Representation Of Teens In Elephant [Opening Sequence] 18th June 2010

  1. www well done for beginning this process and identifying some denotation and speculating on the possible connotations

    ebi be wary of jumping to conclusions which are not fully supported by the text and letting stereotypical representations overwhelm what is presented. Think about how the teen with the yellow t-shirt behaves with his father and why. Does this behaviour reveal a different representation of teenage boys from the stereotype? Explore SHEP in greater depth in your analysis.

  2. Ways to improve: Look at the context within which the teenagers are acting and check if this changes the representation of teenagers in these situations. For example yellow t-shirt teen; he was taking his dad out of the car as he was drunk, which could give a representation of responsibility over disrespect in this situation.
