In a episode of Eastenders,
Stereotypes are usually challanged by another character that the stereotpe would be seen to not get on with. For example, Ray is challanged by a policeman. In real life black people, especially men, are stereotyped as casusing trouble and ending in conflict with the police so this is shown in Eastenders. It is also represented by the police man talking down to Ray like he is nothing.
Stereotypes are also represented in the way a by stander acts. For example, Mo in eastenders just stood there and watched until Ray was found not guilty she then went over and helped, but if there was someone from the same race they may have got involved sooner. This also shows how stereotyping can effect other people when they are standing by and that it is very different if someone is being judged from the same race or not and that would have a big impact on how they acted. This is also represented in TV dramas and was represented in Eastenders.
Some good initial ideas. Note details of which episode of EastEnders, what date it was transmitted, and the timecode of the clip. Aim to refer to specific shot types and how power is conferred on different characters, or conflict shown, by the type of shot chosen. If you add screen grabs of the shots you are talking about, this will illustrate your point more clearly and make your blog more visual.
