Wednesday 20th- Tuesday 26th January

During this week we mainly focused on youth culture and how they are stereotyped/ portrayed through programmes and films.
We looked at clips of 'Kevin and Perry' and 'Catherine Tate' and found out that the stereotype of teenagers are comedy, exagerated and are portrayed to be rude, untidy, chav-like and have disrespect for authoritive people such as teachers. This makes it funny when exageratted because it feels that we have all seen or been this previously when we was a teenager. For example going round a friends house and them arguing with their parents for not being able to go out (disrespect).

We also looked at film trailers for youth culture type films, such as, 'Kidulthood', 'Reafer Madness', Quadrophenia' and 'Bullet boy'. These are films set in different times and about youth, from 1930's until the present day. As they are different times they show how the youth culture has changed and shown through the media. All of these film trailers have violence, sex, drugs and underage drinking in which are all parts of the truth of youths but exageratted in a way to make it more entertaining.
