Representation

The mediators (film makers > editors, producers, directors, etc) - interpret the 'world'

The interpretation is informed by the mediator's own background and exeriences (class, race, gender, education, age, etc)
E.g. Paul Abbott's 'shameless' (C4 2004,09)

The audience receives the interpretation, or representation, through the media text

Audiences interpret media texts and analyse representations with reference to their own backgrounds, beliefs and experiences

Representation - versions of reality
Construction of reality - remember films require a script, actors, sets, locations, props - all this has to be someone's vision!
Re-presentations 'the world' to the viewer
