce, powerful etc to show people that every single female has their own personalities. However this video can also be seen as showing examples of fit and feminine women. Hailee then carries on showing the audience how females could be represented in four main different looks: her first look, in a fitted sportswear doing gym like sports showing that women are strong, second look is a short and elegant evening dress representing them as being unstoppable and beautiful, the third look portrays her as she likes to read which can represent the types of women who are smart and committed to what they want to do in life and lastly the fourth look shows women who are comfortable in their skin but also enjoy their passion in taking risks to create something beautiful in life. 

This short trailer of ‘The Other Women’ shows women as gullible people when it comes to love. This film demonstrates how 3 women fall in love with the same guy not knowing that he is married. He plays along with all three women not giving anything away about the other women he is seeing until Cameron Diaz finds out about his wife.  This shows that women believe everything the male says to them because they think they have fallen in love (love at first sight) which is also shown in this trailer. This trailer also gives the audience an insight to women represented as sex objects, for example the scenes where Cameron Diaz wears a short dress dressed as a plumber to look ‘sexy’, when the 3 women are wearing revealing swimwear’s which the films consist of close up shots to convey this and lastly when one of the females is jogging in her swimwear it’s shown to the audience in slow motion.

I would say that the audience this is could be aimed at would me mostly males but can also be for 12+ (as certified). The fact that he goes for women who has blonde hair shows a stereotype that they are ‘dumb blondes’ and that they can easily be fooled. There is also a representation of femininity as there are scenes where they take revenge showing them as strong and powerful but also Cameron Diaz who is a lawyer gives the impression of women who can be ‘bossy’. This also shows that women should be committed in a relationship but men would be happy if they are unfaithful. In ‘The Other Women’ women are presented as emotionally driven and crazy while men are represented as calm and wise. To finish off, this film gives the audience an understanding of the gender inequalities and their expectations of both genders.
