Representation Notes.

Stereotypes:
- Media industries use stereotypes, which are usually repeated so we believe they're normal/true

Archetypes:
- 'Ultimate' stereotypes e.g. White stiletto wearing, big busted, brainless blonde bimbos

Counter-Type:
- Challenges tradition stereo-typically associations of groups

Representation:
- The way in which people, events and ideas are presented to the audience
- The media takes something that is already there and represents it to us in the way that they choose.
- They are created by producers of media texts
- What they choose to present to us is controlled by gatekeepers.

Gatekeepers:
- Any person involved in a media production with the power to make a decision about something the audience are allowed to.
