Representation
• Representation refers to the construction in any medium of aspects of ‘reality’ such as people, places, objects, events, cultural identities and other abstract concepts. Such representations may be in speech or writing as well as still or moving pictures.
• A key aspect in the study of representation concern is with the way in which representations are made to seem ‘natural’.
Stereotypes
• The easiest way for the audience to relate to a character or characters is to use Stereotypes
• Stereotypes are when a character is created using a common set of ideas about a group of people. These ideas can be both positive and negative and can influence the way we view groups of people

target audience?• How does this change the characters representation?
