This document provides guidance for students on exploring representation in action/adventure films for an exam question. It instructs students to analyze how characters are represented through makeup, costumes, props, body language, actions, and dialogue. Students are asked to watch a clip from the film Wanted and take notes on how the representations of the main male and female characters either reinforce or challenge gender stereotypes based on these elements. They will then discuss their findings and practice answering an exam question about the gender representations in the clip.
