Opening Paragraphs - Representation and audience questions
Representation:
Opening paragraph relevant to the representation of gender
The media is the most persuasive and most powerful influence that changed how we perceive men and women. Both Men and Women are represented differently throughout a range of media texts, whether it's a magazine or a video all forms of media communicate images of both gender's in an unrealistic way. I will talk about three different ways that gender is represented or how its represented. Firstly the media is constructed to institute messages into our minds by encoding their own beliefs into the media texts. Secondly the media sets high expectations for both men and women so causes both the struggle with body image and lastly women are often under-represented which falsely implies that men are more powerful which may be partly down to the dominant ideology.
Audience:
Opening paragraph relevant to a question about audience.
Explore, with examples, how audiences may respond differently to the same media text?
The aim of all media texts is to target a specific audience, however audiences don't all act the same way, audiences are made up of individuals who respond differently to the same media texts due to a range of factors. Some factors are Gender, age, ethnicity, culture and experiences. It can also be dependent on their upbringing. However audiences may also react differently due to their uses and gratifications. Audiences may be attracted to media texts due to the attempt to find their own personal identity, to find out information, or for entertainment.

Representation of Age in the Media
Some Stereotypical characteristics of teenagers are that
they are immature, lazy, careless and self-entitled. They also tend to be
linked to gang culture, drugs and drink.
Whereas some stereotypical characteristics of elderly people
are grumpy, slow. Weak and hard-of-hearing.
During May 2006 a content analysis of 2130 news items across
the main television channels was conducted.
They found that young people were mainly represented as a violent threat
to society. It seemed that the media only delivers a one dimensional picture of
youth, one that encourages fear rather than understanding. For example the Croydon riots fuelled the teenage gang stereotype as it is said most people involved in the riots were teenagers
Middle aged people are usually seen
as quite uptight and stressed, and revolved around work.
Upper Class and Middle class elderly people are often
portrayed in television and film as occupying high status roles such as world
leaders, business executives and judges.
Age is represented in Mrs Brown Boys through different
characters. Grandad brown is shown to be weak and constantly complaining, he is usually pictured to be lying down on chair sleeping as if he has no energy, where
as young Buster Brady is represented as stupid and as if he’s never going to
achieve anything.
