1) Read Media Factsheet 142: Identity and Film.

3) Classify your answers into the categories listed on the Factsheet: Social groups, ideological beliefs, interests etc.
4) Go back to your favourite film (as identified in the lesson). What does this choice of film say about your identity? Are there any identities within the film (e.g. certain characters) that particularly resonated with your values and beliefs?
My favourite film was 'Batman Begins'. The character of Bruce Wayne particularly resonated as he nonchalant amongst times of conflict and complication. This would represent me, as I'd say it would take the weight of the world to get me to worry and anxious, I like to be positive and optimistic.

5) Watch the trailers for the five films highlighted as examples of gay/lesbian representation in mainstream film. How are LGBT identities constructed in the trailers and how are audiences encouraged to respond to these representations?
