• BBC 3 target demographic is 16-24.
• Sun sex and suspicious parents shows us a much more detrimental representation of young people, however shoplife is not the complete opposite but represents them in a much more empathic way ie. looking for work/promotions/daily struggles.
• Young people have become so accustomed to seeing bad representations of their age group, and by copying a program such as sun sex and suspicious parents they are copying the HYPER-REAL. Also links the Laura Mulvey male gaze theory, however it is not the male gaze, we are accustomed to seeing bad representations of teens so we associate ourselves with them.
• Things to talk about:
• Audience
• Representation eg. non diegetic sound, camera shots, shots of the lazing in bed/ getting drunk. Contrasted with more serious interviews of them sharing their ambition in work.
•   Coded scenes.
• Male/Female stereotypes , teenager stereotypes reinforced mainly.
• Materialistc, self obsession stereotypes are reinforced (First character in shoplift episode)
• editing
• He’s drinking again!' she wailed. Oh, for goodness sake, give it a rest, love - he’s on holiday. That’s what lads on holiday do.
