hi, ill be using the example of radio 1 extra which they label as "black music" but then generally play materialistic, misogynistic, violent and drug induced music. therefore representing black people as this. Also using taken 2, represents Albanians in a very negative light while liam neeson is the classic american hero. finally an i article about child rebel soldiers. a more reflective representation of Nigerians with descriptions of the mercenaries, but also Nigerian charities and missionaries trying to combat them.
hope this helps

Hey, I'm taking this exam too
For ethnicity I would just talk about how people of ethnic minorities can be represented both positively, negatively and stereotypically in certain texts
Try and look at the story lines that revolve around the families in Eastenders or Kayne West on the Rolling Stone, i think it was in 2006-ish but it's an amazing example! -

I know it sounds obvious... but make sure your first point states how your example is being represented. I.E radio 1 extra represents black people as this... Pretty sure that's why I dropped so many marks last time as I rushed into describing my evidence without making a point! this exam is the bain of my life lol

Representation Case Studies
Ethnicity - The Sopranos
Young People - The UK riots
Gender - The music industry (relate to mainstream artists such as beyonce and one direction)
National Identity - The Olympics opening ceremony

Just study the hell out of documentaries and reality tv. -

Think you're being abit harsh with the radio 1 extra case study, in other words you're being a bit of a snob that hasn't revised what music 1extra plays presently.
Hope I didn't offend you buddy -

also could someone please explain stuart halls reception theory to me please
Dominant - Where they agree with the views of the texts and the portrayal given
Negotiated- Where you agree with some parts and disagree with others due to their own experiences
Oppositional- You agree with nothing in this text, you understand what is being said but you disagree.
It's often linked to print media moreso, such as in newspapers and their political leanings and how they link to your own
Hope this helps -

We haven't done anything on national or regional whatsoever, so if it was to come up, how would you answer the question? Would it be how certain regions were represented, i.e. shameless and Manchester?
i talked about:
skyfall the film - how london was represented
Gavin and Stacey - how london and Essex were represented (i can talk for england about Gavin and Stacey. haha.)
the trailer for Made in Chelsea - how Chelsea is represented in the trailer
in the essay i didnt talk about Visitscotland website. but i will most likely add that in if i have time.
for national... im not sure. visitbritain website, the royal wedding, then maybe a film or something. not actually sure. heh. im gonna fail. -

Are we all thinking its National/regional identity?
If so I have no clue what to use?
May use Only fools and Horses as a regional identity?
My teacher encourages me to use sporting teams for national identity. Think of the football world cup/Olympics and how each nation represented itself
.
On a side note, considering its audio/visual, does anyone have any idea of what type of media they will use?Last edited by katyelizabethx; 12-05-2013 at 15:48. -

I wouldn't use Only Fools as it has to be a representation 'in the media today'.
It will be a non-fiction text for Q1... probably -

Can anyone help me with question 2c?
With reference to your own detailed examples, explore the ways in which media texts are
constructed to target audiences.
What would I use and talk about? Would I still talk visual, audio+technical codes and genre/narrative, along with socio-economic scale, Hall's theory, demographics, reception theories?
Good luck to everyone tomorrow! -

This question can be differently worded...It could be something like: 'how texts target different audiences' or 'how audiences respond differently to media texts' or 'how texts are constructed to target audiences differently'.
The essential answer to 2c is 'different texts target different audiences for different reasons'.
Use Hall's reception theory, Laura Mulvey (if using a gender text), Young and Rubicam 4c's model, Uses and Gratifications, Hypodermic Needle - are good theories to use. -

It's all about constructing the British National Identity. E.g the 'creation' of the rings is shown through all different types of British people working together to create the rings. Signifying the ideology that Britain is 'great' and our identity is all about people working together towards one goal. Shows the audience (the world) what we are. -

You are pretty much correct - you need to use 3-4 good rich-text examples of how media texts target audiences.

Gender is the easiest. Mulvey's "Male Gaze" applied to 'Casino Royale' (2006) works well as a reversal of this theory.
Daniel Craig emerges from the ocean (which is an intertextual reference to Halle Berry (in Die Another Day) and Ursula Andress (in Dr. No). Shows a different and changing cultural aspect to James Bond. Usually it was the female's getting gorped at..and also perhaps looking at Daniel Craig's body is not only just for the female audience? Some male audiences might aspire to this scene too.
