I recently uploaded a rough edit of our Production Life of a football hooligan to you tube. This is not a finished product and there is still lots of work to do. i will link the YouTube video below.
Mods and rockers What are mods? Mod is a type of people that really came to the fore front of culture is the 1950’s. They were the first set of teenagers after the Second World War and were therefore the first generation with a disposable income and could afford to go out and drink and do drugs. Mods had a very iconic fashion sense that consisted of tailored suits usually based on Italian style, short slick haircuts, and they drive around on scooters like vespers and lambretta. They get a lot of their ideas from Europe. Traditionally mods were working class people living on housing estates and working in factories or coal mines. What are rockers? Rockers like mods were a subculture that got massive in the 1950’s but they were very different to mods in nearly every single way. Rockers wore biker boots, leather jackets, and jeans and traditionally rode proper motorbikes. Rockers were also working class but spent their money on different things. There was also a rivalry bet...
Giroux Theory (1997) Representation of youth Giroux views show how the youth are mistreated within media. Describing them as an empty category explains that adults don’t understand what it is like to be a youth in this generation. Therefore they just but their own ideas into this empty space of what they believe their representation is. The effects Media involving just adults therefore greatly effects these representations. The adults do not want their generation to look bad therefore uses teenagers as a scapegoat. The role of media representations in society By looking at this theory we are able to see that the representation of youth is moulded together through what adults believe and think. This then leads to uprising of stereotypes through the media and also cause moral panics. When all of this has just been created through hegemony and the media raining down their ideas.
The questionnaire that we produced to find out what people wanted consisted of just 1 question and that was, what would you rather watch a documentary on the Life Of A Football or a music video and the results were quite one sided. Out of the 10 results that we got 7 people said they would rather watch a documentary and 3 people said that they would rather watch a music video. These results even though we didn’t get as many answers as we wanted were still very one sided and because of this it had made us decide that we are going to do a documentary about a football hooligan for our production.
