Representation

Today we talked about how people are represented in todays media. Also how some people show that these stereotypes aren't always true and we shouldn't believe everything we see.
Stereotypes
Is a visual shortcut which we make in our head. They are heard and made so much that we now think this is true. They are usually the way people, events and ideas are presented in the media.
Archetypes
This is the ultimate stereotype, for example the brainless blonde bimbo.
Countertype
Something that challenges the stereotypes associated with group, places and people.

Representation in a film opening:


Who/what is being represented?
In this opening scene the main character is being represented as lonely, this is shown by the way he talks to his dog when he is in the car. By doing this it represents he is on his own and is acting as if his dog is a human being he can talk to.
