ETHNICITY FEEDBACK NOV 2011

Overall, a solid effort for the most part on a difficult task.
More of a focus on sound and editing was evident.

A few points to note to help with the next task:

  • Where possible, give a short (a few lines) of an intro to state your overall position. You DON'T have to make an official statement saying 'ethnic minorities in this clip are always...' or 'women in this clip are constantly painted as...' but a more general statement such as 'for the most part...' or 'overall...' or even 'the representations of various ethnic groups change throughout this clip...' - even though this isn't a definitive position, it is a position nonetheless. Some essays are too disjointed and read as though you aren't entirely sure about classification at all.
  • Remember the key word - REPRESENTATION. You should be using the phrase 'this group are represented as being...' a few times.
  • You MUST consider the society in which we live and bring what you know about representations into it. Is a particular group painted in a stereotypical light? Or are they presented as being completely different to how we might normally perceive them? If so, why?
