Representation



Consider the Representation of the following groups, places or issues...
  • The Gay Communty
  • The Mining Community
  • 1980s Britain
  • Youth
  • Masculinity
  • Older People

In pairs, create a page on the blog that examine's the representation of one of the ideas above...

  1. Start by discussing how you both feel that group/concept/place has been represented - brainstorm some ideas.
  2. Between you, think of some key scenes which illustrate the points you have made.
  3. Divide these scenes up between you (at least two each) and write a paragraph of analysis which proves the points you are making*
  4. Embed some video clips from the movie which help prove your point (preferably the scenes you discuss
  5. Include images that help us visualise he points you are making
  6. Label with both of your names and Representations in Pride
*Remember to use evidence to back up your points from any of the following...

  • Appearance, dress codes, cultural signifiers
  • Framing, editing and music
  • Characters, attitudes, dialogue
  • Stereotypical, traditional, challenging representations
  • Theoretical perspectives e.g. Gauntlett, Dyer, Lacey, Mulvey etc
  • Use clips of the film to illustrate points, the exam board will be expecting examples!

Hint: the best paragraphs will use a combination of several of these.


Be thorough and make this page insightful, interesting and thorough - it will be used as a revision resource for the rest of the group!
