Representation


I chose the movie 21 jump street as it is about these two police officers who have to go back to college undercover. This movie is stereotypical as police expect kids in high school to do drugs. This also shows men on motorbikes, this shows the viewer that most bikers take drugs. From the poster we can tell that the writer is stereotyping teenagers by saying that they all love prom.


The trailer shows two men who were completely different when they were young but now are best friends. This is like the ‘geek’ and ‘cool guy’ becoming best friends. The director is representing the ‘popular’ kids as the drug dealers because they are popular and know everything.  The teachers in the trailer seem very sarcastic and as if they would joke about. Lastly I think that some of the characters have been portrayed by what people think they are, how they act and how they are in person.
