Essay Plan for Critical Perpectives in Media- Representation in relation to my AS Trailer.

-Trailer is a representation of dominant youth in society. who a presented in a short cut stereo-typical way through their clothing. hoodies, trainers (mise-en-scene) which hides their identity and imprints ideologies of youth being dangerous

-main protagonist is a youth who is troubled living in a deprieved urban society- this is represented through our location in south london and low key lighting to suggest a inescapeable, dark and cruel surrouning. Simular to Kidulthood, Shank and Fishtank which are set on  a urban estate

-The genre of music within our trailer is grime and rap which conforms to young male youths who are urbanised.

-Negative representation of youth being dominant and heartless when protagonist is stabbed- a reflection of current affairs- hightening gun and knife crime in youth.

-Conforms to Gaye Tuchman's theory as males were dominant and women were inferior (standing behind male charcters during the confrontation)
