1.It refers to the creation, production, and distribution of products of a cultural or artistic nature.
2.They tend to be societies that support the conditions where large companies, and their political allies, make money.
3.This is because the cultural industry companies need to continuously compete with each other to secure audience members due to the fact that companies challenge each other.
4.Risky business,creativity vs commerce,high production costs and low production costs and semi public goods [the need to create scarcity].
5.The cultural industry company is reliant on other cultural industry companies to make audiences aware of the existence of a new product or of the uses and pleasure that they might get from experiencing the product.The aim of cultural industries is to stand out and represent different ideas which might be controversial which would result in low profit.
6. I think that media should be about both since when a creator wants to make profit they consider the interest of the audience and the profit motivates the creator to create media with artistic expression that can influence and have an impact on a specific age group.
7.Through vertical integration which is when a media company owns a range of business in the same chain of production or distribution. By keeping their business in the same production there is less risk since they have experience and knowledge on how to make it successful.
8.I think they should be rewarded because many industries play it safe and do not express the right ideologies over fear of losing profits so cultural industries who take that risk of losing profit to benefit the audience and impact them positively should be rewarded.
9. The audience are not that convinced since it is not that realistic or relatable which makes them lose interest.
10. A large company that owns a range of small companies.
11. I do not agree with this statement because in the western nation there have been a lot of media texts that represent diversity by incorporating characters of different cultures getting involved with each others cultures and the characters do not react to this sharing of culture which normalises it.
12.There is a difference in multiplicity,the number of voices and diversity.I think these are the most significant because a larger number of voices and more people stepping up will create a larger impact on the audience and increase profit and by cultural industries becoming more diverse it attracts a variety of audience because it is more repeatable.

public service and broadcasting
1. More people are viewing content in a variety of different ways and more younger adults are watching non PSB content.
2.Between 2015-2016 average viewing of 16-24 year olds decreased by 10 minutes whereas over 64s increased by 2 minutes.
3. yes because the percentage of regular views who are satisfied with PSB has increased from 73 percent to 78 percent.
4.A total of 2.6 billion.
GOLDSMITHS REPORT
1.The proliferation [rapid increase]of channels has reduced the market share of the public service broadcasters.
2. In return for public service broadcasters meeting the conditions of their licence their content should be guaranteed,re transmission fees should be paid by TV pay platforms to PSB,offcom should supplement its occasional reviews of PSB with a regular audit of PSB and offcom should monitor the independent production sector.
3.The BBC is the most important part of TV ecology but its model of universality is under threat due to the case that it is damaging competitors and their licence fee is vulnerable as a result of new technology.
4.The government should replace their licence fee with a more reasonable price, the government should stop making decisions based on the BBC ,the BBC should be reconstituted as a statutory body ,appointments to the new BBC's new unitary board should be independent from the government.
5.Channel 4 occupies a critical place in the public service ecology because it supports the independent production sector and airing content aimed specifically at diverse audience and therefore has been threatened with privatisation.
6. Channel 4 should significantly increase its provision for older children and young adults and . Channel 4 should not be privatised.
7.Television with the characteristics of public service broadcasting now appears outside the public service system however other cultural institutions are providing video content of public service broadcast.
FINAL SERVICE
1.I think the BBC should retain its position because it is quite diverse and has a variety of different content and many categories and still has British tradition instilled in some of the shows which makes it more accessible to any age group or cultural group.
2. BBC has a role in the 21st century because it is quite traditional and helps people stay intact with their traditional views however new streaming service which appeal more to young adults and are cheaper have become more popular and therefore has made the BBC lose some regular TV watchers who do not watch BBC as much anymore since these streaming services circles more around modernity.
3.I think the BBC license fee should be made a lot cheaper because steaming services are a lot cheaper making it more accessible to working class families and therefore adopt a majority audience.

industries ownership and control.
1.Name of media conglomerate- The Walt Disney app.
conglomerate ownership - film, studios, Marvel, Pixar, 20th century fox, blue sky studios ,Disney media park , ESPN, National geography
Vertical integration-marvel and pixar
horizontal integration-ESPN , national and geographic partner.
Synergy- star wars film franchise
diversification- Disney parks and pvr technology.
2.Media conglomerates should be banned by the government due to their dominance and over taking of other small business who have potential to become successful.This overtaking of small business result in low profits since the small business have to give a percentage of the profits to media conglomerates.However, on the other hand media conglomerates benefit small business by funding them with resources that may help them in selling their products. Media conglomerates are usually successful and therefore can advertise the small business products which is beneficial because it can give them more customers and attention which on the whole increases their profits.
MEDIA MAGAZINE READING AND QUESTIONS
1.In the production process the media products desired by the audience are made and also need to take in the interest and preferences of the target audience. In the promotion process the producers have to advertise their media products and research their target audiences to identify methods of advertising that will reach them.In the distribution process , the producers have to use accurate methods to make sure that the products are easily accessible to the audience.
2.Licence fee , public service, sales of music, fees paid by advertisers,programme sponsorship and income from subscriptions
3.One example of a media model company is Marvel who are well known for being associated with the genre of action and superheros. Although consisting of a lot of violence , it has an emotional aspect to it where there are idealistic views showed throughout their films of the weak needing protection. Marvel sticks to their one genre therefore it is clear what will occur in the film and fulfils the expectation of the audience. Another example of a media model company is Hollywood. Hollywood feared losing their audience to television and therefore opened multiple cinemas and created VHS making Hollywood films more accessible to the audience.Another example of a media model company is Spotify which created an online music service so their audience can download music for free with the burden of tolerating adverts and alternatively could pay for Spotify and can listen to music without adverts.
4.The movie industry has invested enormous sums of money into 3D movies, BBC is reconsidering funding structure due increase on now on demand viewings , some online newspapers require the audience to subscribe to access them and advertisers find it hard to access audiences through traditional media therefore have to use social media mining.
5.Amazon, Facebook, google and yahoo.
6.I do agree with this view because traditional media institutions are losing customers due to the reformation of technology and the advancement of it. Therefore they have to resort to different measures such as social media mining to advertise their products which conflicts with their usual methods of promotion and may not be as good at it due to their inexperience and lack of knowledge of the modern world of technology.
7.Vertical integration is beneficial for companies since expanding in the same branch of media will help the company succeed in their profits since they are experienced and have the resources and knowledge to advertise it. Diversification on the other hand, allows media companies to explore within different categories and gives them access to many other companies consisting of other categories.
8.I think in the future audiences will be submissive to media conglomerates since most audiences do not necessarily like the product but prior to their advertisements their products become a trend and audiences follow the crowd. Some media products manipulate audiences and make them loyal to their products therefore if their product is not up to good standards the audience will still buy it giving the media conglomerates more profit.

audience theory 2
1. I think the media plays a big part in shaping the views and ideas of different people. When the media normalises violence, such as drill songs and advertsises knives violence is being 'glorified' which creates a big impact on the audience.Drug dealers and drill rappers often glance their money and success in that industry on apps such as instagram which creates idealistic views that violence and rebellion is an easy way to be successful and proceed to follow it. The media also pardons a lot of white school shooters and label them as 'mentally disturbed' and don't proceed to punish them for their crimes which encourages other children to do it knowingly that they won't have to face consequences.
2. In this digital age the access to media is really easy making influence a big threat. Many people look up to the Kardashians infatuatedlifestyle and therefore copy their image by getting plastic surgery or changing their syleof clothing to appeal to the 'norms' of society and fit into the ideal image of what a female should look like which is created by influencers and models. Many influencers have partnerships or collabs with companies such as Amber Rose gills who recently did a club with Misspap and has influenced thousands of fans to purchase their clothing collection not because their necessarily adore the clothing but more to do with the fact thats she was advertising it.
3. IN 1999 there was a moral panic that the world would end since a new millennium was starting. People believed it really quickly and went to the extent of preparing for her death. Many claims similar to this have rised again but people dont believe it anymore and have learnt to not believe everything they see on the internet. In 2001, the event of 9\11 created a lot of controversy amongst society as a whole. It led to the uprising of Islamophobia which caused a lot of conflict and lead to racial attacks and slander. This chain of Islamophobia continues until today portraying how some views are not dependent on just the media anymore.
5. I think the certain content on the media should be regulated and restricted based on how influential young teenagers are and how negative content can shape their future. Different age groups should not be exposed to certain content for example older age groups shouldn't be exposed to content that is meant for teenagers because it can create conflict within a parent and child and young teenagers shouldn't be exposed to certain media due to of how weak their capacity to be influenced is.
6.Heavy internet use is becoming more of a problem since its affection how we interact in society as a whole. The media creates a facade by showing what they want to create a certain image of a social group and not show the good side to it.By doing this , they audience will interpret that this specific social group should be feared and act towards them accordingly. This includes bullying in school or isolation which has an affect on those individuals who are hurt due to the portrayal of them in the media. Many people who watch Shane Dawson conspiracy theories also become fearful of many things just based on his claims but because of his videos are set up it is more believable. It's just a alternative method of making profits in the industry although the audience do not realise this factor.
Fact sheet
1.I dont watch violent video games and i am not violent in real life because i am a pacifist .
2.The advert of McDonald advertising their merchandise of food which encourages me to go buy it.
3.I watched a documentary based on the poverty in Africa which has drawn my attention of the coverage of these issues in media that is structured in a particular way to make people unaware of this issue.
2.direct effect theories
indirect effect theories
diffusion theory
pluralist approach
3. The Columbine high school shootings.
4.It was a school shooting and bombing that killed 12 students and 1 teacher.
5.The license for guns and making it easier to get them and the isolation of certain teenagers that make them resort to these measures.
6.Through repetition ideas attitudes and values are normalised and people become desentisied to negative representations.
7.They are quite general and created a certain way so audience can understand it.
8.It makes simplified judgements.
9.Love thy neighbour is controversial because its based on old school socialist thoughts and does not refer to the racial attitudes towards each other in society.
10.the dominant reading
o an acceptance of the intended meaning
• a negotiated reading
o a broad acceptance of the intended meaning but with
some personal modification
• an oppositional reading
o an understanding of the intended meaning but a rejection of it in favour of one created by the individual.

audience theory blog task 1
1.diversion-
1.Just as stated in the hypodermic needle model the violent video games that the university students are playing are "injecting" aggressive behaviour into them.
2.The heading makes it seem as if violent games are trendy and "cool" since it gives children the ability to hack people although these two factors are not interlinked.
Two step flow model
1.The two step flow model suggests that the audience are influenced by opinion leaders in the media. The two step flow model is still relevant since there are many influencers on Instagram and YouTube which is where the different trends and ideologies descend from.
2. MANNY MUA influences his fans to accept and normalise men wearing makeup which has inspired other male youtubers such as James Charles to proceed with wearing makeup and breaking social boundaries.
3. This telegraph feature fits the two step flow model because it influences the audience to follow certain influencers on twitter that fits ideology of the modern era which helps the audience stay up to date with the new trends and ideas to create a more restricted social group.
4.Jamal fits the two step flow model since he is the "influencer" who influences the audience that being a rapper is an easy way to get money and may drive them away from education. He does not include the struggle to become a successful rapper and portrays it as an easy pathway and process which will influences his younger audience who are still in education to drop it.
dependency theory
1. Audiences have become dependent on media . An example is the kardashians who many people look up to for many makeup and clothing trends.
2.Phones have become more developed making it easier to access the media from any location and then the age rates for social media has decreased making it easier for a younger audience to be easily influenced.
3.When i see a post that is hating on someone it makes me feel bad and angry at how they are being treated and affects my mood for the whole day.Overall it has a positive effect on me since it makes me laugh a lot which reflects my mood for the day.
Uses and gratification theory
1.
This is an example of diversion because it is fiction that does not include any daily life matters and has more action.
2.This an example of personal relationships since the media text incorporates emotion and romance.
3.This an example of personal identity because this could help audience see if they relate to their casts preferences in dating.
This is an example of surveillance because it provides us with information about the weather.

Migrain October assessment
1. WWW-A brilliant first assessment attempt it is clear to see you have a genuine strength in this subject.Please continue to attempt all work/homework to achieve your minimum target grade or even exceed this . Your response to analysing the "ill manors" and "Nike Adverts" was solid.
EBI-Revise genre theory include more subject terminology theories to gain marks.
2. I didn't critically engage the aspects of the narratives.
3.I didn`t back up the theory with an explanation.
4.I could've incorporated the names of the media theorists.
5.My strongest answer was number 1 with a total of 15 marks. I did better on this question due to it being based mainly on free flowing analysis which is my strongest area.
6.My weakest answer is question 3 due to my lack of expanding on the theories I included and explaining it further. I also shouldve incorporated subject terminology theory needed.
7. Genre is not something that can be culturally learned for example, alphabets and numbers.It is rather in constant change and repetition therefore it mediates between audience and media producers. This is supported by Buckingham who claims that 'genre is a dynamic.' Schatz explains the cycle that genre codes go through that makes it repetitive and unable to be culturally learned. Firstly, the genre code is established.Next it is repeated (classical) and then it is mocked by the audience and finally it is deconstructed so the genre code is experimented with and creates conventions. Genre is important for the audience since Abercrombie states that genre creates a loyal audience that is committed to watching films of a specific genre which is beneficial in an economic sense. The audiences own personal preferences on what genres they watch are portrayed throughout the film which is a significant factor to take note off so the target audience is more vivid.

audience classification
I am working with Faisa.
My psycho graphic group is Aspirers.

narrative
1.arrow is an example of this since Oliver[main character] returns to the safety of his home after being missing for years so there is a state of existing harmony and then there is a disequilibrium when the man who killed his father attacks him and so he acts as a vigilante and kills him causing a new state of equilibrium and the conflict is over.
2.The opening scene of river dale begins with the camera zooming into the sheriffs office and describes it as "innocent" indicating that the plot is gonna be involving a crime that may get the police involved. As the camera zooms into the road sign the narrator mentions how "there are shadows" and that this small town is not what its portrayed to be. The cut of the scene that does not show what happened to the twin creates a more dramatic effect and mystery. The gloomy and dark atmosphere also creates an ominous effect and creates more suspense. The narrator uses enigma codes in his narrative when describing the incident of the missing twin to hold our attention and not give too much away.
3. Stranger Things is an example since Hopper [the sheriff] saved a child from the a demo-gorgon which is a supernatural monster, pretty little liars since the detective saves them from their stalker , The vampire diaries since Stefan saves them from the devils fire by dying for his friends.
4.In pretty little liars Spencer comes from a high class family that is well off financially however she marries Toby who has a criminal record and descends from a working class family.
5.Dominant values are portrayed which is mainly influenced by our culture.
6.The enigma code controls how much information the audience are given to hold our interest which creates mystery and the action code creates events that are important to the lead up of the resolution.
7.episodic narrative- plot that can be resolved in one episode.
overarching narrative-a situation that conforms to an overreaching set of aims.
mixed narrative-focus on different parts of the complex narrative
multi strand narrative- more than one narrative running through parallel to the narrative with more than one character and location.
8.Often adverts offer a problem [ bad breath ] and then a resolution [toothpaste] to buy their product to get good breath

reception theory
In the coco pops advertisement , the creator intention is to create a fun and tasty cereal for children so that they will enjoy having breakfast in the morning since its the most important meal of the day.However there was a lot of controversy within the advert of this product. Many people wanted this advert banned since it violated the terms of advertising junk food to the children. They saw this advert as a facade that increases rate of obesity causing health problems. Many fathers interpreted this advert as sexist due to the 'mothers approved' logo. The creator however was trying to portray a positive product that was maternal friendly.
In the sixty cents advert, many people saw this advert as promoting a gang and criminal lifestyle. Many people assumed he was glorifying criminals due to the background of hand prints that are usually taken when your being admitted to prison.

| There is contrast between the dark background of fifty cent and the light grey background of the hand print . The dark background portrays a sense of a sinister and dangerous side of fifty cent. The lighting does not really outline the features of fifty cents rather focuses on his dress of clothing and props such as his chains which is usually compared to criminals which hints a criminal persona. The white font is really bold which creates an effect on the audience that makes them focus on the white font. His background is empty space which initiates that he is the an important figure since the setting allows the focus to be on him. |
In this coco pops advert , there are many vibrant and bright colours which portrays the positivity of the product.The setting is quite faded whereas the camera focuses on the coco pops box which portrays its importance. The colours are mainly contrasted whereas the coco pops and the monkey are different colours but still contrast with each other. High key lighting is used to define the coco pops and also cast shadows on the background. An apple is purposely put next to it since it compares the healthy fruit to the unhealthy coco pops to target a young audience who will view the coco pops as more appealing than the apple.
