1.1 Representation




long form TV-Stranger Things
Gender:In stranger things, the three main characters at the beginning of the series  don't treat 11 well but later on in the series she becomes more and more of a main character.In the whole of the series she becomes a stronger and stronger character this shows that stranger things
does this to show the power of the female characters.
Age:In Stranger Things the main characters are all teenagers they do this because they are supposed to be nerds and unpopular children.The main characters that are older are the more sensible ones but they don't see that the children are right and they aren't crazy.
Class:In stranger things will is a lot lower class then the other main characters they do this to show the different class of the three boys.

Sitcom-Brooklyn 99
Gender:In Brooklyn 99 there are only 3 female main characters out of 9 this could be due to less females being cops in real life so they try to betray this in the series.There are less female characters but they are strong characters.
Age:In Brooklyn 99 all the main characters different ages they do this so they can have a young view point and an older view point.They make it so the older the person is the wiser but they can be wrong.
This stereotype makes a good comparison in a series.
Class:There are many classes in Brooklyn 99.The upper class people in this series are showed just the same as the lower class people.

Film-Avengers end game
Gender:In avengers end game there are predominately more male characters then female characters.They have added more and more female characters in the series in recent years.
Age:In Avengers end game all the characters are around the same age.This is justified by them having to be strong and powerful so they couldn't have a child or an old man.
Class.There are very mixed class in the avengers but they are not discriminated about.



SEMIOTICS

Oscars

In the 2016 oscars there was a lot of controversy in the media about the ethnicity of all the nominees mainly that there were only white nominees this caused major backlash from alot of celebrities and
the media.This caused some celebrities to refuse to go because of the lack of diversity.

I think that this could have a lot of backlash towards the oscars and could be considered racist.This could stop people of many ethnicities from stop watching the oscars this could affect the reputation of the oscars.

In my opinion they should judge the quality of acting and the importance of the role and not focus on the race or gender of the actor/actress.


The Apartment

In the film the apartment it is very misogynistic.In the film all the woman are in very low reputation jobs such as a secretary or  a elevator operator.This suggests that they are very low skilled.Whereas the men in the scene are in well payed and skilled jobs with offices and desks.This makes the woman in the film seem very unimportant.

At the time the apartment was made this was a very normal thought about woman.So this film wouldn't have been questioned in the same way that it would be questioned now.

If the Apartment came out now it would be a massive problem and would be strongly criticized by many people in the film industry.
