Media representation rarely challenge the dominant value of society nor do they give a voice to those with little power. To what extent is this true for the group or place you have studied? why?

Black people were challenged in the society in the 1900s. Black hollywood is stereotyped negatively in the society. They are usually not given a voice to those with little power, however this is changing. e.g Will Smith, he is known well in the US. Hegemony favor those with power at the expense of those without. The first black character seen on screen were white actor in ‘blackface’. Negative black representation in film reached its height in 1915. It could be said that black hollywood challenged the dominant value of society and they did not give a voice to those with little power.

There are many stereotypes attached to Black hollywood, such as ‘The Tom- the good negro, ‘The coon’, ‘The Tragic Mulatto’, ‘The Mammy’, ‘The Brutal Black Buck’. The film Crash (2004) directed by Paul Haggis shows a scene where two black men Chris (Ludacris also known as a black rapper and songwriter) and Peter (Larenza) discuss the stereotypical view of black people within the American society. They comment on not getting a coffee when they didn’t want one in the first place. The audience may start to emphasis with the two character and think they are the good negro, they start to feel sorry for them , however this changes in the next scene when a white couple come walking from their car, peter say “she gets cold as soon as she sees us do we look threatening?, no if anyone should be scared it should be us” he ask a rhetorical question and answer his own question showing that he is sure that they are not threatening. This also connotes that the situation is flipped all because the area that they are in is dominated by white people and they are the only two black people around. “coz we got a gun” they may suggest that they are not intellectual and that they are carrying a gun for safety, however they conform to the stereotypes which they are tying to justify. They threaten the white couple and ‘carjack’ and this then prove they woman point when she got close to her husband and that she was scared, her thought confirm the two black men’s action. Cohen suggested that the term moral panic in the film were often imitated, and this could cause a decline in society.

Black hollywood film has many ways of expressing their emotion and feeling, they are represented in different ways and seen to be different, this is because of society expectation and the individuals values and beliefs, film may suggest that that they are dominant.

1. Compare and contrast the two texts with reference to the representation of conflict? (8marks)

* The two text are represented by military conflict, one of which had an advertisement showing that you can buy military product. This connotes that you can buy the gear and join. On the same website there was entertainment side where you can play games and have pleasure in playing. There was also a social networking which you can add to talk or became a friend to. There was video to witness the killing and abuse, this may been to get people to empathise and get more men to join.
This website is mainly targeted to men than women. Whereas the trailer (Battle LA) is also targeted to women, I think this because not only men like to see action movies but mainly targeted to men. The website can be used worldwide; anyone can use it and watch the aggressive movie whereas in the trailer it says PG13 but a thirty year old won't watch it.
The products that they are advertising are for men, such as violent games and military clothing. There are also dating, and loans for men to look at, whereas the trailer it was showing the violence and action. It was an invasion by the aliens. One of the text does have amateur photography while the other has amateur video and it has videos from the CNN which is an American news is told.
The representative of the Battle LA trailer is the military clothing of the character in the movie and the weapons that they use and the military vehicle and the explosions that happen.

2. Explore the views that the entertainment media feeds upon moral panic in the west as a result of terrorism post 9/11?

*The entertainment does feed upon moral panic in the west as a result of terrorism post 9/11. The terrorism of 9/11 was particularly shocking because it was a turning point in U.S. history. It was the first foreign attack on the continental United States territory, including the adjacent territorial waters, located within North America between Canada and Mexico. Also called CONUS. ..... Click the link for more information. since the War of 1812. And it killed so many people using a surprise weapon: hijacked airplanes as suicide bombs. Moral panic in the west influences terrorism because of the successive of destroying the twin tower in America so people think that is easy to do this again.

My Critical Investigation

(MIGHT BE A QUESTION)

An exploration in how and why are teenagers often domineering in Media?

Teenagers have a reputation of being bad or either good. Most teenagers are usually associated as trouble making and get up to nothing. The portrayal of teenage boys usually associated as “yobs” in the media. On the other hand other teenagers do their homework and go to bed at 9pm. There is a stereotype of girl which is generally not involved in crime such as the male. They are more often related to helping chores in house and cooking for the family so they are not seen irresponsible and there is other student who goes to school and try to get on to higher education.
The film ‘Kidulthood’ (2006) directed by Menhaj Huda showed a wide range of teenagers which get up to gun crime, sex and violence. The film follows two days in the lives of a group of fifteen year olds teenagers from a rough area of London. Some of the teenagers clothing such as heavy jewellery may suggest that they are in a gang or maybe aggressive, other thing such as hoodies also known as hood rats. Other student will dress appropriately and are generally polite to respect to others.
Some sociologists say that teenagers’ behaviour’s comes from their upbringing. They get influenced by their parent. Many parent like their children to achieve high and get somewhere in life. Some parent might be abusive to other people in the public and therefore children would be influenced and start to imitate there parent inception on the other hand parent teach teenagers how to respect other and will treat everyone equal, and other parents bring their children up right and teach them rules and values.
‘World’s Strictest Parent’ is a television series developed by Twenty Twenty Television, originally broadcasted Britain by the BBC. This show was first shown in 2008 on BBC three, the narrative of the show is that the parents could not cope which their disobedient teenager and they send then off to a different country where they will live there for 2 weeks. There is a hidden curriculum that children will learn hidden education and will learn certain rules and the values of some of their possession that they take for granted. The key issues will be taught to respect other without the foul attitudes and manners. One of the main causes that may have triggered the relationship between their family member and there behavioural problem may be the separation of their parents. This is a psychological issue, it’s not something those teenagers get over, and these become far too much for them to take. They start to blame their parent and go against them. Another possible ways of teenager’s bad behaviour may be in the influence of their friend, family or even there celebrity fan. They start to imitate and copy what they do trying to impress there mates by doing so; dress, act and buy. E.g. Lindsey Lohan was sent to jail for drinking. They may have been peer-pressure or bully, for them to start drinking or smoking, some teenagers think that they don’t fit in so they like to copy people that are popular to get friend and to be seen as someone. By the end of this entire process teenager feel better about themselves and have leant new things. Teenagers feel that they can have a better relationship between their parents which they never had before. Other teenager has a friend like relationship with help them to open up what they do.
Teenagers have to be in full time education within the ages of 4 – 16. ‘Telegraph’ in July 2009, ‘young kids in many cities are running riot. There’s been a rise in gang culture and in drug culture. We have 30,000 children every year leaving school with no education qualification’ the social issues of teenagers in todays society and a shocking historical change from the behaviours of youth 50-60 year ago. Society expectations nowadays are you can’t get a decent job without having any qualification. A numerous number of teenagers are wanting to go to university and getting a degree.
‘Let Me In’ directed by Matt Reeves released in 2010 was a success remake of the movies ‘Let the Right One In’ by Tomas Alfredson released in 2008. The genre of the movies was a horror/thriller. The particular scene I focused on, was the young boy’s mother who fell asleep on the couch leaving the television to run of its own, didn’t realise that her son Owen 10 had left the house to meet his new friend which was known to be a vampire. On the television it said ‘where are your children at 10pm. This shows that a lot of young children like to leave there home and party elsewhere where there parent are not there some teenager say it something we call freedom. When teenage girls go out for a night they do not dress suitable e.g. the BBC three show ‘Snog Marry Avoid’ shows us a range of Great Britain public how much slap they have on them with; fake tan, false eye lashes and cake full of makeup. This also contrasts with the female prospective 50 year ago when women were oppressed and wasn’t allowed to go out. Nowadays everyone has a say in everything.
Young people as 10 carry around knife. They think it is self defence in the areas that they live ‘Kidulthood’. Statistics say that knife used in four out of ten youth crime in UK. It has also been said by the guardian that UK rate 0.23% death per 100,000. The ‘Guardian’ online website had a tragic story, 20 young, intelligent awaiting for his A-level result stabbed his mother repeated before calling 999 and informing them that they need ambulance, you probably thinking he was a cruel and vicious and out of his hand. Why would you kill your own mother? The responder asked “why did you do this”? He answered back by saying “quick before I go mad” whilst this was all happening his father and sister was sleeping. Teenagers have been vastly changed since in 1900s. Young adult were not seen doing not as much crime as the time. Teenagers weren’t seen as murderous or revengeful. Young as 10 said they are carrying knife around because it is for protection and for their own safety. Wilfred Owen once said in his poem ‘Anthem for doomed youth about manslaughter being a compared to slaughtering animals.
Facebook is one of the biggest social networking sites used by million people worldwide. ‘It has been blamed for facilitating a rise in cyber bullying by girls’ by the guardian. A young girl found admitting causing bodily harm to the young 20 years old girl who helped her track down via Facebook. This shows that not only male do the violence also women do to.
’16 and pregnant’, a show watched by, millions of viewer, this show is about 16 year olds have a baby at the age of 16. This is reality TV show where young teenage get themselves into being a young parent being able to cope with high school and looking after the baby and their relationship. They having trouble juggling everything such as bills, baby and so on. One example could be ‘Precious’, 2009 where Claireece “Precious” Jones, an abuses teen mother who is dark-skinned, over-weight and illiterate. There is a stereotype that black children get abused by their parent and are uneducated. It has been said that African-Caribbean children have not got any qualification (need to get the sources name). The gripping tale that the young woman’s struggle to overcome her past which shows that in this movies. Being over-weight is an issue raised because one in five 13 to 16 year old is over-weight. Obesity seems to be growing problem in today’s society, with the main causes considered to be a poor diet, eating too many fatty, sugary and calorie added food and lack of exercise. What more? It can affect teens psychologically too and may bring with a range of problem, such low esteem, bullying, negative self-image, loneliness, a lack of self-confidence and depression. Other teenagers go to after school clubs with makes them active and socialise with other students. Some of them do sport, making them fit and healthy knowing that there are consequence in having bad diet.
Society has been a huge impact on young teenagers. The biggest change in the media is the impact on social networking has had on our daily live. Majority of the student have Facebook and it is used globally. On the other hand teenagers are on Facebook to socialise with other and get to know people. It’s a way of being friendly.
I guess that a lot of student wants to go to university and go so far in life and achieve thing that their parent never got to do, if they parent were brought up from a different country. Children that have a strong religious background tend to do better than students who were born in the UK. This is because if their country state or wealth. They have a well-built upbringing making them have a better job and life. There are many student achieving the highest they possibly can up to 9A*. There parent are obviously proud of them and feel that they have brought their child up appropriately.
Teenagers nowadays are overly confident and ignorant and therefore see themselves as the dominant minority. The programme skins which is distributed by E4 at 9pm which is after watershed because it reflect their stereotypical lifestyle.
Marxist was a 19th century philosopher, socialist and economist who ideas have a huge impact on ‘cultural theory’. He believed that that man made this environment, when then changed the nature of man. Human changed society and society expectation.

Niche audience is when it is targeted to a small selected minority audience. MOBO award appeal to niche audiences because it is BBC3 who are airing it. It has been promoted to bbc3 for many reasons such as it’s a terrestrial channel so it is free and everyone can watch it. The channel’s target audience include those in the 16-34 year old age group; the purpose is to provide “innovative” to younger audience, focusing on new talent. The channel is on-air from 19:00 to around 04:-- each night that the time that the age categories will watch telly. Bbc3

3. What are the advantages and disadvantages for performers of using the internet as marketing tool? You should also refer to other media products to support you answer. (12 marks)
There are many advantages and disadvantages for performer of using the internet as marketing tools. As an advantage the internet as a marketing tool, will help the audience to be an active role, it can also be easy to use, and you know what you want so it will be easy to search, it also being able to use it whenever they want. Disadvantage will be that everyone can go on it, even being young children and an internet issues can be an issue for them. The young vulnerable children which don’t exactly know what is wrong and right can get up to things they should be doing, e.g looking at video of lady gaga even though she is a well known singer and a big fashion icon, there are so many artist like that. Another disadvantage are that they could be bring virus and so on, but on the other hand is that they can promote product which you might like.

The representation of disabled people in the media often resort to stereotypes. Explore how disability is represented and how new media.

Though disability issues are higher on the agenda than they have ever been, and the social model of disability is becoming widely accepted, disabled people are still affected by social barriers. There are stereotypes of disabled representation which is generalised, prejudicial label that a stigma is attached to a group or individual and often based on superstition and myth. Stereotyping negates a person’s individuality and humanity. Disabled people are looked upon with a diverse range of stereotypes such as; tragic, lazy, sinister or evil, pitiful and pathetic, laughable, as atmosphere, burden on society, object to violence, usually an outcast, stupid, funny, worthless being unable to do daily thing. They’re usually nonsexual; we often have a chip on our shoulder. Obviously these stereotypes bear little resemblance to the reality of disability. The film ‘My Left Foot’ set in 1980s and based on a true story of Christie Brown. Christy who has Cerebral Palsy fit many stereotypes as above. They use verbal, non-verbal, visual or oral this creates atmosphere and tension. We also sympathise with the disabled person and feel like helping. The Mise en scene in the first scene is a left foot and a keyboard you see the foot goes closer and grips the music record and plays the music and you see a man in a wheelchair you instantly feel wow he can do thing without help and the audience feels like helping and showing that is intelligent this is showing a visual appearance. When Christie gave a valentine card to the girl he like she returns it back. He feels he is rejected and not worth anything- Supper cripple. Another film ‘Avatar’ released in 2009. Jake the main character is recruited to travel to a fantasy world called Pandora in order to save Earth’s energy crisis. But he has to do this by becoming an “avatar”, a computer-generated blue species that can walk, run, jump, swim, climb; all things Jake can’t otherwise do. He has to save the world; in order to do this he simply cannot be disabled. This film show a guy who was disabled to see the world of having what he doesn’t have in reality, showing him a different prospective of life.

Avatar Trailer

Avatar, a film that has been 12 years in the making since director James Cameron’s last opus, Titanic, stars Hollywood heart-throb Sam Worthington as Jake Sully, a paraplegic former Marine. Jake is recruited to travel to a fantasy world called Pandora in order to save Earth’s energy crisis. But he has to do this by becoming an “avatar”, a computer-generated blue species that can walk, run, jump, swim, climb; all things Jake can’t otherwise do. He has to save the world, in order to do this he simply cannot be disabled.

the number of film starring character with a disability has shown that Hollywood is ready to tackle the issues but the roles still being wrongly cast and stereotyped. Disability in some movies are suppose to be sympathetic and other are to show or explain what might have caused this, e.g slumdog millionaire where they show a blind man, the condition might have caused and they show what is like to be that person, who is shown begging sensitive g in an underpass. the short scene is to explain a cultural practice in certain parts of India and is done in a respectful, way so no one will get hurt.
