Audience effect theory

 Task 1:

1) What is the preferred reading of a media text?

The narrator speaking in third person.

2) What is the oppositional reading of a media text?

The oppositional reading goes against the meaning the producers are trying to create.

Task 2:
Write a definition of an active audience: 

An active audience is a audience up to date and encouraged to learn more 

Task 3:
 Write a definition of the hypodermic needle theory: 

The definition of the hypodermic needle theory for me is something being injected in peoples mind (metaphor)
Such as thoughts

4) Write down a media product (e.g. TV show, newspaper or videogame) for each category of Blumler and Katz's Uses and Gratifications theory and WHY it fits that particular audience use/gratification. The first one is done for you: 

The Kardashians - Sets the trend using celebrities as a front

Family guy- They have attracting audience because of a dog who speaks, a baby who speaks, a father who cant raise a family properly and a mother who is desperate to make the family together instead of the family being in pieces.

Mise-en-scene

PARAGRAPH FOR EKCHIT  In the opening scene of Stranger Things, the mise-en-scène helps show that the story is set in the 1980s and gives it a creepy and mysterious feeling. The characters wear old-fashioned clothes like big jackets and patterned shirts, which shows the time period. The lighting is dark and shadowy, especially in the lab and the woods, which makes everything feel more tense and scary.
