GCSE 10 Homework

Representation -

Find an image of a lifestyle magazine front cover on google. Add the image to your blog and dicuss it in terms of representation of -

Class
Gender
Ethnicity
Age
Sexuality
Religion

Not all of the representations may be evident, so if the representation is obviously not part of your chosen publications audience, do not attempt to cro-bar it in. For example, FHM is unlikely to contain religious representations.

Use evidence in terms of conventions and media language in your discussions. For example the font choice for the cover line on working in the city is in a Serif font, Serif fonts generally connote wealth and class, so the font choice is appropriate to the content of the magazine.

In 300-500 words analyse the following statements. Use a range of examples to back up your analysis. Make sure you include your own opinion.

In many rap videos women have no identity except as sexual playthings and "eye candy"

These images do provide pleasures to some viewers. But the concern is that men may internalise the notion that women are nothing more than sexual objects waiting to be used.

These sorts of images are not unique to hip hop. Objectified female bodies are everywhere. They appear throughout our culture in films, advertisements, television programmes etc. However, within music videos, this is virtually the ONLY vision of women available.
