Abstract

This research is based on a case study from which it has been concluded that Primary School children are regular consumers of series containing high levels of violent content. On this premise, this study focuses on analyzing both the types of violence appearing in these audiovisual products and the resulting portrayal of those in the leading roles. Based on this, it is a question of determining the influence these products have on Primary School children by compiling a series of drawings done by different groups of children aged between 5 and 6. These drawings will be enriched through interviews with the children to obtain their opinion. The intention is for the results to demonstrate the overexposure of audiovisual products of a violent nature, to which children are subjected and the repercussions these images have on education at an early age.
