On and Off Screen Representation

On and Off screen representation on my critical investigation..

On and off screen representation is something will affect the audience in how they percieve the text and the opinion they get. I will need to consider this during my critical investigation and linked production. When doing my critical investigation I will notice that the representation on teenagers will be affected because off screen their are many moral panics occuring because of knife crime, gangs and the violent culture so during my linked production i will need to analyse this and on screen i will go against the streotype in the ways not all teenagers are gang related but are still young and whill hang around in groups. For example, black and asian teenagers are representated negatively and dangerous. These are both ethnic minoroties as well which shows that it is usually looked at from a white perspective so because of this the public will view teenagers like this, so i will go against that view and represent in a more positive aspect. For my critical investigation, i will be discussing the issues in newspaper articles and how they create moral panics over teenagers. I will be looking closely at the institution and whether it is a white person perspective and will be analysing why they see ethnic minorities as being violent, involved in gangs and crime, i will be going against the streotype but still looking at reasons for why they could be looked at in this way. On and off screen represention of young teenagers are negative as the opinion given is usually by an older white male that gives the public the image of all teenagers to be like this and makes all teenagers not allowed to hang around together of be in a larger group than three, the teenargers represented are all of aethnic minority (black and asian) and this suggests that the public will see teenagers like that.
