Preferred Reading:
(Producers of a media text, design it with a certain meaning in mind)
- Women are objects, they can be bought like 'Candy'.
- If you spend money on a woman, you have the right to do what you want with them. If you are rich and a man, you are allowed to be with many women.
- 'I'll have you spending all you got'- Olivia = Women are gold diggers
- Women 'ask for it' because of the way they dress.
- Tattoos, muscles, hats, gold expensive chains and big make you 'cool'.
Oppositional Reading:
(Audiences can choose to read them in any way they please- usually in a different and unintended way)
- 50 Cent is controlled by women because they have what he wants. Therefore women have more power than men.
- Also, when the girls are dancing in red- it shows them being fierce and powerful.
Preferred Reading:
- Girls have a lot of girl friends and they like to stick by each other.
- They like to have fun and do stereotypically 'girly' things. E.g: Putting on make up.
- They are always happy and bubbly.
- Girls aren't that smart and quite 'typical'
Oppositional Reading:
- Girls/ women are independent and don't need men to be happy.
- Girls are naive and that's a good thing because it spreads happiness.
