Representation 1st try !!

  • Youth violence. Character damien is in a conflicting stituation where his past comes up on him. While on barking a journey to leave his past behind, he is a confronted with a dilemma of being a witness of youth crime and it comes down to him to watch this person become a victim to the society in which he lives.The setting, urban grey and cold environment, demonstrating the hegemonic view of the ruling class where it see's working class environments in which children live in to be of " lack of life", lacking vibrant and happy culture.The short clip consist of non digetic sound of an grime instrumental, keeping to the codes and conventions of the typical urban culture. take for example the film kidulthood , from the outset of the film it followed a specific stereotype, that would have to be appearence. This results immediately for the audience to identify with the characters and behaviour as it were as active hetrogenous audiences that choose to accept the messages put across because it portrayed as normal.This could be called a cutural model. where an idea or media message is put across to the audience yet immediate change in peoples values and opinions don't change but rather over time changes, leaving behind a long time effect. A brilliant example of this would be the 1979 sun newspaper where it decided to vote for conservatives. The readers did not change there values and opinions immediately yet as time progressed the values and opinions changed  leaving behind a lasting stereotype.A good example of this would be the film kidulthood where the many stereotypes of immoral and irresponsible teenagers are developed throughout the film and this in return becomes the dominant view of teenagers, so continuos films are portraying the same view in general .

  1. Some interesting ideas and a well written structure but rather short!!! Try and provide analysis without getting too complicated.
