HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA
PRODUCT REPRESENT
PARTICULAR SOCIAL
GROUPS?
KEY REPRESENTATIONSIn my film introduction, I made sure that the audience were straight away able
to relate/acknowledge what the film is about and what’s going on (mischief). We
want the teenage audience to straight away guess that the film is targeted at
them.
Some key areas of representation:
Location
Regional Identity
Gender
Ethnicity
Costume
Class
Age
There are key elements used in real world social realism films, such as using an
estate for location, the use of tracksuits are used for outfits a lot of the time or by
focusing on working class to fit the stereotype. Therefore, in order to get our
media product to match these real world products, we planned ahead and made
sure of what key aspects we need to focus on in order to match correctly. We did
this by researching and watching several social realist films e.g. Adulthood and
COSTUME, ETHNICITY AND
LOCATION
By dressing our actors up in hoodies and tracksuits, it is
portraying the teenage stereotype ‘correctly’ as this is how
many young British boys represent themselves as it perhaps
brings a sense of intimidation to the public. To have our
film appear conventional, the main protagonist is mixed
raced. This portrays the stereotypical look of a violent
teenager up to no good.
The location right at the
beginning shows the area in
a dark setting with street
lights on and a grey, dusty
fence. This is so that the
working class ‘look’ of the
area is clear to the audience
and signify negativity or
trouble.
As you can see on the right, we’ve made use of
young faces and dark costumes. We decided to
choose black costumes as it connotes intimidation
and evilness. This fits in well with the behaviour
of our characters and our genre of media product
as it matches the other key elements of social
realist films. As you can tell between the different
media products, the age, gender (male) and
ethnicity is very similar. Many of the protagonists
in British social realism films are of a different
background other than white British. In
Kidulthood, the main protagonist is of
Turkish/North African decent and in One Mile
Away he is black. Therefore we believed that
having our main protagonist mixed raced made it
Anuvahood; Kidulthood; One Mile Away
The Way Out
MEDIA PORTRAYAL OF
TEENAGERS
It is clear to us that the media tends to represent teenagers in a negative and usually, awful way. I have
gathered some right wing vs left wing news papers and how the two differ when it comes to teen
representation and clips from movies giving a clear demonstration that it is targeted at them by using some
key elements to fit the negative stereotype.
Examples of left and right wing UK
newspapers
Left wing
- The Mirror
- The Guardian
Right wing
- Daily Mail
- The Times
- Daily Star
- Daily express
Neutral
-The Sun
- The Independent
Left wing newspaper (mainly targeted at working class) beliefs usually look to the future, aiming to support
those who cannot support themselves and believe in equality. Whereas right wing (mainly targeted at
conservatives) beliefs usually lean over to a traditional point of view and believe in survival of the fittest,
meaning they believe that we should all look after ourselves and believe they shouldn’t have to pay for other
peoples education and health service.
From my research and prior knowledge coming across newspapers, I’ve found that right wing newspapers
tend do portray teenagers in a much more negative way. Left wing newspapers attempt to avoid representing
teens in such a dreadful way however they frequently do.
In the next slide, you will see the ways in which the two represent teenagers...
RIGHT WING REPRESENTATION OF TEENS
The sub-heading ‘Thugs and Thieves’ written beside the
young male fit the rest of many other teenagers stereotype
and representation in society.
The flames firing behind the boy whilst he’s
showing no reaction but a relaxed and laid back
attitude show that he’s careless just like other
teens. This brings about a very negative image
amongst British teens.
He’s wearing a tracksuit with trainers and his hood up.
This sort of look reflects the majority of what young
people wear in teenaged dramas (example on previous
slide)
‘The Times’ another newspaper
leaning towards the right wing, refer to
the young rioters as ‘Mobs’. Suggesting
teens are troublesome and violent.
The word ‘Rule’ implying that teens
are threatening and want to take
charge.
Again, associating a teen issue (rioting)
with fire, connoting that they are
dangerous and warning.
My media product fits in very well with the representation of teens in terms of costume, age group, use of
language, ethnicity and location. My general knowledge and research of teenage representation has allowed me
to gain more information than before, to be then creating a successful media product by putting all of this
information into use (our final piece.)

EVALUATION 2

  • 1. HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS?
  • 2. KEY REPRESENTATIONSIn my film introduction, I made sure that the audience were straight away able to relate/acknowledge what the film is about and what’s going on (mischief). We want the teenage audience to straight away guess that the film is targeted at them. Some key areas of representation: Location Regional Identity Gender Ethnicity Costume Class Age There are key elements used in real world social realism films, such as using an estate for location, the use of tracksuits are used for outfits a lot of the time or by focusing on working class to fit the stereotype. Therefore, in order to get our media product to match these real world products, we planned ahead and made sure of what key aspects we need to focus on in order to match correctly. We did this by researching and watching several social realist films e.g. Adulthood and
  • 3. COSTUME, ETHNICITY AND LOCATION By dressing our actors up in hoodies and tracksuits, it is portraying the teenage stereotype ‘correctly’ as this is how many young British boys represent themselves as it perhaps brings a sense of intimidation to the public. To have our film appear conventional, the main protagonist is mixed raced. This portrays the stereotypical look of a violent teenager up to no good. The location right at the beginning shows the area in a dark setting with street lights on and a grey, dusty fence. This is so that the working class ‘look’ of the area is clear to the audience and signify negativity or trouble. As you can see on the right, we’ve made use of young faces and dark costumes. We decided to choose black costumes as it connotes intimidation and evilness. This fits in well with the behaviour of our characters and our genre of media product as it matches the other key elements of social realist films. As you can tell between the different media products, the age, gender (male) and ethnicity is very similar. Many of the protagonists in British social realism films are of a different background other than white British. In Kidulthood, the main protagonist is of Turkish/North African decent and in One Mile Away he is black. Therefore we believed that having our main protagonist mixed raced made it Anuvahood; Kidulthood; One Mile Away The Way Out
  • 4. MEDIA PORTRAYAL OF TEENAGERS It is clear to us that the media tends to represent teenagers in a negative and usually, awful way. I have gathered some right wing vs left wing news papers and how the two differ when it comes to teen representation and clips from movies giving a clear demonstration that it is targeted at them by using some key elements to fit the negative stereotype. Examples of left and right wing UK newspapers Left wing - The Mirror - The Guardian Right wing - Daily Mail - The Times - Daily Star - Daily express Neutral -The Sun - The Independent Left wing newspaper (mainly targeted at working class) beliefs usually look to the future, aiming to support those who cannot support themselves and believe in equality. Whereas right wing (mainly targeted at conservatives) beliefs usually lean over to a traditional point of view and believe in survival of the fittest, meaning they believe that we should all look after ourselves and believe they shouldn’t have to pay for other peoples education and health service. From my research and prior knowledge coming across newspapers, I’ve found that right wing newspapers tend do portray teenagers in a much more negative way. Left wing newspapers attempt to avoid representing teens in such a dreadful way however they frequently do. In the next slide, you will see the ways in which the two represent teenagers...
  • 5. RIGHT WING REPRESENTATION OF TEENS The sub-heading ‘Thugs and Thieves’ written beside the young male fit the rest of many other teenagers stereotype and representation in society. The flames firing behind the boy whilst he’s showing no reaction but a relaxed and laid back attitude show that he’s careless just like other teens. This brings about a very negative image amongst British teens. He’s wearing a tracksuit with trainers and his hood up. This sort of look reflects the majority of what young people wear in teenaged dramas (example on previous slide) ‘The Times’ another newspaper leaning towards the right wing, refer to the young rioters as ‘Mobs’. Suggesting teens are troublesome and violent. The word ‘Rule’ implying that teens are threatening and want to take charge. Again, associating a teen issue (rioting) with fire, connoting that they are dangerous and warning. My media product fits in very well with the representation of teens in terms of costume, age group, use of language, ethnicity and location. My general knowledge and research of teenage representation has allowed me to gain more information than before, to be then creating a successful media product by putting all of this information into use (our final piece.)
  • 6. RIGHT WING REPRESENTATION OF TEENS The sub-heading ‘Thugs and Thieves’ written beside the young male fit the rest of many other teenagers stereotype and representation in society. The flames firing behind the boy whilst he’s showing no reaction but a relaxed and laid back attitude show that he’s careless just like other teens. This brings about a very negative image amongst British teens. He’s wearing a tracksuit with trainers and his hood up. This sort of look reflects the majority of what young people wear in teenaged dramas (example on previous slide) ‘The Times’ another newspaper leaning towards the right wing, refer to the young rioters as ‘Mobs’. Suggesting teens are troublesome and violent. The word ‘Rule’ implying that teens are threatening and want to take charge. Again, associating a teen issue (rioting) with fire, connoting that they are dangerous and warning.
