​My group: Jason Centeno, Romans Felix, Reynold Machado, Jeremiah Chery

​

In this presentation we answered the following questions:

​

• What representations and stereotypes have been constructed?

• What technical decisions have producers made to construct the above representations/stereotypes (think about what you learned about how a movie is made... zoom, pan, camera angles, etc.,)

• Have any counter stereotypes been used?

• What viewpoints have been reinforced or challenged?

• How has the audience been positioned to interpret the movie/TV show? 

• What is the preferred or dominant reading the producer wants the audience to make (the way media producers want the audience to interpret the movie/tv show. This type of reading is culturally dependent)?

• Who produced, created the movie/TV show?

• What judgements and conclusions can you make about the construction of representations in the media?

• Why have producers made an active decision to construct these representations? (Is it to sway your opinion? Is it to make people aware? ....)
