10:30am to 3pm, 17 November 2023, BFI Southbank
This Study Day will revisit the media representations framework, a key area of study for all KS5 Film and Media Studies exams.
We will explore contemporary representations using a range of film and TV products, from LFTV Drama such as Mr Robot (2015-2019), Black Mirror (season 3: 2016) to music videos such as This is America (2018), Turntables (2020), to films such as Fish Tank (2015) and Rocks (2019).
As well as investigating how media contexts, viewpoints and ideologies inform and influence representations, we will consider how gender, race, ethnicity, disability, regionality, age interact with genre and/or authorship.
In the afternoon we’ll be joined by a leading thinker for a discussion on representation and culture plus Q&A.
Our in-venue events take place in one of the BFI’s auditoriums, school groups are encouraged to engage in an interactive lecture where learning activities using clips are designed to peek interest. Students are supported to share their thoughts and ideas helping to build confidence and deepen understanding.
