Representation refers to the construction in any medium especially the mass media of aspects of 'reality' such as people, places, objects, events, cultural identities and other abstract concepts. Such representations may be in speech or writing as well as still or moving pictures. There are four key themes in racial representation; exotic, dangerous, humorous, pitied.
Stereotypes are simple and one dimensional. Filmmakers often rely heavily on stereotypes, because they're a quick and simple way to establish a movie character's traits.
