To what extent is human identity increasingly mediated?

 - Fish Tank: It creates a 'grubby', poor identity for people living in council estates. The audience would take it as literal which relates to the theory of Marcuse. Marcuse believes we follow what the media say and accept what you see and believe it.

- The main characters of Fish Tank are known as lower class which relates to the theory from Stryker.  The family in the film would be considered as common and create there own identity which is Strykers theory. The theory relates to the film as it develops a consistent identity of a family.
Are you being served? Gives the impression that younger people are unintellectual It also creates a overly camp image of the man hinted to be homosexual.

An education is increasingly mediated as the audience are easily effected by the change in emotions from Jenny. This follows Althusser's theory as the film controls the audiences feeling towards Jenny. The theory means we take their representations to be reality which is what happens to Jenny as at the beginning we see Jenny as a naive young girl then becomes a confident, poised girl then falls back to be naive and confused.
 

Coronation Street represents an image of a poor person in the 1970s through the character of Tommy. His costume gives the impression he is lower class and he is always filmed whilst drunk and being cheeky. what you see from Tommy matches Marcuse's theory.
