Representation

The class in this short clip is what is being represented. They show the audience how people in the East of London live. For example, in this video you could see that they hang out at people’s houses which are quite uncared for, night clubs and so on; also, they use a lot of slang and the scenes occur at night. I think the episodes are very stereotypical to people living in the east of London because the audience will be thinking that all the people living there behave in this kind of awkward way, this then creates a two-step flow.

The representation was created well because the scene added to their characters. For example, where they went for a party was not a very clean or expensive place. The director made sure that they mostly hung out outside or close to the pubs. Furthermore, the actors always had props on them like a cigarette, beer or wine. The clothes that they wore showed us immediately that they are working classes or even lower that struggle in life and the scene they showed us was their life.

The representations are very realistic as some children in America still use illegal guns as toys or bait to something they really want. The producers were hoping to manipulate parents’ minds and therefore convince them to stand up to their kids and tell them that guns are wrong and to keep dangerous weapons away from children and mostly from schools.

I think this is stereotypical because the poster is creating a hyper syringe to the audience. Therefore, this will give people a bad impression of people living in America because of what the poster is telling them about what is happening there.

I thought the scenery was created very well because it made the audience see that weapons are dangerous. The scene has an American flag in the background which makes us know where the location is; also the book shelves showed us that it was located in a school. The gun that the girl is holding is effective as it shows us clearly what they are trying to tell us.

This poster represents classes and racism. This movie was set in Mississippi during the 1960’s, the coloured people (were lower class people) worked for the white people (which were middle class people). This movie makes the audience see how middle class people behaved to people of lower status and how they are not real friends to one another.

I thought the way they created the scenes where very good because they had very colourful houses like they did in the 1960’s (they even had Bakelite telephones). The director also made sure that the movie had a vintage colour. Their dressing generally was the most affective because they were colourful and the women always wore skirts or dresses. The scenes also showed the audience the contrasts between working class and middle classes. For example working classes did not have clean and colourful houses, but the middle classes had the complete opposite.
