Age: Representations of Age

"Representation" describes how people and things are shown in film (images that are literally re-presented or reflected or re-produced) back to the audience. it is how these images are broken down analysed that allow us to see what they can mean and discuss how people and places are portrayed.

Old people - How are they shown? Are they shown as weak and doddering pensioners? How are they dressed and how do they speak?

Teenagers - How are they dressed and how do they speak? Are they rebellious? Do they shout? What music do they listen to?
