How are representations constructed across the 3 platforms? - Forth Slide

How are characters/stars in the film represented in:

• Print media?

• Broadcast media (TV/Radio/DVD)?
• E-Media?
• Select some examples from each platform and perform some textual analysis (trailers, magazine articles, adverts, tweets, radio interviews etc)

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.

Now think of how the film communicates with audiences across the 3 platforms:

• Are there any 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)
