Address each dot point : You need to  give attention to how the representation  was introduced. Look to any production values- such as camera  shot or angle, visual composition , sound and costume. Discuss how this representation has been framed from the outset to either engage , confront or be in opposition to the audience

 

Then discuss  through the characters development  the values embodied in the representation and how these values may  represent  events that occured during the production period
