representation of women in sports is not just about the sports they play, it is about how they are shown when they are not playing.
They are passive, beautiful, sex objects and generally seen as happy as oppose to the men who are seen as aggressive when it comes to sporting activity.
Homework
Music starts off slow and as the video builds up the music builds up with it.
Drum beats at the start to build up to the tension. Matches the feeling of the drivers.
Establishing shots - The cutaways of the track matched with the beats of the music.
Showing shots of the people in the pit/ fixing racing car shows that its a team sport.
P.o.v. - puts you in the position of the driver.
commentators voice got louder to increase the excitement.
