Stock characters in movies and TV

White house down

In the trailer for White house down A father called John Cale of a 14 year old daughter emily goes to the white house for an interview to get into the secret service but fails but there is a tour around the white house so to make his daughter happy he takes her o the tours but at the same time the white house gets attacked by terrorists and Jon Cale's daughter is missing in the white house so instead of just getting the president and escaping his daughter forces him to go through the movie to find her we never learn much about the daughter about from she likes the white house and she he John Cale's daughter so that is why I believe she is a stock character.

Dexter season 4 trailer

In this trailer Dexter is a cop who is also a serial killer and he is keeping it a secret so he does not get caught but he is a different type of serial killer he only murders people that have killed innocent people and have gotten away with it and in this trailer that main serial killer kills a woman in a bath tub we have not learnt anything about this character all we know is she lives in a house and got murdered in that house now she is a stock character because that makes Dexter want to find this person before the police does to make sure this serial killer gets the outcome which he deserves so this one stock character inspires the main protagonist for one whole season.

Example of post-traditional/anti-traditional women

Lady Gaga Judas

This music video is an example of anti-traditional women and this is because in this music video she is the leader of a biker gang and she dominates every man that is around her making sure they follow her rules so that she cannot get taken of advantage of also she does not really care about looking like a traditional woman she dresses the way she wants and likes it because she exerts what she is she does not let other people stop her.

Male gaze trailers

spring breakers

In this trailer there are about 4 young girls going around messing about being youthful girls but at the same time they are wearing scantily clad outfits to show off their good bodies and this helps attract male audiences to the movies because they know that men are attracted by these women in these type of outfits and they have lot of scenes in the trailer so that the male gaze comes into the play.
