In this trailer, the main girl who is being portrayed as young but majestic is willing to give her body away to men as a job. This creates an early representation of the girl being innocent and weak whilst under another's command. The simplistic shots and calm music contrasts with the raw story line, using Strauss' theory from the way it is presented with the role she's playing is very opposing.
The women in the footage are shown to be over ruled by men, with the example footage at 0:30 with the male dragging the unwilling female to the car, this enigma code opens up questions to the audience, drawing them in and making them more intrigued as to where she is being taken.
The women are shown as sexualised objects by subtle connotations such as the red/black colouring that they always have on their bodies, whether its clothing, shoes or make-up. The blank expressions, subtle and nerving positionings of the girl put the audience on edge, making the audience already pity the young character.
However the profound female narrator playing the leading role of the job shows power and dominance over all the males and surrounding females. She maintains control throughout the whole of the scenes, this contrasts to the other girl's position being the complete opposite to the young one. This also relates to the binary opposition theory, showing the two opposing roles of the two women; the girl being presented as the weak and innocently connected one and the woman being shown as the leader, fulfilling a usual males position.
