As chavs only came about and know to everyone in the early 2000's, try have always had the negative representation.
When chavs first came about they were known for wearing garish outfits, cheap designer brands such as Burberry, having their hair slicked back and wearing tacky looking gold jewellery. They were know to be foul mouthed, and percived to be a menace to society always causing trouble
and giving grief to others in society and having a 'not caring' attitude.
However over the years chavs are still seen in the same way but a lot has changed.
They have become more violent, lawless and out of control. They are still know to wear the same things but have moved forward slightly fashion wise but were more printed clothes and cheaper tackier versions of the high street clothes but the guys stil wear the same sports gear and trainers but they all seemed to have moved away from cheap designer and now wear fake designer brands or 'knock offs' as it fits in more with fashion today. Although you could still spot out a chav from the crowd.
Over the years young chavs have seen to commit more serious crimes. The crime rate has risen and everyday you hear of some sort of gang related or youth crime. Chavs have become a more known and talked about topic than it was in the past and the talk about gang culture is more often as gang culture has risen and become a more serious and big issue today.
Some rules have been taken against chavs as in 2005 wearing hoods up was banned in shopping centres. This was because wearing hoods and having faces covered looked intimidating and suspicious to others around so therefore a ban was out upon it.
Council estates have always been seen as an area wear chavs live and are from, they are known as the worst areas to live and be from ,as gang violence and crime is home to council estates. The amount of stabbings, shootings and murders around council estates and certain areas is ridiculously high.
Over the years the amount of people who are now on benefits has increased. More people are now on benefits for various reasons such as child, housing, unemployment ad the people on these benefits are seen to be chavs, working class or single mums with a large 'brood'.
Do with all these similarities and differences brings the typical view and representations of chavs today.

Research from magazines and the internet.
Media Magazine Sep'12 : Self Image and the Media
Pete Turner: Representations of modern youth.
Typical representation of young people in Britain is the image of the 'Chav', which has become a symbol of David Cameron'd 'Broken Britain' and a cultural movement of young people that is easy to recognise.
Hooded, tattooed and anonymous due to a covered face, 'chavs' wear tracksuits, trainers and wear some dazzling gold jewellery aka 'bling'.
Supposedly this is what the youth in British streets:
Pete Turner: Representations of modern youth.

Hooded, tattooed and anonymous due to a covered face, 'chavs' wear tracksuits, trainers and wear some dazzling gold jewellery aka 'bling'.
Supposedly this is what the youth in British streets:
- Uneducated
- Poor but covered in labels and logos
- Aggressive
- Making hand gestures such as gun and gang signs
- Indecency such as hands stuffed down trousers
However Tom Hampson argued that 'It is deeply offensive to a largely voiceless group, especially when used in middle- class conversation and on TV. Reveals level of class hatred'.
Little Britains 'Vick Pollard' is the ultimate chavette. Her character became a symbol of the ladette-ish teenage girls who are seen to be mouth, stupid, working class and sometimes pregnant. The word chav is associated with snobbery, an attitude which the working class is looked down on.
But the stereotyping of Britain's young women has received criticism for being- 'grotesque' sketches about chavswritten by public school educated comedians like David Walliams and Matt Lucas. (de Castella, 2011)
More positive representations came onto TV screens with Shameless(2004) and Misfits(2009)
Frank Gallagher(Shameless) may not be a young hoodie, but he epitomizes the 'council' background often presumed to go hand in hand with the chav. (Fuller, 2009). Franks family may be stupid and working class but have alot of love and care for each other.
Misfits' Kelly at first impression is that she is your typical chav who wouldn't look out of place on Jeremy Kyle but behind all that shes got a heart of gold and is fiercely loyal.
Chavs are now appearing in British 'hood' films, there is concern that the representations are doing more harm than good.
Kidulthood (Menhaj Huda, Damian Jones 2006) has been accused of glamorising violence and chav culture.
Noel Clarke, writer of the film defends it as being honest representations of Britain's modern youth.
With so many youth movements from mods to rockers, hippies and emos music has had a large part of creating the 'chav' image.
British band N-Dubz have been referred as Chavs.
Plan B's music video for Ill Manors uses images from the London riots 2011 and celebrates the stereotypes that the media perpetuate about council estate youths.
'If you stereotype people as socially worthless then they will grow into those stereotypes' - Lynskey, 2012
Recent stories of Chavs in the media have risen:
'71% of articles from a range of tabloid, broadsheet and local papers involving young people were negative in tone, and a third were crime orientated. - Heath, 2011
Not surprising that Plan B and others are concerned about stereotypes becoming self fulfilling prophecies:
'Here, then is a modern folk devil maligned just about everywhere, from schoolyards to the offices of upscale newspapers' - Harris, 2007
The 2011 riots broiught the chav back into the headlines, hooded youths causing trouble committing crimes across the country. The were all over the news, front pages of newspapers, headlines.
This cased some to declare that:
'What chav seems to me to mean is an aggressive, self assured, unashamedly materialistic person. I don't think 'chavs' are an innocent group of victims'. - Thorne, BBC News
Although youth crime has been around for years we hear about it a lot more now.
So both negative and positive representations have been found on Chavs.

Theorist.
Owen Jones - British Author
Published a book about Chavs: The Demonetization of the Working Class.
Published a book about Chavs: The Demonetization of the Working Class.
- Argues about the political and media view of Chavs.
- The book exposes class hatred in modern Britain. He says how 30 years a once proud working class has now turned into a violent, degenerate, workless mob.
- Made a joke about Woolworths closing saying "Where will all the chavs get their Christmas presents?''
- 'Commentators looked at Chavs in a new light. I suppose, because the word "chav" was being bandied around to describe the rioters, particularly on Twitter and Facebook'.
- "Children without fathers" was one of the factors identified by David Cameron; it was a point echoed by right-wing commentators, peple said it was these children who were invlcved in the riots as they came from a 'broken home' and were of the lower class status.
- He said how politicians are complaining about the cost of restoring the riots and want justice but pre-riots these british politicians helped them selves to millions of taxpayers money. So Jones questions here if this could be used as a reson for why these young bristish 'chavs' who are lowerclass and have little money were involved in the riots.
- Jones also says that is was obvious why people rioted as they saw it as an opportunity to steal with a little chance of getting caught. For some it was a thrill, somthing to do a chance to show off and some got caught up in the crowd sensing that accepted social norms had temporarily been suspended. Others looked at the shameless greed of the bankers and policticians feeling that if those at the top could get away with it why couldnt they?

Screen Shots
This screen shot shows four guys in a deserted field at night. As you can see three of the guys are standing in a very tough and threatening way as they surround the other guy who is the victim and has clearly been kidnapped and had his hands tied behind his back against his own will, this looks like a violent or deathly situation as the guy is helplessly on the floor outnumbered buy the other guys. By the body language you can tell the victim is scared and threatened where as the others give off the vibe that they are in charge and can do as they please. Looking at the background you can see that they are obviously in a deserted, hidden field and that they have carried this out at night to be more secretive, private and hidden, also you know its at night as they are using the lights from their car which is a van that was used to kidnap and carry out their plans for the night. They again are portraying that violent lawless image often give to young people today (especially chavs) and showing that they will go to any lengths carry out their 'missions' even if that means breaking the law
In this screen shot two guys are sat in the car with one holding a gun. The guy holding the gun is clearly pointing it at someone in a very threatening and scary way. The look on the guys face shows that he does not care about the illegal weapon he is using that could kill someone, he obviously wants to scare and make the person on the other end of the gun fear for their life and he has a very aggressive and angry facial expression showing that he means 'business' and is very serious. The two guys are in a car showing that if the guy did shoot someone they have a getaway as the driver could easy drive away from the situation as if they were never their and never committed the crime which is one of the ways a lot of young people and criminals escape from a crime they committed.

Film: Historic.
For my film I have chosen Kidulthood.
.jpg)
Producer: Damian Jones - also produced sequel Adulthood.
British drama film about young teenagers in West London.
The characters in the film behave in a violent and lawless manner. They are portrayed as being reckless and anti- social young people.
They all the have stereotypical 'chav' image.
Reviews
Screen Shots
This screen shot from the film shows an extreme close up of one of the young characters in the film. She appears to be smoking an illegal substance but its obvious she does not care that she is underage, taking illegal drugs which has serious effects as she is just staring straight into the camera with not a care in the world. In the film she is portrayed as a typical 'chav' which you can also tell from this picture as she has her hair pushed back and is wearing big gold hooped earrings and a big gold chain. Also by the way she is staring into the camera may show that she thinks she looks 'good' or 'bad' and smoking drugs may make her look 'cool', which most people think that is what chavs think of themselves.
This screen shot shows two guys from the film clearly in a violent situation. The are both wearing sports gear and are wearing hates and one has both a hat and their hoodie up which is another typical 'chav' look. The screen shot shows that one guy is point as knife or some sort of dangerous weapon in the other guys face clearly showing that they are violent and lawless. The guy has a very annoyed and angry facial expression as he clearly isn't taking the fact that a weapon is being held up again his face very well. This realistically portrays that young teenagers are very violent and use weapons aimlessly to show that they are 'hard' or 'tough' when they are actually seen as the weaker ones.
This screen shot shows a character from the film drinking alcohol. She is clearly drinking underage and is sat on the floor in a dark alley way judging by the background she is in a public place so town center etc. She is by herself so her drinking clearly isn't for enjoyment or being sociable but she may be drinking because of certain problems she is facing or because she may be an alcoholic which most chavs are seen as and also by looking at this picture most people would say she is a chav because of the points made above and the fact that only the working class people who sit on the floor in a dark alley way and drink. This again portrays the fact that young teenagers/chavs do not care about others or the public around them and they will do as they please meaning they will drink underage in public.

Reviews
- The Guardian - 'a rolllicking UK youth ride'
- The Times - 'it takes all the violence, sex and intoxication experienced in teenage life and condense it into a single day.'
- Rotten Tomatoes - This British drama follows a day in the lives of four poor youths living in an impoverished neighborhood in West London, where the pressure and desperation of poverty propels each of them towards the choice between a life of bleakness, violence, and crime, and the terrifying prospect of striving for a better life

Chavs
Chavs
Chav is a stereotype and negative description commonly used, mainly in the UK. The stereotype was popularised in the Britian to refer to working-class youth subculture in England, who are lawless, violent, rude and direspectful to others around them.
They are known to wear sportswear such as Adidas, and designer clothes such as Burberry. They usually wear various bits of gold jewellery, hats and hoodies
Presentation I made on Chavs:
http://www.slideshare.net/lraza123/chavs
Images of 'Chavs':
Shows young girls wearing different bits of sportswear and jewellery, making hand gestures and holding bottles of alco-pop, which is usually seen as the drinks 'chavs' would have as they are pretty cheap and have a little percentage of alcohol in them. It looks like they might be in a club or at a party. Also the clothes they are wearing which is seen as typical 'chav' wear is unusual to wear in clubs or at parties as its very informal, scruffy and cheap. So by wearing these clothes e.g. tracksuits, trainers sports wear, singles out the people wearing them and gives them the stereotypical 'chav' image.
Group of young teenagers wearing hats/hoodies, the boys are wearing jeans or tracksuits and the girls are wearing colourful clothing such as vest tops, leggings/shorts have their hair slicked back in a pony tail and wearing various bits of jewellery. The they are posing and looking at the camera seriously may suggest they are trying to be intimidating or show anyone looking at this picture they are 'better' than them.
This picture is taken from the riots that happened in 2011. As you can see its mainly boys in the picture who have been commiting crimes such as theft and violence, these boys seem to have attacked someone who is helplessly on the ground surrounded by a big groups of the intimidating boys and seems to be being mugged/have possessions stolen from them but as there is a big group of them who are violent and threatening the person is left victim to them. The boys seem to be wearing dark clothing, sportswear such as tracksuits, trainers and hats, they are also covering their faces with their hoodies or scarfs etc. These things may show the boys are clearly trying to keep their identities hidden, they do not want to be noticed by others and again want to remain reserved but have a very unapproachable and frightening look to them.
Big group of teenagers, both female and males wearing different bits of jewellery sports wear such as tracksuits, trainers, jackets, hoodies. The girls are wearing bright coloured clothing and printed clothing, vest tops, most of them have their hair pushed back and are wearing big hoop earrings. The way thety are all posing and looking at the camera may suggest they 'rule' or are 'in charge' of the area/location they are in which looks to be a block of flats in the background. One guy is smoking and others ave there arms crossed and are looking away may be showing they don't care and have no interest about their surrounding etc.

Shows a
group of young boys wearing hoodies covering there faces and making

be avoided by most people. The fact that they are wearing black could show that they avoid other colours so they blend in with the crowd or wear dark colours to be reserved and look the same as their friends or 'gang' members.

Picture of
Little Britians popular character Vicky Pollard who is decribed as a 'typical
chav'. In the picture you see her wearing bright pink sports wear, gold chains,
hair half tied up with a scrunchie. Shes with a guy who is wearing a
cap, hooded jacket and posing with his arm around her with her looking at the
camera pulling a disgusted and not amused face. In the background you can also
see they could be on an estate standing by council flats which is where you'd expect to see/find 'chavs'. In the program Little Britain vicky is seen as the ultimate 'chav' who drinks and smokes and is usually dressed in bright pink Kappa tracksuit and has her hair pulled back with a scrunchie which is typical chav hairstyle as is hair slicked back in pony. She doesn't care what others think about her and is unaware of how grotesque her appearance is and thinks shes 'hot' which is what most people would say most chavs think about them selves. Also she has the 'chav' accent and speaks in an inappropriate way, always swearing, shortening words and lacking knowledge in what she says.

Questions - Post Production.
What Did You Do In Post Production?
For AS post production, I used Photoshop for basically every task. I actually made my music magazine on Photoshop. After I took my photos for my magazine I uploaded them onto the Apple Macs and then edited them on Photoshop and using the layers tool to put all the bits together like the text and photos.
Using Photoshop I edited the photos, changing the sizes, adding different colour effects, changing contrast and brightness to make them look better and more appealing. I then uploaded these photos separately onto my blog on blogspot.com and uploaded all the parts to my finished music magazine.
How Well Did You Use Them?
I mainly used Photoshop for post production which was very new software to me, so I learnt a lot of new skills using this software such as the specific tools and features it included.
I used Photoshop well for someone who has never used it before after getting used to this software. I only used the simple tools as I didn’t have time to learn everything so I felt that if I had learnt more I could’ve used Photoshop better to improve my music magazine.
What Did You Learn?
I learnt that post production is really important and using a huge software like Photoshop meant that I would have to learn all the aspects and different tools etc, of Photoshop that would make my magazine look more professional than what other software’s would.
Although I had to spend a lot of time learning how to use Photoshop as there are so many tools features you can use. Because of this I only used simple tools such as photo effects, crop, layers, shapes, text etc as I didn't have enough time to learn how to use them all meaning I could’ve used Photoshop better than I did. So for my A2 I need to learn to make sure I make time for what I still need to learn for the software’s I use.
Questions - Using Conventions from Real Media
Which Were The Most Influential Conventions For You? How Did Your Study Of Them Effect Your Decisions and Outcomes?
The most influential conventions for my AS music magazines were the ones I found when I done my research. These conventions were the main image, the masthead/title, the colours, barcode and price, fonts, other images, layout if page, captions/quotes, whats included in the page, competitions/adverts etc. I found all of these conventions after looking at a lot of other music magazines such as Q, NME, Vibe, XL etc. I looked at music magazines from different genres such as Rock, Rap, R&B and chart music, and looked at how they presented their magazines.
These conventions were very influential as they were the basics and most necessary as they made the magazine because it needs all these conventions to be a good and normal magazine. For example, if a magazine didn't have a main image it would be very plain and boring and it wouldn't appeal to its audience.
Most of the music magazines I looked at in my research had a house style. So I tried to use a house style which was a influential convention for me as other music magazines i looked at used them and I wanted my music magazine to look as professional and like other music magazines as possible.
Another influential convention that effected my outcomes was the images. In my research I noticed that most music magazines had either one main image of a band/artist that is the main focus of the magazine or included in the magazine or loads of little images of stories/articles included in the magazine. So by looking at these influenced my decision as I looked at which looked better and was used more, which is why I decided to go with one main picture to appeal to the audience and make them want to see what is included inside.
2. Did You Subvert Any Conventions That You Studied In Music Magazines?
I don’t think that I really subverted any conventions as I wanted my magazine to try to look professional like other music magazines, I’ve also never made a magazine so I tried to follow the norms/rules of making one not thinking of how subverting conventions could have made my magazine more interesting and creative.
One way I did subvert conventions was my main image. I noticed in my research that a lot of magazines used close up pictures of bands/artist and had a plain or edited background or some even have no background at all. So I decided to go a different way and use a mid-shot image of my ‘artist’ which include a lot of the background which you could clearly make out what it was and I didn't crop or edit the background keeping it original but added a slight colour effect to it. I chose this specific background as I thought it looked appealing and fitted in well with the genre of my music magazine which was ‘indie’. Although overall I didn't think my magazine looked professional and I should’ve really edited my image
Questions - Research and Planning.
Detail how your understanding of the importance of good research and planning skills developed throughout the pre-production of your AS and A2 coursework?
Research and planning in my AS coursework was very important as I needed to get these skills to get through and complete my coursework.
Keeping track of research and planning is very important as you will be less likely to forget or miss something important. Also making sure you have the time for research and planning is important as well as making enough time for everything again means you'll have less chance of forgetting to do something. i could have done better with this in my AS coursework.
I also didn't think of the fact I would be using new software/hardware such as Apple macs, Photoshop, iMovie etc. So I wasted a lot of time learning how to use these, as I didn't include it in my research and planning meaning it set me back a lot when it came to make my magazine. So in A2 I will take this into consideration and leave enough time for things like this.
How did your knowledge of digital technology aid your research and planning skills throughout the pre-production of your AS and A2 coursework?
My knowledge of digital technology was very helpful for my research and planning.
Using digital technology such as e-mail was an easy way to contact my teachers about my coursework and deadlines or any questions I had. Also my mobile phone was another way of conducting the people who I used in my magazine, both of these ways were useful as it made planning easier.
Another was the internet which helped a lot for my pre-production. As making my blog was a helpful way to keep track and check all my work and help plan and keep organised as I could check that I had done all the work that had to be done.
What were good and bad things about the software and hardware you used at AS in terms of skill development?
The software i used in AS was fairly easy to use and i got the hang of things quick although at first i had to learn how to use these softwares such as Photoshop and iMovie as i had never used these before so they were new to me. i learnt a lot of new skills using these softwares.
The hardwares i used such as apple macs were also new to me so i had to learn how to use them as i had never used one before so it took some time getting used to.
Questions.
1. Do You Think You Were Creative Or Not Throughout The Coursework?
I don't think I was very creative throughout my coursework as I feel I didn't put a lot of thought in my coursework and couldve been more creative with my ideas. I didn't really think of how to make some parts of my course work creative as I feel I'm not really a creative person which I feel showed in my work and I went for a very safe and simple look for my coursework and didn't think of creativity.
2. Did Technology Enhance Your Creativity Or Not?
It enhanced my creativity a little as the features of the technologies made me change some parts of my coursework to make it look better and a bit more creative. For example with the Apple Macs I used alot of editing features to make my pictures look better and be more effective and different to try fit with my 'indie' genre based music magazine
3. What ideas did you communicate and what stylistic techniques did you use? How did it relate to your interest/self identity?
4.Was Your Product Influenced By Your Environment?
My product wasn't really influenced by my environment although I did use just the outside environment for the background/setting for some parts of my coursework, e.g. my pictures as the environment fitted in well with the theme for my music magazine and looked good for the backdrop.
5. Was It Original Or Did You Add Something Extra To An Original Media Text?
It wasn't completely original as I researched and looked at other music magazines so I took ideas and examples from them and changed them up for my music magazine e.g I looked at the layout of other music magazines and what type of fonts and colours they would use for their magazines.
6.Would You Take Any Creative Skills Into Future Projects Or Have You Been Influenced To Engage These Skills In Any Other Projects?
I would take the creative skills i learnt from my AS media coursework and use them for my A2 media coursework and any other future projects, as I haven't been very creative in the past so it has influenced me to take the creative skills I have learnt and make sure I try to be creative with every idea I have for my next and future projects, as I feel I can now be more creative after looking back at the mistakes I made and how I lacked creativity in my AS media coursework.
