Taken
1) The people and groups found in the Taken trailer are; a American dad who's daughter has been taken along with her best friend, the wife, best friends family, kidnappers in Paris and a man being tortured.
2) The dad is the most dominant in his portrayal, the reason is because of the screen time given to him in the trailer was quite large and this also applies to his daughter and his wife but the reason he's the most dominant in his portrayal is because of his voice over the action montage. The rest of the characters are mainly portrayed alternatively due to just being the there to add to the plot, however this can not be said for main kidnapper who we only see for a glance, but is because even though he has so little screen time in the trailer (a flash of him) it is done purposefully so to add impact to his character.
3) Stereotypes found within the trailer are the perfect little family, as well as the male being predominantly in charge and the females being weak frail characters that need looking after, seen from the daughter and father in the trailer.
4) The Taken trailer could have offended or have alienated certain groups because it shows how men have to be tough and strong whilst women are displayed as being weak and frailer than them which is why groups like the LGBT+ and feminist may feel offended or alienated by the film.
5) Mainstream films and television texts such as Taken often use stereotypes because even though the times are constantly changing these stereotypes actually used to be the norm for a lot of people and these people like things like this and feel comfortable with these stereotypes and make up most of the viewing audience for the mainstream films and television texts such as Taken, which is why they so often use stereotypes.
No Offence
1) A group of bobbies (British police) go above and beyond to bring down the criminal rabble in a crumbling cop-shop and chavs.
2) The group of bobbies and chavs are portrayed dominantly, the reason this is done so was to show the viewing audience the main cast and to show the show is humorous, whilst the alternative portrayal of the criminal rabble in Britain are done so to show how they are insignificant compared compared to the group of bobbies.
3)Stereotypes in the trailer are that British people are chavs.
4)The No Offence trailer could have offended or have alienated certain groups because it shows highbrow British people the chavy side of their homeland, which they might try to avoid.
5) Mainstream films and television texts such as No Offence often use stereotypes because they want to get to a more traditional and loyal audience, however in this case they had done it to add a comedic effect.
