This document discusses the representation of ethnicity in images from British tourism websites and a film trailer set in Notting Hill. It provides definitions for overrepresentation and underrepresentation, and asks the reader to analyze whether the images and trailer fit these definitions based on codes, conventions, and differences in their portrayals of ethnicity.

1. Representation of Ethnicity
How is ethnicity constructed in these images
(mainly taken from British tourism websites)?
Are these positive or negative representations?
Justify your answers with analysis of codes and
conventions.

6. What is the connection between these images
and the following trailer?

7. Of course, they are set in the same place
(Notting Hill).
However, what is the difference between their
representations of ethnicity?

8. Representation
Over representation: to feature or present a
disproportionately large number of people from a
particular ethnic background, giving a false sense of reality.
Under representation: this refers to a failure to present or
feature a particular group sufficiently, in order to
adequately reflect reality. A frequent criticism of war films
is that they fail to accurately portray fighters from minority
groups, for example, focusing instead upon white efforts.
