2) I believe that Destiny's films do agree with both Alverado and Fanon's theories. This is because in both clips the representation of black people is presented by stereotypical and does have connotations of a negative portrayal. For example, in the trailer for 'Gone Too Far' we see the long lost brother come out of the car wearing scruffy clothes and is generally a pure example of an African stereotype- someone who wears poor clothing etc. In addition, the use of the accent that the character speaks in, is used for more comedic purposes which fits in with Alverado's theory. In, 'Tight Jeans', it is more ambiguous in terms of black representation. This is because the clip seemed to be subverting the stereotype as the characters aren't the typical African males. It is more to do with what they say and their ideologies that fit in with the theorists. For example, exotic factor is presented during Marcus's speech about how black people were enslaves, as he begins talking about the beauty of Africa etc.
