Blog Lerner Response

 WWW- Really good level of detail in your learner response to the previous blog feedback - excellent use of feedback to move forward. Your blog looks lovely and is well organised with attention to keeping it all looking good. 

EBI- You are being a bit too efficient and not developing your answers in enough detail! Don't aim to get the work done quickly, aim to push yourself to give specific detail about the products you are analysing.
LR- Missing the Reception Theory task so make sure it is a full paragraph with lots of detail and you look at preferred, negotiated and oppositional readings with evidence. Do the Beyonce re-write for your Learner Response for your recent assessment.

Audience Effects Theory

  1) Write a definition of a   passive  audience:  An audience that is exposed to media/marketing material but doesn't actively engage with the content or messaging . 2)  Write a definition of an  active  audience:  Active is  when an audience is engaging, interpreting, and responding to media messages and are able to question the message .  3) Write a definition of the  hypodermic needle  theory:  The Hypodermic Needle theory is  a linear  communication theory  which suggests that a media message is injected directly into the brain of a passive, homogeneous audience .  4) Write down a  media product  (e.g. TV show, newspaper or video game)   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:  The Times newspaper  > Why: It tells audiences important information about politics, the world and more.

Introduction to Music Video: Blog tasks

 1) What are the key conventions of music video? The most general codes and conventions within music videos include: The style (performance, concept, narrative) The camera. The editing techniques (transitions, fast, slow) 2) What is intertextuality? Media intertextuality, by definition, seeks and theorises links and connections between media texts and textualised social life while global media discourse analysis shows how the globalised political economy of late capitalism influences the content and format of a wide range of media products. 3) When did music videos first become a major part of the music industry? By the late 1980s, 97% of songs on the Billboard music chart had accompanying videos and the US record industry alone was spending upwards of $150 million per year on their production. 4) What launched in 1981 and why  were music videos an important part of the music industry in the 1980s and 1990s?

Film Industry: Black Widow notes

  Conglomerate Most major media companies are conglomerates that own a range of smaller companies (called subsidiaries). An example of this is Disney owning Marvel. Vertical integration Vertical integration is when one conglomerate owns different companies in the same chain of production. E.g Disney owns film studios, CGI specialists, film distributors and TV channels such as the Disney Channel. This gives Disney the chance to make money at every stage of production. Complete ownership = more profit. Horizontal integration Horizontal integration is when one company buys other companies at the same level of distribution. E.g Facebook acquired Instagram in 2012 (at a cost of $1 billion) so that they could cancel out the competition by making money from both. Horizontal integration allows companies to widen their audience and find other ways to make money. Convergence, branding and synergy  Convergence refers to the way we can now access everything about a film - reviews, trailers and eve
