Reception Theory

 

1)  "Preferred" media is the message/ideology/belief the producers want the audience to believe

2) "Oppositional" media is when the consumer takes away an opposite message or belief different to what the producers intended


3) With disgust and/or disliking them as they are portrayed as the villains

4) They might be opposed to the typical "teenager" stereotype as not all teens do crime or misbehave

On one hand, a part of the audience might be in the preferred/dominant group. This is because they might see this advert, and want to go out and try it, for reasons such as because it's new, they simply enjoy fast food or they just find the burger appealing. This group is the type companies/advertisers want. On the other hand, a part of the audience might be in the negotiated group; they probably debating whether or not they should try it, as they think fast food is unhealthy, expensive or not tasty, yet they're persuaded to try it. While they're willing to try the product, it still might be harder for companies/advertisers to appeal towards this group. Lastly, we have the oppositional group. Their reasoning is similar to the negotiated group, except they don't want to try the burger at all. Instead of being persuaded to try it, they would rather eat something else, probably healthier or more tastier. This group is hard for companies/advertisers to appeal to, as they're often not willing to try out said company's new products.

Advertising: Key Connotations

  1)  - The picture of the product and it's contents (Skittles) remind us of what this advert is promoting. - The packing for the sweets is in the middle, with it's slogan under it and loads of Skittles behind it. The Skittles in the background are arranged in a rainbow, referencing it's slogan, "Taste the rainbow". - The background is a cloudy sky, further emphasising the rainbow theme of the sweets. - It's slogan, "Taste the rainbow", refers to the many fruity flavours Skittles has, and how colourful they are. - It's colour scheme is bright red with the frequent use of rainbows; this makes Skittles much more recognisable, and sets up a brand identity. 2) The USP (unique selling point) is the fact that Skittles come in many colours and flavours, allowing you to have a different taste experience from other sweets/candy brands. Many people like Skittles for the many flavours and styles they have available (e.g. Sour Skittles, Tropical Skittles, et...

Paper 1 Assessment Learner Response (October)

  1) WWW: Dyari - a strong response for Q7 on Black Widow. You know the CSPs well in this paper. EBI: Not enough media theory/terminology to develop/extend responses. 2a) Typography - Upper case and bold, sans serif font used; connotations of importance and power 2b) Non-verbal codes - lighting signifies brand identity with logo being displayed as lights 2c) Photographic codes - Long shot signifies/shows power of the rugby player and his determination 3) Propp's character theory - Audrey Hepburn is the "heroine", the chauffeur is the "hero", the bus driver is the "donor" and the fruit cart is the "villain". Torodov's equilibrium theory - Equilibrium is first established in the calm, and peaceful town. Disequilibrium is then shown by the fruit cart stalling Audrey Hepburn's bus. A new equilibrium is established once the chauffeur takes Audrey Hepburn on her journey. 4a) Serif font conveys formality and high class 4b) Use of green colou...

Preliminary exercise feedback and learner response

  1)  WWW: You have displayed some excellent editing and technical skills throughout this preliminary exercise. In particular, the technical editing skills you demonstrated when changing the colour grading and producing match-on-action for the chase which was a requirement for the preliminary exercise brief.  EBI: The biggest improvement needs to be ensuring you film content outside of school to establish the fantasy genre and not limit yourself to filming at school; this will improve the overall quality of your coursework project. The other thing to work on is audio levels. The dialogue was difficult to hear at the end because of the soundtrack being too loud. Most of the feedback in class was complaining about the sound at the end. 2)  WWW: - I have edited the preliminary task very well. - I demonstrated key skills that are essential for the real coursework. - I have met the brief guidelines. EBI: - I need to film scenes outside of school. - I need to work on balan...
