"When it comes to imagery surrounding black youngsters, I'm used to the relentlessly negative – knife crime, underachievement, family breakdown, we've all seen it."
This quote can be very useful within the essay, as it shows a glimpse of audience theory when watxchin the news, for example the hypodermic needle can be shown hrough this quote as it shows people watch the news and automatically agree or intake this information and believe what is being shown.
Media Litreacy ...

"constant negative messages may be to marginalize minorities as irrelevant or as a threat to society."
"Minorities are likely to suffer when depicted as a "social problem" or as "having problems" typical of "others" or "foreigners." They come across as violent and emotionally unstable "
These quotes back up the idea of what ethinc minorites face when their steretotypes are put into perspective within UK News. Also this would link to Stuart Halls theory as he acknowledges the black man as the enemy or the violent type.

"Kidulthood takes you deep into London's unseen and delivers a gritty, hard-hitting reflection of what life is really like for 21st century teenagers."
As this film will be one of the main film texts i will be focussing on, this quote allows me to show that the film goes into dpeht foccusing on the investgation i will be looking at - black teenagers. Kidulthood shows how stereotypical teengaers live thei life, this involves gun and knife crime as well as sex, drugs and alchohol. This film can also be linked to the idea that the film may add detail to the moral panic that black teenagers are disobedient.

"The film focuses on one black teenager, and his attempt to find his way in a white-dominated society. Black awareness meeting is violently raided by the police, and Anthony sees these 'organised forces of repression' at work, his political awakening begins."
The reason why the film "Pressure" (1975) will connect with this investigation would be due to the reason that i can compare this film with Kidulthood, as they both have a similar storyline, hwever it will allow me to explore whether there have been changes within the time period, also how audience theory could have been different with both storylines. Also as Pressure was the first Black British film to be made, the film can be explored as this may have been the first stereotypical view that was portrayed towards the British public.
