3) Watch Destiny Ekaragha's clips above (more of her work is available onher website, including the short film The Park). To what extent can we apply Alvarado's and Fanon's theories to these films? Do they reinforce or subvert typical black stereotypes in British film and TV? Refer to specific scenes and events in the clips in answering this question and aim for at least 350 words.
Both Alvardo's and Fanon's work can be applied to Destiny Ekaragha's work indifferent aspects. Alvardo's theory of racial representations could relate to Ekaragha's work as in the trailer of 'Gone to far' we see 'humorous' due to the characters Jamaican accent and the way he dressed. There was also a sense of 'exotic' when the character was singing a song in Jamaican accent as their music is one of their specialties.'Humorous 'could also be linked to Tight Jeans' the characters were making jokes of the stereotype of black boys. Fanon's theory can link to Destiny Ekaragha's work as we could link primitivise and deculize to both films, as both films have exoticness as well as representing gansta and pimps.
