BFI reflection

BFI Reflection:

At the BFI we looked at representation of social groups in media, in particular films and moving images.

The first social group we looked at and analysed representations was of ethnic minorities, specially the black community. We first looked at Beyoncé’s music video for formation, in which there where many references to the civil rights movement and the recent Black Lives matter movement, in which these movements were praised. Secondly, we looked at another documentary interview, whereby a young black girl was being interviewed in her journey of attending University of Oxford. Both videos, empowered the black community through representing black people as significant in history and as intelligent.
