This assessment requires you to demonstrate understanding of at least THREE media texts and produce either:
a narrated visual (5-10 minutes in length)
or
an essay (1000 words in length)
showing your understanding of aspects of the representation of teenage girls.
We will talk about our class example in this period and then brainstorm some other otpions you could explore to fulfill your other texts.
It is then up to you to chose which texts you would like to focus on.
The point of the blog is to 'aid' your research process and help you in completing your final peice.
You need to start looing into and collecting:
Screen grabs from a film
Tv programme
or website
You can also use magazine advertisements, film/you tube clips and music videos.
You need to be considering:
How characterisation/ casting and/or costume etc convey representation
The diffference between the representation and reality (compare the teenager in the text with real world examples of teenagers today)
How stereotypes, messages and/or values are created through the representation
Why certain material has been used and other material maybe missed out
The connection between the representation and the world view/ideology of the media producers.
