Representation of Age - Newspaper Article

http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Bristol-s-Claudia-wins-fourth-gold-Commonwealth/story-22051637-detail/story.html

The Newspaper article is about 16 year old Claudia Fragapane who won her 4th gold medal at the common wealth games.Her 4th gold medal means that she is the first English woman to win four common wealth golds in a single game for 84 years.

This creates a positive representation of teenagers because it shows how much she has accomplished at a young age and which not many people in the world can achieve. This is a contrast to the stereo typical representation of teenagers because it shows that she is determined and dedicated as she has achieved winning 4 gold medals.

Representation of Age - Film - Bad neighbors

Film
Bad Neighbors

This film shows the contrast in age with 2 parents and a fraternity.

The young neighbours are represented as only wanting to party and wanting to be superior
e.g. long shots of the house showing the young people partying,
close ups of alcohol showing the stereotype that young people get drunk all the time.

The parents are represented as wanting to fit in with the young people but also are most mature and do not like the neighbors
e.g. mid shot shows them wearing young clothes such as caps and sunglasses,

There is also a scene where the parents talk about not going out

Contrast between the ages
2 mis-shots show the older man loking unhealthy with his shirt off whereas the younger neighbor is shown with a six-pack and well looked after body.
-Shows the stereotype that  younger people want to look good and take pride in their appearance.

Representation of Age - TV show - Sun, Sex and Suspicious parents

Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents
Series 3 Episode 4
Kos


This episode of sun sex and suspicious parents was filmed on the 8th January 2013 in Magaluf.

The representation of the teenagers filmed in this episode has been created by filming them whilst on their first holiday without their parents.

The program has been mediated by teenagers join on their holiday not knowing  there parents or 2 family members are also there watching them each day.
Selection has been used to show the most extravagant parts of their holiday to make the viewing more entertaining and to get more people to watch it as in this particular episode there was 965,000 viewers. They also need to select the best parts of the parents commentary to go with the teenagers night out.

Lighting 
When the program starts the lighting is bright. This is when they are filming with the parents because hey are unknown to what their children are actually doing on night out.

When the teen agers get on their holiday on nigh out and when their parents are reviewing the filming of them the lighting changes to low key lighting because its filmed at night time and because it is shocking for the parents to be watching.

Negative representation
It crates a negative image of teenagers and specifically teenagers abroad because it shows them getting excessively drunk every nigh and going against what their parents have told them not to do. Its a stereo typical representation of teenagers on their first holiday and what people would expect to happen.
It also shows teenagers being reliant on their parents as in this episode charli was brought food by her mum and her mum saying that she does most ting for her daughter she cant do anything on her own. it also shows her mum making her bed, helping her pack bring her tea and fussing about her daughter.

Look magazine-double page spread analysis

Look magazine-double page spread analysis




Double page spreads in LOOK magazines are similar as they have the person on the front cover on their double age spread. Half of the page is taken up by a large image which shows who the article is about. They use a large font size to show the celebrities name then a smaller one for the sub heading to tell the reader what the article is based around. The first letter of the article is larger than the rest of the text. There are two equal columns that the text is displayed in.
