This document outlines the planned scenes and logistics for filming a short film. It details locations, equipment needs, cast involved, and brief descriptions of the action in each scene. The story appears to follow two friends, Becky and Allanah, through a typical school day, their interactions at home with family, finding an old photo reminding them of happier times, and ultimately reconnecting at the park while looking at the shared memory. Filming will require use of cameras, tripods, drones, and other standard equipment to capture the scenes at various homes, schools, and outdoor locations.
R&B originated in the 1940s and was created by artists like Count Basie and Louis Jordan. It is a genre of pop music with black origins that features soulful vocals and improvisation. R&B stands for rhythm and blues but has also encompassed other dance styles like doo wop and funk over time. The genre is popular with both teenagers and adults, and audiences now access R&B music primarily through streaming platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and iTunes. Examples of popular modern R&B artists mentioned include The Weekend, Rihanna, Drake, and Beyoncé.
The document provides a timeline of key developments in music videos from the 1920s to the present day. It notes some early examples of music videos in the 1930s and 1940s, including "Screen songs" which were animated cartoons set to music. It discusses the increasing popularity of music videos in the 1950s-1970s as they were used to promote songs on television. The 1980s saw the launch of MTV which greatly expanded the music video industry. New technologies in the 2000s like YouTube and streaming services have allowed global audiences to access music videos online.
This document discusses several theories related to identity formation and media representations of youth:
- Social Identity Theory explains how people categorize themselves into social groups and align with others based on shared traits, developing a sense of belonging.
- Hegemony describes how the dominant social class makes its values and way of life seem normal and natural to maintain control, using mechanisms like education and media.
- Media representations of youth are often constructed by adults to reflect their own anxieties rather than youth realities, and can influence public perceptions over time through repeated exposure.
- Exaggerating deviant youth behavior can lead to moral panics and further justification of state control over young people.
The document provides guidance on choosing between raster/bitmap and vector graphics programs and assigns two brief tasks. It notes that raster/bitmap uses pixels and is best for working with photos, while vector does not use pixels and is best for working with shapes. It then assigns a task to redesign a TV series poster using Illustrator, a vector graphics program, and a second task to write a 300-word article using photographs on a media-related topic.
Buckingham's theory suggests that media do not offer transparent reflections of reality but constructed versions intended to maintain dominance. When applied to representations of youth, the media historically constructed unrealistic and subjective portrayals to avoid "chaos" and promote social control, but have become more reflective over time as they challenge dominant ideologies. Examples from films in the 1950s-90s like Rebel Without a Cause showed carefully constructed extremes of youth behavior to create moral panic, while more recent films like The Selfish Giant offer more balanced, realistic reflections that lessen dichotomies between youth and adults. While media still portray some youth subcultures and deviance, they now also provide context and seek to build understanding between audiences and youth.
This document discusses the complexity of media representations of youth subcultures. While media often relies on stereotypes that portray youth as rebellious enemies of society, some representations provide more complexity. For example, the film The Selfish Giant shows how deviant behavior in youth is sometimes driven by desires to support their families in poverty-stricken communities, rather than just mindless rebellion. More recently, the TV show Top Boy portrays gang life not just as deviance but as serving important social and survival functions for youth. However, media still tends to oversimplify youth identities and behaviors by attaching deviance to other motivations. Overall, while stereotypes are still used, some media provides a more complex and contextual understanding of
The document discusses the complexity of media representations of youth compared to the simplicity of past representations. It analyzes several films and TV shows that portray both positive and negative aspects of youth, like struggles they face with poverty and neglect alongside criminal behavior. While older media focused on youth delinquency to create moral panic, contemporary works provide more understanding of influencing factors and show youth and adults overcoming conflicts. Therefore, the document argues media representations of youth have become more nuanced over time.
1) Media representations of youth in the 1950s were rather simplistic, typically portraying teenagers as well-behaved and conforming or rebelling against strict adult authority.
2) Films like Rebel Without a Cause in the 1950s and Quadrophenia in the 1970s showed rebellious, "delinquent" youth behavior but also portrayed the emotional struggles of teenagers and generational conflicts with parents.
3) More recent films and TV shows provide more complex representations of youth, showing both rebellious behavior but also understanding of social and family issues facing teenagers today.
