'Legally Blonde' Film Study - Gender Stereotypes

This is a table containing analysis of 5 film techniques identified within the opening scene of the film ‘Legally Blonde’ directed by Robert Luketic.

‘Legally Blonde’ could be studied in a unit of study about Gender Stereotypes whereby students view a film and then deconstruct and analyse the way film techniques are used to portray different ideas regarding Gender Stereotypes.

The analysis table attached identifies film techniques used within the opening scene of this film and explains the creator’s possible purpose and/or the effect of each on the viewer. This was created to use with students in class as a sample, with the intention that they could then select two different scenes from the film on their own, and identify film techniques used within each to complete the two empty analysis tables that follow.
