Representation Task


Prince Harry is quite clearly in the upper class as he is royalty however he is a young man and he has a love to go partying and having some fun. The media has caught up with this and has caught him in the act in las Vegas being naked and having his fun with the Ladies. This is a negative representation of the royal family as Price Harry is up to no good. I have identified this because the public expect our Royal Family not to be going out messing around with women and ending up naked.

The London riots were a huge negative representation in the media for the lower class as thousands of lower class people took advantage of a young man being killed by the police and started looting shops and destroying areas in London.

Representations Task


Gender
Keith Lemon's comedy game show Celebrity Juice has the likes of Holly Willoughby and Fern Cotton being his assistants in the game show. He targets the both of them in quite a sexist way which shows a negative comedy which some people take offence however most people who watch the show love his humour.

Age
Gandalf is a perfect example of the representation in media of age as he is a wise old wizard who everybody looks up to. He is a positive representation of the elderly and i have identified this as characters such as Frodo always look up to him for knowledge and guidance.

Representation Task


This is a great example of how racism is portrayed in television shows as it firstly shows a non muslim male and people are in from everywhere to help him however when the actor dresses as a muslim he is ignored by nearly every single one, this is both positive and negative as there are people out there like the man at the end of this clip who helps out but the clip is mainly negative as most people ignore him due to his religion.

Construction and Mediation Task

 This is Danyl Johnson and he is about to enter with his first audition for the X Factor and it begins with voice over Dermot O'leary saying how its going to be tough for the next contestant as the whole day has been a 'waste' of time for the judges. He is a good looking young male and is a teacher which automatically makes the audience like him, as you can tell by the crowd cheering when he tells them he's a teacher. It also shows close up with him telling us how badly he wants it and how his students know his passion is music. It also starts with a build up of emotional music following close ups of him and how his students love him and there is a nice picture of him with his students. the crowd also get involved when he starts singing as he is very good and the judges faces instantly turn.
