Representation is the construction in any media of aspects of ‘reality’. All media texts are re-presentations of reality. They are entirely artificial versions of the reality we perceive around us. Every media form is a representation of someone's concept of existence, codified into a series of signs and symbols which can be read by an audience. Without the media, our take on things would be very different; we need the media to make sense of reality. Representation is a fluid process, producers position a text somewhere in relation to reality and audiences assess a text on its relationship to reality.
