This image represents the realistic view of teenagers and there binge drinking ,
they are shoting back alchol and also have beeer bottles in there other hand , also having empty shot galsses infont of them which tells me that the ones in there hands arent ther first glasses.
the image is trying to make the shot glasses and the beer bottles more dominant , the values of this image are basically just saying lets drink till were drunk and not think about the consequences !
You need to present you discussion in a more formal way. The blog is ok to make not informally as you have done but in your final discussion when analysing the represention it needs to be more detailed and structured. I think it might help to find and beer advertisement or any form of alcohol advertisement where it shows drinking as being the hip thing to do. Look at the people used in the advertsement. what age are they? Who is the advertisements target audience? (mostly likely young people) How have the advertisers made this clear? Why have they made the advertisement look more appealing to teenagers of younge people? Who profits from this? What are the wider implications for these types of advertisement (media) for teenagers and society as a whole?
ReplyDeleteThis type of media source will definately add more credibility to your understanding of the representation.
