Every media product represents a certain person or group of people in a certain way, through how they are portrayed in the product. For example a TV show might portray an old person as more wise than the young by showing them holding a baby i.e. they are providing care for it. Often the director will not consciously try to form a certain representation, however every decision they make(camera shots, clothing the characters wear etc.) does form a representation to the audience.
