Gangland + young black males

• Good, clear opening that defines the topic and text.
• Reading text off the screen not ideal but following slide is image based, much better.
• Excellent knowledge, authority coming through- engaging with audience very interested. Subject matter is quite shocking but largely narrative/description - no real media analysis or debate.
• Mention of BLM is better - very important aspect to wider media debate but no real depth offered here.
• Attempts to bring media concepts in but audience demographics are very basic- certainly not A2 level.
• Lack of media issues/debates-no attempt to include theory so far despite plenty of opportunities to.Serious lack of depth to research as a media project-clearly good knowledge of the original text but no attempt to analyse or apply media debates. E.g to what extent are gangs responsible for own representation ? Impact on wider society/ community ?
• Q+A- first question on Black lives matter is relevant. Lack of insight in response suggests a lack of research and considerate of wider issues. Essential to address this in critical investigation.
• Some more good questions but answers are quite confused and contradictory. Good knowledge of the text is a start but loads more work to do here.

• Think about slightly changing your question slightly to how young black males represent themselves.
• Go into more detail in the presentation about demographics etc.

After receiving feedback from the presentation I have decided to slightly change my topic question. Instead of basing the topic of how young males are being represented by the media I will be basing my topic on how young black males present themselves in the media. I will be looking at a number of different sources to better my research for my  critical investigation. To help me do so I will be having a look at music videos made by gang members such as 410, 67 gang , Harlem boys etc. I have chosen these gangs/ music artists as they are based in London whereas I could have chosen music from artists like Kendrick Lamar and Meek Mill but they are american artists. I do think that there are young black males who present themselves in a positive way in the media , however I have not yet found any sources which show this. So for my critical investigation this will be one of my next steps to do some more research into finding positive representations of young black males in order the balance the argument. I will also re-watch the 2 episode documentary Gangland and look at it in better detail, this will allow me to get a better opinion and view on the debate from both sides.
