13A homework - 26/11/12

I enjoyed our lesson today on verisimilitude and mediation. There were many good points made and I like the way our ideas are joining up whether we're talking about the riots, hegemony, Kidulthood or even Reece's favourite... Up The Junction (1968).

The homework, as you know, is to answer the four questions on your blog having watched the opening scene of Kidulthood. The questions:


What representation of young people in London do we see in the opening of Kidulthood? 

Is it a fair representation?

Is it a good example of verisimilitude (think of realism or being true-to-life)? 

Has a process of mediation taken place with the filmmakers concentrating on one aspect of youth culture? 

Due: next Monday - make sure it's on your blog before the lesson
