- Media text : Moonlight (2016)
- Media issues: Identity/ Sexuality/Representation of black men/ Toxic Hyper-masculinity
Link to Media key concepts (MIGRAIN) - at least THREE: e.g. Ideology, Narrative,
Representation. Explain the link between each concept and your chosen text/topic.
Narrative: There is imagery and symbolism also enigma codes to link to question certain stereotypes about black men.
Representation: Showing a minority of people i.e black gays, sexuality in the black male community, broken households, stereotypes of women and men. As there are two main women in the movie on which represents guidance and another a mother, who may represent a broken household as she does a lot of drugs and abuses her child.
Audience: The audience pleasure as they can identify to the story line
Institution: As there has been a lot media coverage about LGBTQ+ and a lot of coverage of the need for diversity in the media this could be used to gain money or view ship for the movie.
Wider context - impact of text/topic on society: Why is your chosen topic important? What impact does this debate have on audiences or institutions?
As a lot of the time minorities are not represented especially those of the LGBTQ+ community in a lot of movies and if so most a minor roles or are not suggested in the characters and so this is a ground breaking movie also that it challenges black males stereotypes of being hyper masculine and not being sensitive.
Linked production: Looking further forward, write a brief description of the media product you intend to make as a linked production to run alongside your investigation.
I don't have a specific linked production but I think a leaflet would fit or a video clip with the same imagery shown like in the movie ddi in portraying the difference in black men growing up and hyper masculinity being a trait which is sill embedded into the black community
