Q2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Representation in media terms simply means how different media products communicate with the audience. Media products tend to rely on STEREOTYPES. From back in September to November we studied TV drama. We we establish that not just in TV dramas characters are used to symbolise a certain group of people in society. For example youths are considers as being thugs and thief's. From this representation people will then generalise to this to all the youths in society. Some stereotypes contain a hint of truth in them but they tender to be exaggerated for entertainment, BUT this can cause a negative impact on different social groups. People shouldn't be marginalised due to media products. The more the media show negative representation the more they are willing to believe it. 


 
Here, I have used Final Cut Pro to explain the representation in The Run. In addition I have used real media 'kidulthood to support are representation.

Furthermore, real media that supports our The Run is 4321. These women cut stereotypes as they are powerful within there own self.
