Audience Theory Notes

Exam Speak

-The issues raised in the targeting of national and local audiences (specifically British) by international or global institutes.

-The ways in which the candidates own experiences of media consumption illustrate wider patterns and trends of audience behaviour.

Blumer 4 audience stages

1. The audience come from all walks of life.
2. The audience are completely anonymous and don't talk to each other.
3. People don't discuss the film outside of it.
4. It's a coincidence that people do things in the cinema.

Uses of Gratifications

People watch things for entertainment, information and identification. The main reason for watching is entertainment.

The main areas that are identified in this model are:
a) The need for information about our geographical and social world news and drama
b) The need for identity, by using characters and personalities to define our sense of self and social behaviour
c) The need for social interaction through experiencing the relationships and interaction of others.
d) The need for diversion by using the media for the purpose of entertainment.

Flowchart on Film Production

Example of area of representation in a British TV show - Sexuality

This Youtube clip is taken from the british drama 'Skins'. The scene shows Maxxie, who is a homosexual, arriving at his friend Anwar's party. Anwar resited inviting Maxxie because he is Islamic, and although this doesn't bother Anwar he is concerned what his Dad will think because his Dad is a strongly Islamic, and they are against homosexualility. Because of this, this clip is an example of a representation of sexuality. Also because of how Anwar's religion is what effects this it is also an example of a representation of religion. This is also slightly a representation of Age from how it portrays teenagers.

My groups presentation on the director 'Wes Anderson'. I had never heard of Wes before we did this presentation, which was surprising because I have seen most the films he has directed. I found him very interesting because of how alot of his techniques come across in alot of his films. I was particuarly supried when I saw how many of his film have involved Owen Wilson and Bill Murray who are both amazing actors. I struggled a little bit with this since we made the presentation using a website 'prezi.com' which i had never used before.

A Bit About Me

Alright! I chose to study media because I suppose I thought it would be fun because it includes more practical work then other subjects, and also I watch alot of TV and I've sen alot of movies so I thought it would interest me :D. The other subjects that I study are Business, Economics and Graphic Design. My favourite band is probably N-Dubz, i'm not really sure why, probably because I like pretty much all the songs they make. My favourite film is probably the inbertweeners movie. I don't really read magazines at the minute.....I am starting to browse music magazines becauseit was suggested it would help with media, I ocasionally read 'four for two' which is an indepth football magazine. I use websites like facebook, twitter, skysports.com and thsun.co.uk. :) X
