Your task is to produce a presentation (in any form you wish) on representation in your AS or A2 portfolio. You must address the following questions:
First Section: Your Portfolio
- How is your location/setting represented?
- Have you conformed by producing stereotype/s?
- How have you represented: - age; gender; status/social groups' disability/ability i(f applicable)
Second Section:Theory
Research the following theorists:
Laura Mulvey
Ferdianand de Saussure
Richard Dyer
Jean Baudrillard
Identify one which could be applied to your portfolio - use detailed examples in your presentation explaining how. Remember examples are important!
Third Section: Contemporary Research
Can you locate a more contemporary theory on representation? What are scholars/research saying about representation in the media right now? Remember media is always changing! We live in rapidly changing world! The examiner appreciates it when you can demonstrate up to date theories too!
Lastly: Helping Others...
Could any of the theories you researched be applied perfectly to someone else in the group? Explain how.
You will need to deliver your presentation - ideally with resources/handouts - on Tuesday, 25th March.
Thanks
