I found it pretty easy to do the men's side of the mood board; A-A is a genre dominated by men, and the archetypal male character has not changed over the years. This character has become a solid A-A staple that will be hard to change. I found the women's side much harder as women feature much less in the A-A genre. As I filled the page with images, I realised, unlike men's portrayal in A-A, the archetypal A-A woman has changed over time. She has changed from a helpless damsel in distress, who needs a man to save her, to someone equally as capable as the man, sometimes even more so. |
