REPRESENTATION ISSUES TO CONSIDER
•As you develop your research and ideas you will need to consider the representations exist within existing products and the representations that you will construct in your own products:
•Representation in the media is concerned with how individual and groups of people, events and ideas are presented to audiences. What we see, hear and read in the media is a re-presentation of a subject it is not a real version of events it is constructed. Even a live broadcast is a representation, because you only see what is filmed by the camera operator. As a media studies student, it is important that you are able to identify and understand theserepresentations in the products and texts that you analyse and that you construct.
•You must show evidence of considering these representations in your own work and using them to construct your products and texts if you are to reach the higher grades.
Questions you must ask yourself about your own ideas
•How have different genders been represented?
•How have different age groups been represented?
•How have different races or religions been represented?
•Have any other groups been represented? If so, why?
•Have any other groups been deliberately unrepresented? If so, why?
•How accurate is the representation? Is it positive or negative? Is it sympathetic or unsympathetic? How is it intended to make the audience feel? Why?
•Can the representation be interpreted in different ways? Explain how.
•How is the representation constructed and why?
•What effect does the representation have on the intended audience?
•You should consider the representation of men and women.
•You should consider the representation of good versus evil or of other binary oppositions at play in your narrative.
•How is the representation of ideologies portrayed?
