the inner city, drugs such as heroin and crack moved in.
Page

the reason why I have chosen this topic and introduce the media text.

the actors (if necessary)

the director and the story that he was trying to portray in the film Dope.

(moral panics) & generic conventions used in Dope

information about the primary text (institutions behind production)
·
What have they produced beforehand & what correlation does it have with
the primary text
· Using migrain to
identity the key conventions – language and forms

will reinforce ideologies
· Keepin’ it real journal by
Andreana Clay: ‘Exactly how hip hop culture maps out these real and imagined
relations between people and the tools used to bring people together is an
important question to explore in the discussion of black youth identity,
cultural capital and hip hop culture’
· Keepin’ it real journal by Andreana
Clay: ‘There also was constant pressure to perform: to have the right clothes,
listen to the right music and speak the right language – all of which were
based on hip hop’
· Chapter
5 - Claiming Community Ownership via Authenticity (pp. 52-66)
"Taking
intellectual property, traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, or
artifacts from someone else's culture without permission. This can include
unauthorized use of another culture's dance, dress, music, language, folklore,
cuisine, traditional medicine, religious symbols, etc. “
“It's
most likely to be harmful when the source community is a minority group that
has been oppressed or exploited in other way.”

Quotes:
And so the idea was to sort of tell a story about the kids that not only live in these environment but live in different environments around the country and the world that sort of have a different point of view, that don't quite fit into sort of the societal norms of what people expect. And so the celebration of these kids who are geeks, who are into a lot of different things but don't necessarily fit into sort of the accepted or sort of pop cultural norms was something that I was thinking about doing more just on sort of a personal level in that I felt like I was that kid.
Although the film does not go out to glamorise the drug, its very inclusion promotes interest in that substance.
