Choose a question
two groups we study:
- British in media
- Youth (13-24 y/o)
Use 3 different types of media (internet, TV, YouTube, Newspapers, social media)
Media must be from last 5 years
Freedom in own thoughts and analysis
20 marks from explanation, argument, analyis
20 marks for examples
10 makes for theory/ terminology.
first part: Historical representations: Birth of teen in 50s -> modern day
Main bulk: last five year representations
Last part: reflection on future of teenagers's representation
Positive representations:
- Educating Yorkshire - stutter
- BGT
- X Factor
- Voice Kids
- Olympians, Tom Daley
- University Challenge
- Charity Shows - kids/ high schools donating money
Representation: The way reality is mediated to us
Theorists:
Snow: CD =a sense of "one-ness"
Poletta and Jasper = may be imagined, not experienced directly. CD created by outsider's generalisations
Identity = construction, not a reflection of identity.
How are youths represented in media? is it accurate?
Consider the dominant negative media representations
Youths creating own subculture/ CD with own values and codes. Create some of most influential artistic movements.
Create mood board of self. How different are we to family? to colleagues? to friends?
Belong to dominant culture or subculture?
