The document discusses audiences for films and how they are defined, categorized, and analyzed. It notes that audiences are important for commercial success and profitability. It also describes how technology has led to audience fragmentation as people can now view films in many different ways. Film producers conduct research to understand who comprises their audiences so they can best target their marketing. This includes using demographics like age, income, and gender, as well as psychographics about lifestyle and personality. Test screenings can also provide feedback to potentially alter a film.
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.
What is mass media research? Describe the development of mass media research....Md. Sajjat Hossain
Research is a systematic inquiry to describe, explain, predict, and control the observed phenomenon. The main purpose of research is to inform action, to prove a theory, and contribute to developing knowledge in a field or study according to the scientific method. Research can be about anything but the important thing for all researchers to understand is the correct methods to follow and to ensure the best results.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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 Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. What is an audience?
An audience is a group of people who view,
listen or consume a speech, performance or
work of art.
For example a television audience would be the
people viewing the programming at home. The
audience for a radio show would be the listeners
who have tuned in. The audience for a film are
the cinema goers or the people watching the
film on their televisions or other electronic
devices.
3. Why are audiences
important?
Film producers seek to make a profit. If a film
doesn’t attract an audience it will be a commercial
failure.
The audience for a film is measured by its box office
receipts.
Profit = Box office receipts – Production costs
The size of a film’s profit margin is more important
than the size of its box office.
Therefore a film made for $1,000,000 that makes
$25,000,000 can be considered more successful
than a film made for $100,000,000 that makes
$120,000,000.
4. What is the impact of new
technology on audiences?
In the early days of film the only way people
could view a film was at the cinema.
With the advent of television people could finally
watch films in the comfort of their own home.
With the invention of videotapes and VCRs
people could watch films at home whenever it
suited them.
Nowadays with the internet, iPads, smartphones
and various other devices people are able to
watch movies on the go.
6. Audience Fragmentation
In the past there were relatively few ways for people to
view a film. With today’s technology people are viewing
films in numerous different ways all over the world. There
are more TV channels and internet streaming sites than
ever before so it has become increasingly hard for film
producers to target large numbers of people.
7. Why categorise audiences?
Film producers want to know who to market their
films to. The more information they have about
different audiences the better they can target
them. They use quantitative research (eg.
statistical information) and qualitative research
(eg. opinions) to build up a picture of their
audience.
8. Mass vs. Niche Audience.
Mass marketing is when a product is marketed to
the largest possible group of people. Niche
marketing involves marketing to a smaller
selective group. Mass marketing is expensive
and if the product only appeals to a small
number of people then much of that money will
be wasted. However a film that only appeals to a
small audience is unlikely to garner a huge profit.
The films with the largest budgets are the ones
considered most likely to appeal to a Mass
Audience. Independent and art house
companies have less money and are more likely
to seek a Niche Audience for their films.
9. How audiences can impact
films.
During the studio era a film’s audience was found
after the film was made. After the studio system
broke down Hollywood sought ways of ensuring
their films would be financially successful. They
conducted market research before films were
even made and test screened the finished films to
select audiences.
The audience reaction at a test screening could
influence filmmakers, inspiring them to re-cut the
film or even shoot additional footage.
10. The ending to the film Blade Runner (1982) was significantly altered as audiences found it
too downbeat. This was in spite of the fact of the new ending completely disregarding
facts that had been established earlier in the film. A voiceover narration was also added
much to the chagrin of star Harrison Ford. There are now five versions of the film available
on DVD including the Original Theatrical Cut, 1991 Director’s Cut, The Workprint and The
Final Cut.
Alternate Endings.
11. Notes from a test screening
of Videodrome (1983).
12. Media Research Agencies
NRS: Established in 1956 The National Readership
Survey provides audience research for
advertising in the UK.
ABC: The Audit Bureau of Circulations are an
independent authority that verify media data
and standards.
BARB: The Broadcasters’ Audience Research
Board was established in 1981to measure
television audiences in Britain.
13. What is audience profiling?
Film producers use audience profiling to create
easily identifiable groups which they can target
more effectively with advertising and
merchandise. Interviews, focus groups, surveys
and empirical studies are used to study the
opinions of their audience. They also use
demographics and psychographics to analyze
their audience.
14. Demographics
Demographics are one way film producers define
their audience. It is the statistical study of human
beings. Using demographics audiences can be
divided by their:
Income
Age
Gender
Race
Location
16. Psychographics
Psychographics is another way of categorising audiences.
The information obtained can be cross-referenced with
demographics. Psychographics can include:
Social class
Lifestyle
Personality characteristics
Attitudes
Interests
Values
Behaviour
