The reason I have chosen her is because she holds similar qualities to Monica (right) in my film opening.<br />Similarities <br />Lisa and Monica have similar roles whereby they go to all extents to steal another woman’s husband.<br />Obsessed and Fixation are both set within a working environment therefore; the character’s are dressed in smart attire. However; in hope to allure their male targets dress becomes slightly provocative.<br />Lisa is a white blue-eyed, blonde haired female, roughly about 5’8 and of slim build. Monica is a brown skinned, black woman approximately 5’5, and has a slender body shape. Her hair is mid length and has a straightened, smooth appearance.<br />Lisa and Monica both appear quite overbearing, fiery and bold.<br />-34290244475<br />The above photograph shows actress Sian Reeves who plays part of Sally Spode in the T.V drama Emmerdale. Although this is a T.V drama the same narrative was used therefore; in this felt it was suitable in this case. <br />Monica and Sally again are of similar roles whereby, they are a woman scorned, who sets their sights on a man who married attempting various tactics to win their affection. However; there are a few differences between these two characters to include: <br />Sally is rather dull and dreary whereas Monica has more sex appeal. I found this to be rather unconventional as the characters that play these types of roles are usually striking and desirable however; as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Further to add, it is a pleasure to see that this T.V drama has broke the stereotype of characters who play this type of role as not to degrade the role of women.

2. Sally was a former girlfriend of her love rival however; Monica’s was a love at first sight.The reason I chose to conform to these conventions was purely because I wanted it to be believable and authentic for the audience.<br />When concluding this evaluation task I would say that Fixation represents women as being quite domineering, sexy and malicious. Reason being it makes a change from the conventional stereo typical role whereby, the male is seducing the female. My intentions were not to present women negatively however; I wanted to show that women can just be as cunning men. I am aware that not all women are like this however; given the limited time frame it would have been unfeasible to represent all the different types of women. In addition, as my target audience is varied I wanted to make something that was enjoyable for all.<br />
