3. Dominant Ideology
• Ideology is the values of a particular
character or a group of characters in
the film.
• The dominant ideology in film and
television is a white, middle class,
Christian, straight man.
• Although America black men are
becoming as dominant in film, for
example Morgan Freeman often
plays the lead.
4. Dominant ideology with our genre
Detective Murderer
• More likely to be a man. • Normally men
• Where as the detective • More likely to be working
more likely to be middle class
class.
The women are more
likely to be the victim
of the murder.
5. Challenging the dominant ideology
I think we are challenging the dominant because
the two characters we show in our opening
titles are both female.
