Q2:

• some responses might question the intentionality or otherwise of the encoder’s message
• a consideration that while a variety of meanings may be decoded there aren’t endless interpretations – meaning is understood within recognisable codes and conventions

Question 1:

• the representation of youth as diverse in terms of gender and race

• the link between genre and stereotypes – the representation of victim in the thriller/crime drama.

Question 2:

• Audiences may understand the drama as realist or symbolic, raising questions of encoding.

• The narrative and construction of character create moral
