Key Points of Stuart Hall's theory
- Hall emphasises the importance of visual representation – the image seems to be the prevalent sign of late modern culture.
- Representation – to present/to depict.The word suggests something was there already and has been re-presented by the media.
- Representation as that which stands in for something else.
- Representation is the way in which meaning is given to the things which are depicted that stand in for something.
This is a usefully concept for our film as we are aiming to re-present our to teenage characters as not thugs or menaces to society but as two young people at are trying to finding there way in life and discover their "Utopia" through this life of depression and unforfillment.
