ATTACK THE BLOCK
1) George Gerbner came up with the Cultivation Theory. Stan Cohen - Moral panic, deviance amplification by the media. David Gauntlett "identity is not 'given' but is constructed and negotiated"
2) The producers present the youth through their ideas as they are adults, so they look down on the youth in a negative light. yet use the adult characters in the movie to present the youth in a more of heroic way, portraying how not all youth are reckless and can also get along with a grown up.
3) I don't fully agree with Buckingham's statement because the youth were presented in the end as normal friendly boys just out for some action like their video games, they didn't mean harm in the end, even though they did in the beginning. The plot transformed them as people.
4) The youth saved the woman they originally mugged, conveying their transformation.
5&6) The media provided the tools to the audience to construct the identity of the youth, such as their weapons, their language and their low quality lifestyle, therefore I agree with Gauntlett's statement.
7) Also, the youth had their own humorous personalities which made them appear more normal and friendly, allowing the audience to judge each character based on the way they were as a person and not just on how they acted and treated others (in the beginning)
