Remember, the question on Representation is only worth 25 marks and you only have 30 minutes to answer it, so ideally you are only looking for between 400 and 600 words.

NB: Representations are not just about people, but also places and things.

ESSAY STRUCTURE
There are several ways that you could answer this question. Here are some examples of how to structure your response:
1. Describe the coursework piece and apply representation to the analysis of it. Go through it chronologically.
2. Introduce different theories and then discuss the way each can be applied to your production.
3. Group your essay according to the different social groups represented in the production. This way only works if you have a variety of different representations, or if you have a varied and nuanced single representation.
