Propp- Cinema: A visual anthropology
"Propp concluded tat there were thirty one narrative units and eight character types. The eight types include the hero, the villain the princess the donor, the magical helper, the dispatcher, these roles are sometimes distributed among various characters and sometimes one character plays more then one role" - Page 54
Olvia Biondi- "Gender Stereotypes in Reality TV: An Investigation of "The Real World"
"Cultivation is the cumulative process by which television fosters beliefs about social reality, as the idea that only repetitive, long range and consistent exposure to patterns common to most programming such as casting, social typing and the fate of different social types can be expected to cultivate stable and widely shared images of life and society".- page 2 chapter 1
"stereotypes of women continue to occur. in prime time television, men still outnumber in a way that over represent male population and under represent the female population" - PAGE 3 chapter 1- Relates to smurfette principal.
"Androgyny refers to a blend of traits that are stereotypically associated with both masculinity and femininity. However such transcendence is not equal for women and men. Although females are becoming more masculine partly because our society values whatever is masculine, men are not becoming more feminine."
Video analysis
Using CLAMPS to analyse this video we can clearly see how Amy and Benny are dressed differently which refers to their character types as we have penny in a blue dress and Amy in a cardigan, which shows the different type of women in society and how we objectigy certain ones as with penny in the dress she is clearly there to attract the male gaze where as amy is there for the comedy (sexy vs normal girl). Furthermore we see the lighting bright but coming from the lamps etc from within the scene refering to the comedy genre and the "normal" daily life idea to go with the sitcom ideologies which is one to present a normal life style so audineces can relate to the scene and the show. and with the actors we see how penny and amy are talking about the men in their life which relates to the "Bechdel Test" which was created by feminists which is a test that movies within the oscars had to pass in order to see if the film was "female friendly" and the test consisted of two or more women in the cast, the women are in the same scene together and if they talk more then 30 seconds and are they talking anything besides men. Which we see in the scene big bang theory fails at as Penny and Amy are talking about "guy problems" with each other the stereotypical "girls night out", not really representing females as independent and career oriented. And also the props within the scene we see Penny trying to remove facial hair of Amy which again refers to the female physical oreientation as society has this "picture perfect" image of females and with Amy trying to conform to "her blonde friends ways" we see that society forces women to conform to the social norms and female audiences accept this representation of themselves. Lastly the fact the audience are watching their "private beauty sessions" it gives a sense of voyeurism as we are invading women's personal life, and that it is a norm to know what goes on behind close doors of women's life.
