MEST1: case study


Now look at what values and ideologies are communicated within these representations: Think about the people/places/ideas that are used/communicated, How and why they are presented to the audience in this way?, How is the audience represented? Do they get a chance to represent themselves? E.g. Twitter.
In the film Ben Drew tries to get a message across toward the audience about young youths and society and how they ignore the ones brought up in less wealthy areas such as council estates, no education bad parenting etc. All the representations above the ideologies are represented throughout the film and interviews by Ben Drew as he explains why he has created this film and purpose for his beliefs. He explains why he has done this project to show a difference in society as he feels young youths are treated and represented unequally. This is Ben Drew's first project which relates to society which suggests the audience that Drew is a successful role model to teenagers as he was brought up in a council estate too, therefore he would understand the victims and try help them get the message across to change society. There are many young youths who live in council estates who are discriminated which lead to negative behaviour  making the audience stereotype them.

Now think of how the film communicates with audiences across the 3 platforms are there differences or similarities in the representations of: The actors/stars (their star persona), People (race, gender, age etc), Places (countries, regions, etc), Values and ideologies (class, politics, religion, lifestyle, beliefs etc).
Ben drew communicates with the audience through the three platforms by the differences in the representation/ideologies in the film and three platforms. He associates the characters of how young youths are represented in real life and communicates with the audience about how they are stereotyped  moreover these characters who are portrayed in the film are from low profile backgrounds, Ben Drew has chosen these characters as he wanted the audience to relate to them as one of the working class audiences not as a famous blockbuster character.
