Richard Dyer Theory of stereotypes

A Stereotype is a commonly held belief or assumption about a certain group of people. There are 4 parts to a stereotype Appearance Behaviour constructed to fit in to a particular medium Comparison with normal behaviour  Richard Dyer suggests that stereotypes are often used as a shortcut for the producer to convey their ideology.

The advert start with diagetic sound of a baby crying then we see a young boy in a cot with an empty bottle which suggests he has been neglected. the first word we hear is 'Mum' and this makes the audience wonder where his mum is and why he is not being looked after. All the children we see in this advert are in confined spaces, where there is no safe place for them. They are scared and its dark for them, the girl is hugging her toy tightly to show that this perhaps is the only thing that makes her feel safe. They use direct address like close up shots of the children staring into the camera and a high angle shot with the small boy crouching in the corner which represents vulnerabi...
