Powered by Cincopa Video Hosting for Business solution.New Gallery 2015/3/17 Attack the block Here is a youth drama and this is a stereotypical representation of youths from youth dramas. youth dramas usually present the true nature of youths (unlike high school dramas which is usually over exaggerated) they represent this gang through their use of costume and props throughout the film they were these dark hooded clothes and carry around weapons. originaldate 1/1/0001 6:00:00 AM width 460 height 276 our final product We tried to portray the same thing in our opening with the costume and prop of the bike. although this representation is a negative one because not all youths are like the stereotype so it gives youths bad assumptions and older people like parents don't like to see gangs like these. originaldate 1/1/0001 6:00:00 AM width 1600 height 901 Attack the block this screenshot is of one of the youths mother telling him he can only go out for 10 minutes more after she said he just couldn't go out at all, parents are represented as loving but oblivious to what their kids are really doing. This could be seen as negative in the view of other parents originaldate 1/1/0001 6:00:00 AM width 1280 height 720 Attack the block this is another career of one of the youths however this one is elderly and had no power over the boy. This is usually how the elderly are represented in all media not just youth dramas, as powerless and insignificant.
We tried to portray a nagging mother through our voice over at the start of our sequence asking Marcus "what does he do all day?" originaldate 1/1/0001 6:00:00 AM width 1280 height 720 Mean Girls This is a high school drama, high school dramas are usually set in a school, just like mean girls so show different representations of youths, here we have the 'varsity jocks' who are represented as dumb and usually have the "hottest girl in school" originaldate 1/1/0001 6:00:00 AM width 640 height 480 Mean Girls here the authority is the teachers and in this film there is a range of different representations of teachers originaldate 1/1/0001 6:00:00 AM width 634 height 410 Mean Girls These are the popular girls sometimes known as "sluts".The mise en scene of their low cut tops and short skirts tells us this, this is also a stereotypical representation of blonds (as well as the dumb blonde stereotype) originaldate 1/1/0001 6:00:00 AM height 506 width 779 orientation 1 camerasoftware Google Mean Girls We have the classic gym teacher who is inconsiderate of the students feels and is very blunt. originaldate 1/1/0001 6:00:00 AM width 500 height 260 Mean Girls we also have the strict teacher that no one dares to go against or test, this is a complex representation as youths that watch this film may see this teacher as negative because of the strictness but parents might see it as a positive and want their kids to have a teacher like that. originaldate 1/1/0001 6:00:00 AM width 1000 height 650 Mean Girls in this film the parents are represented as "cool & willing to do anything for their children. This is also a complex representation as other parents may think this film is portraying parents in a negative and naïve way but kids may see it as a positive representation
we did not try to follow any of the mean girls stereotypes as we made a youth drama & the stereotypes would seem out of place originaldate 1/1/0001 6:00:00 AM width 500 height 228
Representation is how a mass media text choses to portray
someone or something.
Teen drama films can represent the same person in completely
different ways depending on the sub genre. Also the sub genres
specifically have certain groups they would usually represent. e.g high school dramas usually represent youths as free spirited and fun while youth dramas usually represent youths as hood rats and anti social.
The main social group we are representing in our title sequence is teenage/adolescent boys. We conform to the stereotype about black young teenage boys seen in teen dramas and wider media’s. They are costumed in tracksuits & hoods, one person is on a bike that some may assume to be stolen. This portrays a negative representation of young boys, although in the voice over Marcus says he just sees them as his group of ‘friends’ not a gang.
