Prezi Presentations.

Age

• Baby - can be annoying because all it does is cry or either look cute and cuddly (stereotypical views).
• Old man - spend their time just sitting about, can be portrayed of not being quite all there, or else be someone of wisdom (stereotypical views).
• Both people need to be looked after as they both can be seen as helpless.
• However old people can look after themselves, and don't always need help or care.
• Stereotypical teenagers - steal, act cheeky to their elders, are arrogant (shown in Little Britain, which focuses on the over exaggeration of stereotypes), usually depressed, under aged drinking, and always moaning.
• Middle aged people spend most of their time arguing.

Regional Identity

• North - friendly people but reject 'outsiders', don't pronounce 'the' when speaking, more innocent, less intelligent, more miserable, enjoy moaning about their lives (stereotypical idea).
• South - less rural, monochrome looking, mainly made up of cities, money based society, more straightforward about subjects, fast paced lifestyle (stereotypical idea).
• Countryside - wear more casual clothes, more relaxed lifestyle, considered a working class.

Ethnicity

• Hoodies and dark clothing make people look unapproachable, considered to be the sort of clothes black men would wear, this is not true though because black men can wear whatever sort of clothes they like, they all don't wear just one style.
• Indian wedding, have to wear traditional Indian dress, seem heavily religious and are subjected to arranged marriages, can't be gay (stereotypical view)
• TV programmes mainly made up of white actors/actresses.
• 'This is England' uses camera shots from down below, showing that the characters are more lower class and quite intimidating.
• Lower class - run down, intimidating because they're supposedly violent, people are afraid of them, live in council houses (stereotype)
• Black male - lazy, doesn't want to work or help the community, however this stereotype is challenged in 'Hollyoaks' where the character of Calvin, a young black male, is a police officer and tries to help out his community as much as he can.

Here is mine and Josh's prezi presentation on sexuality and how it is portrayed in the media.

Sexuality on Prezi

Sexuality

• Tight fitting clothes, prep look (stereotypical gay men)
• Cannot brand people's sexuality on what they wear
• Spend their time in gay clubs or gay parades (media coverage/stereotype)
• Use the same type of camera angles, except for when filming scenes involving the characters sexuality
• Make gay male characters 'glow' to make them more feminine and less intimidating
• Well spoken, gesturing when talking, high pitched voice, not interested in sports, care in their appearance, over acting, 'drama queen' (stereotypical views on gay men)
• Billy Elliot - dad is angry about Billy taking dance lessons, boys dancing can be seen as gay
• Lesbians - enjoy sports, act manly, deep voices, short hair, 'butch' (stereotypical view)
• Plots involve the character finding out they're gay, how they cope with it, and possibly what abuse they suffer.
