Introduction to media representations

Wednesday 8th June 2022

LO:

To explore the concept of representation and stereotypes. 


Media offers the audience an interpretation of the world 


a stereotype is a generalised representation of a person, place or thing 

they are limited and often offensive or used for comedy 


nanny- old female

nurse - young female who works in a hospital 

teenager - loud noisy and rude 

astronaut - middle aged man 

football player - a young famous rich man who is athletic and fast 

opera fan - very old people who are rich 

teacher - smart male or female 

tattoo lover - smokes and is middle aged


stereotypes- are they reinforced or challenged?

 reinforced - the year 9 girls are being represented by being loud, noisy and disruptive

one of the teachers are being represented as an entertainer and he is stressed and also he is energetic it also represents new teachers as to being teased easily

Also you can have something with lots of cuts but not very tense. 1) how many times you can see a camera= 4 2) The cameras were on rails and also it was on the car  to reflect someone onto a mirror without showing the camera you have to get the correct angle to show the person and not show the camera.
