Representation

In todays lesson, we looked at representation. The way I have chosen to remember representations within a film is by using 'CAGEDS':
C - class
A - age
G - gender
E - ethnicity
D - disability
S - sexuality
Once we had discussed this we then started to analyse the short film 'About a Girl', a drama done in documentary style. Not only did we include representation when we analysed this film, we also included technical language, i.e. camera, lighting etc. I found that the main representations throughout the film were Age, Class and Gender, and in each section I analysed how the technical terms show each of the representations.
