Representation of Age in the media
Age in media is presented is man different ways. In this short trailer we see examples of ways that young people are presented in media. They are presented as young gang members who's desires in life are to be thugs. This gives a negative image on young people as audiences and viewers viewing this will give the portrayal that young adults are like this creating what is known as a stereotype over all types of young people.
This trailer is the complete opposite to how children/young people are portrayed in the media. After watching this video or film audiences will get the under standing that young people are dedicated to working hard and committing their life to something positive. This then creates and massive contrast between ways young people are portrayed and represented in the media.
Hayden please be careful when using key media terms do not mistake presentation for Representation. Good choice of trailers however your summary could be stronger. Going forward think about the source of the representations, What do they stand to gain from negative representation? Who is the target audience? and how do they receive these texts?
