How is the collective identity you have studied represented in contemporary media?
PLAN:
In Fish Tank youth was represented as aggresive and rebellious, this was shown through the main character Mia. For example when she went over to a group of girls, straight away she wanted to start a fight, with them shouting back, Mia ends up head butting one of the girls. There is a scene with Mia's younger sister smoking with a can of alcohol next to her. However she doesn't have a positive roll model, as she is following in the footsteps of Mia. Also the language used within the film gives a stereotypical view of the youth and the changing culture of the current generation. The language used goes hand in hand with both the method of brining up, as well as the home life environment, again showing the stereotypical 'common' interpretation of the youth of today. The impression of the youth seems only to be presented within the busy urban areas, with the tower block, council house perception.
Much like London to Brighton Joanne follows in the footsteps of Kelly. Showing smaller things such as smoking, however problems become bigger as they turn to prostitution. In both of these films they always come to back to family and how they have been brought up.
Hot Fuzz
Kidulthood
Summer of lurvv
'My Summer of Love' is represented through Alienation. It is located in a little valley, where two young woman fall in love. This film is made up of the characters fantasies, they each explore new places and experiment new things. Each character are from a completely different social class, Tamzin being from a very wealthy family and has been suspended from boarding school. .... on the other hand lives above an old pub, 'The Swan' with her brother who has turned to religeon. However both families are not close.
THIS IS TINYS HOMEWORK
