Study Of Representation

Age:
For age, i chose the film 'The Avengers'. This film varies to different age categories, and the hero's in the film, may be idols to many people; mainly young boys and girls. This film is categorized as an 'action' type of film. This film is for all members of the family, it shows some funny scenes and it uses good use of different shots and effects. This film may also attract teen girls and boys; this is because of the actors and actresses in the film. The boys may be attracted to the female hero; Black Widow, as where the girls may be attracted to the handsome heros; Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and the Hulk.

Gender:
For gender, i chose the advert for the lynx deodorant. This advert shows how the 'dominant' but clueless male is the main role, due to the fact that he has sprayed this deodorant onto himself, and then within a flash, shows a bunch of females being used as sexual pleasures due to the lack of clothing they are wearing.

Events:
In the video clip that was released in November 2013, Justin Bieber is shown sleeping in the bed of another woman who is anonymous to the press. This represents him as being a bad, irresponsible person for not behaving sensibly and casually sleeping around with any woman he pleases. Also using his fame, just for his own sexual pleasures. His fans could argue that he was possibly drugged or under the influence of something the previous night that caused him to act irresponsibly. Some could also add that just because he was in someone else's bed, it does not necessarily mean that they had sex.

Issues:
This picture is a negative representation of terrorism. This image which was taken from www.theenglishdefenceleagueextra.blogspot.com is a negative representation because horrible names are stuck all over this person's face. These names are the ones that we would think twice about calling anyone to offend them. It makes us realise that we are very quick and judgmental to go and call every Muslim those names that are on that models face, simply because we, unfortunately, see Muslims as being stereotypes of terrorism.

Ethnicity:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1454029/?ref_=nv_sr_1 -

This films theme is about the black and white social class divide. This film represents black people as being lower in a social class than the white. According to history - although is does not promote racial quality if the film was based in present day - this is an accurate representation of black people. Some may argue that Viola Davis' character; Ailbileen Clark, is a countertype of black people in this film because she aspires to be accepted.

The Help (2011





National and Regional Identity:
For this factor, i chose the TV series; "The Valleys". This show is a British reality television series based in Cardiff, Wales. This show a bunch of Welsh youngsters living their wild frantic lives, and whilst being filmed and living the dream, they also give 'Wales' a bad name, although, it is quite amusing to watch them make fools of themselves.
