Representation

Representation in The Inbetweeners

The inbetweeners is a tv programme which represents the age of around 16-20, this is because they are shown in a school and this means that the comedy used can relate to those in the age group. The class shown is hard to find as they are school students but going from the characters families they are around lower-middle class working class which is the large majority of the population in England. There is no race or religion which is shown, this may be due to what is called "secularisation" which is when religion is becoming less important in todays society so it may not need to be shown in todays society. The Region which is shown in the in-betweeners is England, they stereotype the characters to match the Stereotype of British youths, this adds to the humour of the programme as it allows people to connect with the programme. The events/issues which are shown with the programme are the fact that they are all trying to get a girlfriend and they are all failing. The gender which the show is aimed at is male, however the humour can work for both genders. The humour is aimed more towards men as the problems which they face are more understandable for men.

Film :- Sinister

Sinister is a horror movie which is aimed toward the audience of 15 to 30, this is the most common viewing group for horror movies as those of an older age make up a small percentage of those who go to see it at the cinema. It does not show any particular race/religion/region unless you count that the movie is set in america although this doesn't make much of a difference for the viewers. The class which the movie may be representing is the middle class as the film shows those who live in a decent sized house which shows that they are a middle class family, although the movie does also appeal to those who are below middle class as the movie is a horror. This movie is aimed towards both genders as both genders are represented in the movie.

Magazine :- mens health, this is most likely aimed at the class of middle class and below, this is as those who are upper class can afford their own personal trainers instead of getting health tips from magazines. It represents those who are ages of 20-40 through those shown on the front cover. It represents men.
