audience effects theory

 


1) Write a definition of a passive audience: an audience that accepts messages within a piece of media without challenge

2) Write a definition of an active audience: an audience that engages and responds to media in different ways and can challenge it

3) Write a definition of the hypodermic needle theory: that audiences are passive and will accept anything injected into their mind

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: 

INFORMATION/SURVEILLANCE: Media text - The Times newspaper
 > Why: It tells audiences important information about politics, the world and more.
PERSONAL IDENTITY: Arsenal FC (football)  
 > Why:  because its been a part of me since i was a kid .

DIVERSION/ENTERTAINMENT: Rainbow 6 Siege
 > Why: A very fun game that makes me feel like a member of the millitary
RELATIONSHIPS:Kanye West
 > Why: My favourite artist and i am following his journey through mental health issues and patiently waiting for his albums even though they are neveer on time

When all the kids are leaving the house the porch light flashes which could be an omen to say something is about to happen, nearly a minute later, a kids bike light flashes,after that he falls and is hunted and caught  b...

  In the image i can see a young boy who looks very frustrated and tired with a caption saying “Dig toilets, not graves” The possible deeper meaning to this is most likely being to tell people that children are dying because of poor sanitation in certain areas. The advert communicates to the audience that they could help save people with their donations.An audience could react in many different ways some examples being that they help the child by donating to water aid, they could feel bad for the people but not do anything, or just not care at all depending on the audience This is an advert for Coca cola which is a billboard that shows a temperature next to the words “[blank] reasons to refresh yourself”The advert is relying on the temperature which is 102 degrees fahrenheit(very hot) to say that if its hot you would need a refreshment that refreshment being coke.This may cause a person seeing this advert want coke due to th heat which symobolizes that its a good drink for when its...
