The  image  I  have  chosen,  is  from  a  film  called  anuvahood.  I  have  chosen  this  picture,  because  I  think  it  is  a  good  example  of  stereotypical  teenagers.  The  film  is  a  realis=c  and  reflects  well  on  the  youth  of  today.  The  actors  are  all  friends,  living  on  a  council  estate,  they  all  have  very  different  cultures  and  personali=es.  Some  of  them  are  shown  wearing  hoodies/tracksuits,  while  others  wear  T-­‐shirts  and  jeans.  This  is  a  realis=c  example  of  youth  appearance.  I  think  that  youth  have  been  represented  in  the  media  quite  nega=vely.  Youth  are  now  viewed  by  the  public  very  unfairly.  Although  this  film  is  ac=ng,  in  my  opinion  it  shows  the  life  of  youths  on  a  council  estate  vary  realis=cally.    And  most  youths  are  not  out  in  gangs  causing  chaos.  They  are  out  with  friends  and  having  fun.

This  image  from  the  movie  aJack  the  block  shows  teenagers  as  wearing  hoodies  over    Their  heads,  also  their  posture  is  shown  as  being  lazy  and  slouched  to  emphasis  the    Teenager  stereotype.  Facial  expressions  are  also  shown  as  being  moody.  In  this  picture    The  teenagers  are  therefore  represented  as  stereotypical  lazy,  moody  teens  who  also  Seem  unkind  due  to  there  hoods  seeing  as  the  media  usually  show  teenagers  who  Commit  crime  as  wearing  hoodies  to  conceal  their  iden=ty.  Also  the  way  each  one    Is  concealing  their  iden=ty  makes  them  seem  like  they  are  trying  to  be  unno=ced    Possibly  because  they've  commiJed  a  crime.  The  seOng  of  this  image  is  dark  and    Sinister  this  also  adds  on  to  the  on  going  thought  that  teenagers  hang  out  aPer  dark  To  commit  Thelon’s  however  people  could  possibly  think  this  because  the  media  has    Shown  night  =me  as  being  dangerous  and  the  usual  =me  when  crimes  are  commiJed.  Overall  this  is  shown  as  a  nega=ve  representa=on  of  youth,  the  image  shows  teens  as    Being  moody,  secre=ve  and  have  bad  posture.  The  teens  in  this  image  are  shown  in  a  group  Possibly  proposing  that  they  are  in  gang,  the  media  show  gangs  as  being  dangerous  and    Full  of  criminals  giving  these  teens  a  nega=ve  image.  However  seeing  as  the  movie  aJack  the

This image is clearly acceptable for the public; this image can be seen as a range of bright minded students. We can back this up as the students are all standing tall; We also know this because all the students are smiling; the back row of students show a row of adults who seem to be laughing and smiling

The students clearly have very good posture; standing tall with their arms behind their backs; they’re all wearing blazers with neck ties. Due to the students smiling it can be seen that the students seem very proud of themselves as they’re done this great deed.

There seems to be some kind of image blur which makes it look like the sun is reflecting on a few of the students; this could be seen as it was done on purpose as it looks like light is shining on the students; this can be seen as light from god in a Christian view making the children seem so precious

I believe this image is targeted at the adults that live around Camden; some adults don’t like the Youth due to occasions; this can show adults that they can clearly be proud about what they have. We also know this as this news report is based on charity; often only adults read about charity. Adults often want to know what’s significance of youth around their street corner; This image is a Realistic image.

is image shows 3 gang members in the daily mail, one of the gang members are holding a gun so it is suggesting that youth are dangerous and is not showing any other people like grown ups when most of the time the commit more criminal offences than teenagers, all three teens have there hoddies up and is very authentic.

e image shows that it is more authentic than fantastic, It is just nearer to realistic than it is surreal because sometimes you might see teens using guns, having fights but not all the time, for teens it is more embarrassing than embarrassing but it is very offensive and not acceptable.

Xhemi Peci

is image is targeted to older people and is trying to say don’t go near teens because they are dangerous so this is very stereotypical because they start telling lots of people and then they wont like going near teens.

Youth  Stereotypes  In  Films  

The  male  is  holding  a  bat  towards  the  other  males  face,  this  is    a  sign  on  violence  and  matches  the  stereotypes  of  youth.  

The  male  is  holding  a  gun  towards  the  other  male,  again  this  is  a  sign  of  violence  and  matches  the  stereotypes  of  youth.  

A  stereotype  is  when  you  judge  a  group  of  people  for  what  they  are  known  for.  An  example  of  this  is  teenagers.  Many  people  believe  that  teenagers  are  in  gangs,  selling  drugs,  and  using  violence.  In  the  image  above  they  match  the  stereotypes  as  both  males  are  hold  a  weapon  towards  each  other.  This  is  a  movie  that  is  in  the  middle  of  surreal  and  realis=c.  Realis=c  because  things  like  this  happen  every  day.  Surreal  because  it  is  a  film  so  things  may  be  exaggerated  for  beJer  viewing.  This  is  is  aimed  at  teenagers  because  other  age  groups  may  not  understand  the  words  that  they  say  or  the  things  that  they  do.  If  someone  sees  this  film  they  may  be  mo=vated  to  do  the  things  that  they  do  for  example  killing.

We  cannot  see  this  teenager’s  face,  and  he  is  like  looking  downwards,  which  looks  like  a  bit  dark.  

He  is  wearing  all  black,  black  coat  which  looks  dark.    Secre=ve.      

He  has  got  a  gun  in  his  hand,    It  seems  like  that  he  is  trying  to  shoot  the  people  who  is  looking  at  him.    (It  looks  a  bit  scary,  isn’t  it?  

He  is  looking  very  serious  and  also  angry,      Staring  at  me.                

There  is  another  person  at  the  back  wearing  black  hat  as  well.

Negus  McClean  was  the  son  of  a  primary  school  secretary  and  a  talented  rap  musician,  He  was  hoping  to  gain  5  A  star  GCSE’s.  The  source  is  from  the  daily  male  Their  headline  was  SHANK  CITY  For  this  talented  young  boy  who  has  been  stabbed.  SHANK  CITY  is  an  unfair  representa=on  on  youth,  right  away  it  has  a  direct  effect  on  the  reader  and  it’s  a  wonder  if  the  millions  of  people  who  Daily  Mail  would  feel  any  sympathy.  

The  Boy  hear  is  displayed  in  an  unkind  way.  It  has  an  effect  of  people  that  people  who  dress  like  this,  are  the  villainous  rather  than  the  heroic.  

The  boy  is  trying  to  display  everything  he's  got  which  makes  him  looks  immature.  It  connotes  that  young  people  are  like  this  today  (show  offs)  

The  daily  mail  have  decided  to  use  a  self  centered  image,  he's  coat  is  black,  which  adds  more  to  the  danger.  

This  picture  has  definitely  not  been  displayed  fairly,  the  young  boy  was  the  vic=m  who  was  trying  to  help  he's  younger  brother  but  the  na=onal  press  has  displayed  a  happy  looking  picture  as  if  he's  already  involved  in  a  gang.  It  sends  a  message  to  

teenage  girls,  that  people  who  look  like  him  a  involved  in  Gangs  and  are  likely  to  be  stabbed.  So  it  has  an  unfair  effect  to  people  Like  Negus,  as  young  girls  would  stay  away  from  them.  

Its  realis=c,  but  also  offensive  to  black  people,  Publishers  are  going  for  a  stereotypical  view  of  black  people.  

He's  use  of  facial  expression  is  arrogant  saying  this  is  what  I  have  got.

Jake   Posi=ve:  Local  Press  

in  this  photo  from  the  new  journal  there  is  a  group  of  three  youths  holding  awards  for  some  kind  of  social  kindness  .i  think  the  picture  shows  in  authen=c  ,  realis=c  and  acceptable  manner  .  

The  students  nom-­‐verbal  communica=on  is  posi=ve  in  that  the  youths  look  confident  .  The  youths  are  smiling  and  this  brings  out  a  posi=ve  and  considerate  image  of  youths  as  well  as  there  interac=on  with  adult  shows  there  posi=ve  social  rela=onship  with  society  .  

Youths  showing  pride  in  their  work  and  the  effort  they  put  into  gaining  it  .  This  releases  a  posi=ve  image  by  going  against  the  stereotypical  image  that  youths  are  lazy  and  and  self  involved  

Although  the  youths  in  this  image  are  wherein  youth  related  clothes  and  using  youth  related  props  their  body  language  brings  out  a  more  proper  tone.  

Posi=ve  local  press    

The  cap=on  says  “never  trust  a  preJy  girl  with  an  ugly  secret.”  So  this  is  telling  us  that  all  preJy  girls  have  a  dark  secret  and  shouldn’t  be  trusted  however,  these  girls  are  all  hardworking  but  they  have  secrets  so  they  are  thought  to  be  people  that  don’t  work  hard  in  school  and  get  into  trouble.      

They  are  siOng  up  straight  and  bold  and  this  suggests  that  they  are  confident  and  by  the  sly  smile  on  their  faces  it  makes  them  look  as  if  they  have  something  to  hide  and  are  proud  of  it.    

The  fact  that  they  are  all  covered  in  mud  and  in  a  place  that  looks  slightly  deserted  and  the  girl  in  the  middle  is  puOng  a  finger  over  her  lips  it  shows  that  they  are  trouble  makers  and  have  done  something  wrong  that  they  don’t  want  anyone  to  know  about.    

The  representa=on  of  youth  is  more  Authen=c  than  fantas=c  and  it  is  in  between  realis=c  and  surreal  because  it’s  not  always  true  that  teenagers  that  have  secrets  can  not  be  trusted  and  this  proves  that  by  showing  us  that  the  girls  do  hard  work  in  school  and  achieve  things.  It  is  also  more  entertaining  than  embarrassing  and    it  is  quite  acceptable.

In this image there are youths, they are going to perform at the White Rock theatre. They are in the cast of Peter Pan.

They look proud and happy

This Is representing youth in a positive way

Youth is represented now days, by wearing hoodies, guns, crime and stupid

They are wearing colorful clothes and there are a mixture of people. However there are no other races besides white.

This image’s target audience is probably directed towards younger children who like Peter Pan, and maybe elderly/ parents who like pantomimes and have children.

This image is acceptable, but could be offensive to some as there are only white people in this image, and it may give an affect on the other races as they might feel white people are only in pantomimes, or something like that.
