Section 2: Collective Identity

Analyse the way in which media represents different groups of people.

Looking at:

• Representations of young people in the media
• How people are mediated
• How people read the media
• How people construct their own identity

For example:
You interpret/read certain media's, such as music, differently based on your upbringing and social status

Must include:

• Lots of representations from British media of youth from the last five years (film, music, print/magazine) e.g. Ill Manners
• Historical context of British youth
• Theories
• Your own analysis

From:

• Cinema
• TV Representations
• Magazines and gender
• Representation of youth and youth cultures

Need to incorporate critics and writers who have developed ideas about representation and identity.

Last Paragraph: How do you think youth will be reflected in future years?
