Representation on the front pages
Begin with the ANARCHY front cover above (also on your email), and then find THREE other front pages with interesting representations of groups of people (think DR CAGES). Remember to put the images on the blog and describe the representation. 1.Who is being represented in this image? 2.Are you being given the stereotypical or countertypical image of the person/group? Describe the representation. 3.HOW is this representation being constructed by the media language? – consider camera angles, choice of images, colours, size, mise en scene, etc. 4.How is the representation being constructed by the text? – consider word choices, size of text, tone, etc. 5.Does this representation fit with the institutional codes and conventions? Explain your answer. – think about institution, audience, tabloid/broadsheet, etc.
