Reception theory

  1) What is the preferred reading of a media text? What the producer wants the audience the believe. 2) What is the oppositional reading of a media text? The opinion the producer doesn't want them to believe. 3) How does the Harry Brown trailer position the audience to respond to the teenage characters in the film?

  1) What information do media companies use to create a demographic profile of their audience? -Name, age, dob, gender, education, social class, ethnicity, job/earnings/profession, home. 2) Why are media companies and advertisers increasingly using audience profiling and not just demographics? -It provides a much deeper, nuanced and data driven understanding of their consumers. 3) What are the seven different Pychographic groups?  -The aspirer, The reformer, The explorer, The mainstream, The struggler, The resigned and The succeeder. 4) Write a brief summary of what each Psychographic group is seeking or motivated by. -The aspirers are motivated by image, appearance, persona, charisma and fashion.

Education: collage/sixthform This is because this how contains a high range of features that aren't age appropriate for people under the age of 17 but there might be a low percentage of under age people who watch this series. social class: Middle class/Upper class I chose this because its less likely that the group of people that are lower class are going to be watching a Netflix series as it costs money to watch Netflix and its not cheap so its more for those who are making a good amount of money.

Camera movement and editing

1) Pick  three   aspects of  camera movement  in the Minority Report clip. Identify the  type  of camera movement and write about why the director chose to use that camera movement in the scene and what effect it has on the audience. The camera movement at the start of the scene was slow steady and fits the relaxed atmosphere. Until the camera cuts from the plane to the airport and the hand camera angle slowly starts to zooms onto a person signify that this person could be the main character.

In this advert the setting and the poor face the child is making is denotation and this connotates how this child is in need of clean toilets as this add is by "water aid" a company which helps countries that dont have clean water and helps raise money for them.  3. The effect this advert will have on the audience is that they will see the state that certain people are in and want to donate and want to help. 1.
