The group has helped me in another question why is ' An investigation into the relationship between contemporary teens movies and earlier dated movies in society. What are the connection and similarities presented and what makes one more successful'? having shown a relationship this will help me understand and help me with making a comparisons and similarities also between movies on different centuries. In order to have a primary and secondary source i should insure that i look different teen movies and teen soap such as inbetweeners, skins, W10 LDN. Looking at British and Americans film would help me, which allow teens portrayal in these two areas. There are large varieties of representations to look at. I should also look into movies reviews on teen film possibly of reviewers ideas on how teen are presented in certain film. Marxist approach: Hegemony: why/who decides how teenagers are represented the dominant people in society (Shep). The ideas of people making decisions for the majority seems 'alienated' in itself. Why do some peoples ideologies and belief get heard and notice about teenagers and other don't. People think that they are deciding what to believe however the written producer etc.
These ideas definitely helped me, i have changed my mind in to a different platform, i thinking in to look at television how is teenagers portrayed in reality TV show or how teenagers attitude changed so this will be on newspaper and magazines.
Representation can be a part of your CI but cannot be all of it. The essay must be synoptic which means cover all areas of your study. You will need to ensure that you do this.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right to look away from teen movies and towards TV texts and cross platform. try to rephrase the title to avoid explicit use of the word representation. Instead try to phrase it in the forms that I suggested: investigation, exploration, how and why.
Very important: the research requires you to record what you have done, read widely and think deeply about what you discover. I am a little concerned that you don't seem as clear as you might and this makes we wonder what depth of research you have undertaken so far.
Please ensure that you bring everything with you to school for tomorrows lessons.
