I feel that, in a way, our trailer does comply with this theory, in the respect that it is displaying violence against women and therefore placing women in a subordinate position. This may be viewed as displaying a sexist viewpoint, however, we have been careful to ensure that we display the violence from both the female and male perspective to ensure our trailer in not entirely portrayed 'at a male angle'.For example, we have used frequent shots of our lead female character on her own as well as our lead male character.
Furthermore, we have been mindful not to over sexualize the female characters in our trailer (e.g- through displaying sexual scenes) as this may cause viewers to take the message of domestic violence less seriously and may legitimate the use of women as 'sexual objects' in media text.
