The document describes the ideal target audience for a music video by an unsigned pop/folk artist. The target audience is male, aged 19-30, who would dress casually in jumpers and woolly hats. They prefer indie artists like Adele, Ellie Goulding, Simon and Garfunkel, and Blondie over mainstream pop stars. They also enjoy art-house films for their narratives, camerawork and complex plots.
The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted to understand the target audience's expectations for a music video. 19 responses were received from friends, family and teachers. Most respondents were female aged 16-20, who saw music as important. Respondents wanted an individual style with colorful narrative themes set in nature. While image is important, the music itself and instruments were most important to showcase. An interesting narrative was deemed the main attraction of music videos.
This document discusses different methods used to define target audiences, including demographic profiling, psychographic profiling, and lifestyle groupings. Demographic profiling divides audiences based on attributes like age, gender, socioeconomic status, etc. Psychographic profiling focuses more on individual personality, emotions, and needs. Advertisers have used systems like Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Young and Rubicam's four C's (Mainstreamers, Aspirers, Succeeders, Reformers) to segment audiences based on their motivations and goals. Defining target audiences allows media producers to tailor their messages more effectively.
The generic conventions of magazines contentsJenny McNulty
Magazine contents pages are designed to encourage readers to read further. They use bright colors and visually interesting layouts. Contents pages typically feature the magazine's masthead at the top and include a series of smaller images of celebrities alongside page numbers for each article. However, it is becoming more common to center a large image related to a featured article. The list of articles is grouped under standard section headings. Images on contents pages usually make direct eye contact with readers to engage them, though this page breaks that convention. Non-verbal elements communicate more to audiences than the written words alone.
The generic conventions of magazines coverJenny McNulty
The front covers of magazines aim to attract buyers through eye-catching design elements. They establish a consistent house style through fonts, layout, color, and logos to build brand recognition and loyalty. Covers typically feature a central high-resolution celebrity image looking directly at viewers to create engagement. Additional cover lines advertise internal articles to entice purchases. Dates, prices, and web addresses round out the nonverbal communication on magazine fronts.

The feature article is usually the main draw for readers of a magazine. It should prominently feature celebrities or stars to help boost sales. While the cover price brings in some money, magazines rely primarily on advertising revenue to cover costs since they need large circulation numbers to turn a profit. Feature articles typically take up double page spreads and include a mix of large prominent images along with text and smaller supplemental photos to engage readers and tell the story.

1) Stereotyping is the most common form of representation found in the media, as it provides a simplified version of reality rather than reality itself.
2) Mediation involves selecting and highlighting certain details, stories, and events to represent the world, which often results in stereotypes that exaggerate and generalize entire groups.
3) While stereotypes contain grains of truth, they offer shortcuts to meaning by condensing complex information into easily recognizable characters, but can marginalize and devalue minority groups.

The document discusses the film techniques of mise-en-scene and lighting, which are important visual and technical codes that filmmakers use to convey meaning. It defines mise-en-scene as everything within the frame, including setting, costumes, color palette, characters and their movements. Lighting techniques like three-point lighting, high-key lighting and low-key lighting are also discussed, and how they impact the visual style and mood of a film. Examples are provided of how these techniques are used in specific films to provide information about characters and further the narrative.
1) Media texts are composed of signs, which can have multiple meanings depending on their denotation and connotations.
2) Signs take on dominant meanings when viewed in the context of other signs through codes. Anchorage and cropping are used to guide interpretation of signs.
3) However, signs can still be open to polysemic, or multiple, interpretations depending on a person's cultural and experiential background knowledge. Understanding how signs operate individually and together through codes is important for interpreting media texts.
The document discusses several traditional narrative theories and structures, including those proposed by Tzvetan Todorov, Claude Levi-Strauss, and Vladimir Propp. It also addresses challenges to linear narratives, such as open-ended or non-linear narratives, and discusses how some television shows use multi-strand narratives.
Visual, technical and auditory codes were used to provoke emotional responses in viewers of an excerpt from a modern adaptation of Jekyll and Hyde. These codes included editing, lighting, sound, cinematography, mise en scene elements like costumes and props, performance, color, and special effects. By exploring these codes, viewers can identify the techniques used to cause fear, laughter, and other reactions in a short film extract.
The document discusses the concept of genre in media studies. It defines genre as a type or category of media products that share similar characteristics and conventions. Genres become established through repetition, allowing audiences to develop expectations. Producers then find genres useful as they can follow formulas that have proven popular while also experimenting with new variations, keeping audiences interested through a balance of familiar and unexpected elements.
The document discusses the concept of representation in media. It explains that representation is how media re-presents reality, which is not simply an accurate reflection but a constructed version. Representations are shaped by the decisions of media producers and technical constraints. The media provides a distorted mirror of reality rather than a transparent window. Media texts construct representations by selecting, focusing on, and mediating particular elements of reality through technical and creative choices.
The document discusses different theories around how audiences engage with media texts:
1) Early theories viewed audiences as passive, believing all messages without thinking critically (the "hypodermic needle" effect). This underestimated audiences' abilities.
2) Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding model sees the audience as active - they make their own interpretations depending on factors like identity and opinions. Texts have no set meaning.
3) Reception theory focuses on the audience role in interpreting texts. Hall identified preferred, negotiated, and oppositional readings audiences can have.
4) Later theories see audiences as even more active, selectively engaging with media and picking aspects to incorporate into their identities (the "pick and mix"
The document discusses different theories around how audiences engage with media texts, ranging from passive to active models of consumption. It describes the passive "hypodermic needle" effects theory from the 1920s, which viewed audiences as empty vessels absorbing media messages. More recent theories see audiences as active, such as Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding model where people make their own interpretations based on their experiences. The document also discusses reception theory and the idea that audiences play an active role in how they interpret and make meaning from media texts.
Codes refer to signs like images and sounds that work together to create meaning in media. There are three main categories of codes: visual codes involving color, images, costumes; auditory codes using sound; and technical codes covering production elements like framing, lighting, editing, and effects. Visual codes include color connotations and how positioning of objects creates meaning, like with traffic lights. Auditory codes contribute to meaning through sound. Technical codes cover physical production decisions that shape the meaning of media texts.
This document provides an overview of different types of editing techniques used in media texts. It discusses continuity editing, which is designed to make narratives flow seamlessly through the use of conventions like establishing shots and shot reverse shot. Other techniques mentioned include cross-cutting to create tension, montage to create meaning, and elliptical editing to remove unimportant time. The document also discusses terms like cuts, jump cuts, dissolves, and fades, and how the speed of editing can determine the mood. Examples are provided of editing techniques used in specific movie clips.
The document provides information about media and film-related university courses and careers. It discusses both general media studies degrees and more specialized options like journalism, television and film production, photography, and animation. It also notes the strong job prospects and skills shortages in various media fields. The document gives recommendations for top UK universities for media and advice on gaining relevant experience through extracurricular activities, internships, and developing a portfolio.
Oldboy is a hybrid genre film that incorporates elements of action, romance, comedy, horror, thriller, detective, noir and surrealism. While drawing on multiple genres, it subverts expectations typical of mainstream films. The film breaks conventions of realistic filmmaking through various experimental techniques, including long takes, minimal CGI, camera movement, color use, split screens and close-ups, which call attention to themselves and remind viewers it is constructed. These techniques reinforce themes of complex characters struggling with identity, loss, loneliness and longing.
This document outlines the course details, expectations, and support for a Film Studies class.

Students are encouraged to watch films, read reviews, and keep notes to help themselves succeed.
The introduction and establishment of horror conventionsJenny McNulty
Hammer Film Studios became known for their Gothic horror films from the 1950s-1960s. They were able to successfully produce low-budget horror films for both the UK and US markets for several key reasons: their films offered something new compared to the dominant genres of the time; they dealt with taboo subjects like violence and sex not previously seen; and their Technicolor films stood out against black-and-white television. However, by the late 1960s their style of horror was becoming less popular as audiences tastes changed, and they relied heavily on American financing which was pulling out of the British film industry, leading to the decline of Hammer Studios.
