- hypodermic model
- cultivation theory
- copy cat theory
- moral panic
if we see youth violence on popular tv channels we are more likely to believe this is also reality
people supposedly copy scenes in films, influenced by music to be violent
the more films, tv programs that represent youths as being violent the more panic which is created by society
Contemporary British Social Realism
- social realist films attempt to portray issues facing ordinary people in their social situations
- social realist films try to show society and the capitalist system leads to the exploitation of the poor or dispossessed
- these groups are shown as victims of the system rather than being totally responsible for their own bad behavior
Analysing representation of collective identity
- who is being represented?
- who is representing them?
- how are they represented?
- what seems to be the intentions of the representations?
- what is the dominant discourse? (world view offered by the film)
- what range of readings are there?
