Audience

I believe that the media is equally controlled by the adience and the producer as without ever of them the media would not be what we not of today. I don't believe that the media can funtion properly with out the adience as they would not have a foused adience which means they would not get the money they need to work properly. However they could always work just not in the way we know it.I believe that the media does control the audience as without media a lot of people would not know what to do and feel panic about the loss of media.
For audience we use the Uses and Gratification theory
This was created by Blumer and Katz. It focuses on NOT what the media does to people but what people do with the media. They are five main reasons people use media they are:

• Information
• Education
• Entertainment
• Social Interaction
• Escapism

In class today we learnt about the role of the audience on the film industry. We were asked asked the following questions.
What do we mean when we use the word "film"?
The film is the plastic tape that the movies use to be saved on.
Do you think it means the same as the word "movie"?
No, these words are different as the word movie means the product the audience sees.
And what about the word "cinema"?
I believe that this is just the building were the audience watches the movies.

My view on my favourite films
I believe that most of my films are light hearted and feel good films. All the films I love have females as main characters. All my films are about teenagers and young adults. Most of the films are also set in schools. I believe I like these films as I am in school so can recognise ideas in all the films that are similar to my life. I also watch films to relax so none of my favourite films have very serious themes as I use films for escapism.
