X Factor - Two Contestants

Before the audition starts, there're cuts to a few people in the audience, as well as the judges themselves, who're obviously a bit skeptical, since the few people that do sing their own songs, are almost iconically terrible.

When the audition starts, the main focus is on the contestant, Lucy Spraggan, to put emphasis on her, since it's almost "her moment". Since she's normal looking, twenty, from Sheffield, selling baby photos on the hightstreet, which contrasts with the sort of high fame moment she's being given, live audition. It often uses close ups or mid shot to show her in centre frame. It will occasionally cut away onto the judges looking to each other, as if in "disbelief" or some sort of excitement that they've found someone they think has talent. The cameraman also cuts away often, since her song is comedic, pausing for people when they laugh, cutting to judge reactions, and the crowd.

Class

                                               

In this article, a middle class worker (counsellor, three children) contracted HIV from her boyfriend because he didn't reveal he had it to her, this is an incredibly negative representation, see the "before and after", which shows her before, and her now just a few years later, with her holding the pills she has to have everyday so she doesn't contract AIDS.  This is incredibly negative representation, since it shows her when she was happy, compared to now, when she looks much older, more depressed. The value of the media producer is to raise awareness in a way, to show how devastating something like this can be and to try to shock/scare the public into being more cautious about their partners.

Sexuality

In this article Jim Parson, the actor who plays Sheldon Cooper in "The Big Bang Theory" a comedic sitcom made by Chuck Lorre, comes out as a homosexual, which breaks stereotype, as in the show, he acts as one of the main characters, being an introverted, nerdy and socially inept character who's cold and calculating, which is a positive representation, as it shows that not ALL homosexuals act the way they are stereotyped to. The values of the producer of this article is to do the tabloids job for them, to get it out onto the web without much care as to the person who suffers from the backlash of such harmful media, as it makes an almost passive aggressive talk about the gay community for "gay stars".

Age

Logan's Run is set in a dystopian future in which everyone lives a hedonistic and self centred life style, but are forced to attend something called "Carousel" a ritual sort of thing that requires the people to have to willingly kill themselves in order for the system to work. This happens at age 30. This puts a lot of the film's focus on age, due to the fact that anyone over thirty either accepts their fate for the good of the society, or they become a "runner" and are hunted down. This representation is incredibly negative, as people are not just discriminated at old age, because they never really reach old age, they're just killed. The producer of Logan's Run did still include the elderly, near the end having found outer civilisation for runners, there was shock in seeing someone that old, having only lived inside the society for years. The producer represented them in a positive light, as they are, in actuality, the good guys, and that the society was wrong.

Gender

The Hunger Games are set in a dystopian future in which people have to compete in the "Hunger Games" as a punishment, but also as a reminder of past events. The Hunger Games themselves are a televised death match for the purpose of entertainment for the "Capitol". One male and one female are taken from each district for it. Katniss Everdeen volunteers when her sister is taken, and acts as the main protagonist for the films, and books. Throughout all of it, she uses her wit, might and strength to survive, which breaks convention for most action films, since they often have strong male roles. She's represented in a very positive light, and throughout most of it, she doesn't simply just use brute force to make it through, mostly relying on her own wit and survival skills.
