Representation: A Simple-ish Explanation

Artificial - This is what most media such as films and soaps are. They arent real life, but they are scripted, staged and, therefore, made to look like real life.

Perceive - Most media of today can appeal to most of the senses, mostly sight and aural. That is how the institutions market their films.

Representation - All types of media, whether it be video games, films or TV dramas, are all representations of a artificial reality

Demographics - This type of data can be used by film companys to determine where and what country they want to market their products in.

Identities - These are shown in many different ways. Stereotypes are one way in which identitys are shown.

Representation 1 - Patched trousers means he may have low income or not much money, so he has to mend his clothes. May not have a job because he is dressed scruffy and isnt making much effort to go to work. Probably homeless because of mix of dress.














Representation 2 - Tweed jacket shows he has a job and job is well paid. From all the paperwork and facial expressions, he has a serious job or is in court. Makes an effort to look good because he has stubble and a stylish hair cut.















Representation 3 - Looks like an upper class woman because of her fur coat and bright dress. She looks like a misunderstood person.
