Representation theory

1) Why is representation an important concept in Media Studies? 'The word representation itself holds  a clue to its importance.' Representation is what we associate with a certain  person, place, object or idea being  represented. 2) How does the example of Kate Middleton show the way different meanings can be created in the media? The idea of the person on the photo can be changed and manipulated by many people in media industry to create a scandal so that the audience will be entertained. The person on the picture is actually a different person than what the producers and photographers make of her.  3) Summarise the section 'The how, who and why of media representation' in 50 words.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - blog tasks Create a new blogpost called 'Metroid Prime 2: Echoes case study' and complete the following in-depth tasks.

Narrative in advertising

1) How does the advert use narrative? Apply at least three narrative theories to the text, making specific reference to specific shots or key scenes in the advert. The advert shows the diversity in young London and the way that you really have to give all you've got to actually be someone. And that's what the ad tries to show; that working hard is what makes you a Londoner.  2) Read this  BBC feature on some of the people in the advert . How does the advert use celebrities and less well-known people to create stories in the advert? The ad has a lot of different celebs, but it also include some unknown faces right next to them. Also throughout the whole video we see London in a way that is not usually represented. We're not in central London, admiring the architecture, but in the streets further away, with people talking with their local slang, in their everyday life. It shows the audience that no metter if you're a celebrity or not, you can still make it to the top
