Based on the main consumptions of the target au dience of beer, mostly male consumers, female are always chosen to be the main character of beer commercial, repetitively appeared as objectified or discri minated characters in the commercial. Results show that the shot distance and the bending and lifting angles used are correlated with the degree whether female are treated equally. If camera techniques were used properly, avoiding using the objectifying female semiotics, then the improper situation of sexual discrimination would be decreased.
