Representation on the front pages

1. The person being represented is a teenager (thug/chav) in the middle of the London riots.
2. The image of the person being represented is a very stereotypical view of that group. Teenagers are represented as rude and terrorising towards people more vulnerable than them. They are always shown as people who wear tracksuits, with their hoods up and trainers on. They are also presented as trouble makers and are 'known' to always be causing trouble which is what this image portrays.
3. They have used the low camera angle for this news article to show that at that brief moment, the subject was full of power and that he was using it all to its full extent. The choice of images really brings out the representation because the image of the male is very fitting to the stereotype and by the tiny bit of his face you can see, you can tell that he is confident and happy with whatever he has just done. Also, the burning car in the background, makes it seem as though the teenager is strolling away from it as if he is responsible.
4. The word 'ANARCHY' used, portrays the representation as violent and as a criminal who has just maybe gone crazy and started a riot. The size of the headline is very big helping to give the subject a bigger label as anarchist because it stands out also with help by the colour of it being in contrast with the background colour of the picture.
5. The representation does fit in with the codes and conventions because it is in The Sun which is a tabloid, often being highly stereotypical, often towards teens. However, its audience is the C2, D and E demographics which is who they are portraying as this certain representation which is quite strange and does not fit the codes and conventions.
