Representations.

The person being represented in this video is a young woman who could be a metaphoric representation for the difficulties faced by younger generations in this day and age as it is get increasingly harder to make a living for oneself. So in that sense this is a negative representation as the girl in the video is homeless and sleeping on a park bench with nothing but shabby ripped clothes and a duvet to sleep under. The video represents that hardships the girl has to face. Looking at her face, you can see her eye make-up is all smudged and running down her face which shows she has been crying and is actually crying at one point in the video. This highlights the desperation of the girls situation once more acting as a negative representation. There is a slight stereotype of people that live on the street in the way that she is selling the 'Big Issue' magazine or something like it, which you would usually associate with a homeless person. Further the negative representation, the girl then turns to prostitution to try and earn some money coupled with the use of drugs. This could be seen as a partial stereotype of todays younger generations with the excessive use of Drugs or even sex to get things that you want. More negative representation can be seen when you think about how she lives on the street with barely anything to live by, but the second she gets some money, all be it from a dodgy source, she then spends it on Drugs rather than essentials such as food,drink, new clothes, ect. This shows us that she is stuck in a vicious cycle of addiction amongst other things.
