The document discusses several theories related to audience for media texts, including:
- The importance of considering the target audience for a media product's message and commercial success.
- Using demographic research to define and profile the target audience.
- How the filmmaker will use elements like culture, genre, soundtrack, camera shots to appeal to and engage their target psychological thriller audience.
- Uses and gratification theory which examines why audiences seek out certain media and what needs it fulfills, positioning audiences as active rather than passive consumers.
- Hall's encoding/decoding model of how audiences can have preferred, negotiated, or oppositional readings of a media text.
An introduction to what an audience is, how this relates to media studies and why audiences are important. Presentation talks about categorisation, audience fragmentation, the impact of new technology and links to help support your learning.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Andreas Schleicher presents at the OECD webinar ‘Digital devices in schools: detrimental distraction or secret to success?’ on 27 May 2024. The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

2. Why the target audience
for media is important
•The media industry is highly competitive and all media texts are
created with a target audience in mind.
•If the producers of a film do not consider the audience it may not be
successful either in getting its message across or, if it is a commercial
media text, making money for the producers.
•Media producers use audience research and analysis to find out as
much as possible about their target audience and make sure research
to ensure production will appeal to them.
3. Demographic Audience
Profile and D1 Scale
•This defines groups based upon age, gender, income, education,
occupation and types of media that an audience consumes.
•This is so the producers can direct their product to a specific target
group.
4. How I am considering my
audience in my film opening
How I will consider my audience for the film opening:
Culture - the cultural aspect of the location I am shooting it. As well as respecting
the people the culture as they are part of the target audience.
The target audience e.g. age group -because of genre on my film which is
psychological thriller. I need to consider how to appeal to an older audience than
myself. The ways I plan to do this are Sound track - the sound track will
construct a deeper sense of the genre in my film opening.Camera shots - the
camera shots I plan to use will be creative to work as a title sequence and film
opening to engage the audience in my media product. They will provide a visual
benefit towards my audience as different angles of the opening will be presented.
I will use the visuals to create meaning for the audience, this will communicate
messages of narrative and genre for my film opening to reach a global audience.
5. Uses and Gratification
Audience Theory
Uses and gratification theory seeks to understand why people seek out the
media that they do and what they use it for. UGT differs from other media
effect theories in that it assumes that individuals have power over their
media usage, rather than positioning individuals as passive consumers of
media. UGT explores how individuals deliberately seek out media to fulfil
certain needs or goals such as entertainment, relaxation, or socialising. This
is a approach to understanding mass communication.
This theory focuses on:
1. consumer
2. audience
• Uses and gratification theory can be seen in personal music selection.
6. Technical and Audio codes
•Camera angles, shots and movement used in a TV programme or film
all help to make it more engaging for the audience.
•Technical Codes: Camera angles, Lighting, Editing
1. Shots
2. Camera movement
3. Editing
4. The pace of the text
5. Lighting
6. Mise-en-Scene
•Audio Codes: Sound, Diegetic, Non-diegetic
7. Sound - diegetic and non diegetic
8. Ambient noise
9. Voice over
10.Music
7. Audience Reception Theory
by Stuart Hall
• This theory explored how people make sense of media texts and
claimed audiences were active not passive. The media texts are
encoded by the producer which means they send the message. The
text can be received in three ways:
• Preferred Reading
• Negotiated Reading
• Oppositional Reading
8. Preferred Reading: This is when audiences
respond to the product the way media producers
want/expect them to.
Negotiated Reading: This is when a member of
the audience partly agrees with part of the
product .e.g Film, documentary, TV programme.
Oppositional Reading: This is when the audience
are in complete disagreement with the product’s
message or setting.
