Nice and straightforward lesson to round off this second week of me not being there!
You will be revising and practicing audience theory. Remember, no mater what question comes up, audience theory can be used to boost your answer and help you to explore how audiences interact with media products!
Making a poster
This seems a bit silly, but it's great revision! Use paper, Photoshop, MS Paint, MS Word or absolutely any means you wish to create an interesting and informative poster describing one of the following theories. Remember, you can find all the theories on the theories tab on this very blog. That's handy!
Stuart Hall: reception theory
or
Henry Jenkins: theories surrounding fandom
Then, pick one scene from the Drive. It cannot be the scene you picked last lesson...
Your poster must cover the following information:
- Basic outline of the theory, suitable for a year 9 to be able to understand
- Detailed rundown of theory (eg for Hall, define preferred, negotiated and oppositional readings)
- Explicit examples from Humans. Find the key scenes in your Drive, and pick one to find examples from!)
- Target audience: who is the target audience for this
- Audience appeal: how does this scene from Humans ensure appeal to it's target audience?
If you are in G20, you can check out the posters on the wall for examples of what you could be doing!
