Representation - Junior Paramedic.

Junior Paramedic -


Age- Overall junior paramedic's is a positive representation, this is because its showing young adults doing something with their lives and saving peoples lives. This goes away for the stereotype of a young adults as most of them as going out getting drunk, and only caring about themselves. Also its a positive representation as they are saving people life's. This could appeal to teenagers 15 - 18 who are trying to figure out what they want to do with their life's. This will give them a idea of what people their age and doing. Also people who thinking about being a Paramedic could see involves and what they will have to cope with and see if they can deal with what happens. It shows the viewers what life they have and shows that they are just normal teenagers, who are doing things faster then stereotypical teenager.

Gender- With a guy being the first person at the start of the credits it could show that he has most power then the rest. Giving you an impression that he is better then the females. But there are more females within the show, giving you the impression that they know more about what they want to do with their lives. With everyone doing the clearing and washing up, it gives you an impression that everyone has the same amount of power within the halls.

Issues- The issues that are shown are negative, for example the car crash at the start. Giving the view different ideas of what happened, for example was he speeding and how did it happen. This could link to personal identity, someone being able to link to that and being in that situation. 

Enthicity- most if not all are white showing on enthicity within the show, this is a negative representation.

Uses of Gratifications-
Personal Identity - will be able to take personal values from the programme.
Entrainment - filling time, relaxing.
Information- Young people wanting to know about being a Paramedic. People wanting to find out what paramedic do.
Social Integration- talk about it with your friends and family. have a conversation with someone about it. Connecting with family and friends by talking about it.
