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.

It has been done in this way to presumably give more of a focus on their dialogue and actions in a more dramatic and serious sense, as it is a TV drama. Mise-en-scene: The scenarios shown in this episode are quite gloomy, historic and lonely. The city, which is the location where the majority of the episode takes place, is quite empty, abandoned and old looking. The characters here also look quite nervous and/or always on alert, considering the setting they're in. Narrative and genre: The episode focuses on a city in the sky in which its inhabitants either fled or had their souls stolen by "Spectres", which means the city is very empty and is only really filled with children/teens. The episode also focuses on other worldly creatu
