Event details
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.
We’ll be joined by award winning short film maker Daniel Rands for a screening and Q&A. A recent graduate of the NFTS Directing Fiction MA program, Daniel’s talent was recognised with both the BBC and Toledo Scholarships. Daniel’s work focuses on exploring power dynamics from marginalised perspectives, often drawing on his own life experiences through a heightened lens.
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.
