This week, as well as focusing on your planning for your Foundation Portfolio, you are required to write an essay on representation.
I want you to watch the following extract from a TV Drama series, a few times.
The first time, just watch it. The second time, take some notes. The third time, take some more notes as you actively look for representational codes, stereotypes and messages that are presented to us about any of the 7 core media representations that you can identify or recognise in this clip.
Keep the following questions in mind;
1. What groups are being represented to us?
2. Are the messages challenging or conforming to what the media usually portrays in relation to this specific group?
3. How are the 4 technical elements used to send a message about the characters and who they represent in society?
This needs to reflect not just surface observations but a deeper analysis of the way different societal groups are represented and how that impacts the viewer and ultimately society on a broader scale.
All the best and I'm looking forward to seeing your rough draft for marking on Friday.
