Theory - audience
The document discusses several audience profiles for different types of media content:
- A superhero action film aimed at teenage boys and adult male comic fans.
- An adult comedy targeting male and female adults ages 24-44.
- An animated comedy for children ages 0-14 and their families.
It also covers topics like the hypodermic needle effect of propaganda films during WWII, how media can provide information and help personal identity and social interaction, and entertainment and escapism through media. Consumer generated content is discussed as a way for media producers to expand their audience and make money, while the audience generates content to potentially become famous or share their lives.
Audience profiling
The document describes the target audience for a thriller film as male students aged 15-23 from socio-economic groups D and E in the UK and parts of Europe. They likely live at home, have part-time jobs, and enjoy social media, gaming, and thrillers while disliking romance and clichéd storylines. The film aims to appeal to their tastes in sophisticated yet gory media content consumed via devices like smartphones and online platforms like YouTube and Netflix.

4. proposal(3)
This proposal outlines a sidescrolling zombie killing arcade game called "Zombie Kill!" intended to entertain males aged 7-20. The player controls a survivor scavenging through levels filled with increasing numbers of zombies, rescuing other survivors along the way. Gameplay involves clicking to shoot and using arrow keys to move while navigating obstacles. The game aims to appeal to loyal, community-oriented "Belongers" and those seeking different strategies through relatable characters and impactful decision-making. Potential issues include violence appealing to young audiences and a lack of character diversity. These will be addressed through a cartoon art style and optional character customization. Original materials and gameplay distinguish the project from existing zombie games.
Herding Cats Doesn't Begin to Describe It: Reflections on 20 Years of the IGDA
Twenty years ago, in the middle of a firestorm of criticism against video games caused by the release of Mortal Kombat, Ernest Adams asked several influential friends to help him set up a professional society for game developers. He didn't want it to be a union or a trade association, and he knew it would be a tough sell because game developers are some of the most libertarian, contrarian, independent and downright unsociable people on the planet. Today, Ernest takes a wry and humorous look back over the 20-year history of the International Game Developers Association with reflections on what went wrong, what went right, how in some ways it has exceeded his wildest dreams, and why we need it now more than ever.
FINAL PROJECT
Social media has democratized film criticism by allowing everyday people to publish their reviews and opinions online. This has reduced the influence of traditional print critics and introduced a wider range of perspectives. However, some user-generated reviews can lack quality. Meanwhile, respected critics like Roger Ebert have embraced social media and fostered discussion by engaging online readers. Overall, social media provides another outlet for film criticism but high-quality analysis is still valued by many consumers.
Unit 2: Audience
This document discusses audience profiles and theories for several movies and media properties. It analyzes the primary and secondary target audiences for Iron Man 3 (teenagers and adults aged 16-40), The Lego Movie (children aged 6-12 and teenagers/adults aged 13-40), and Love Actually (girls aged 16-40 and their boyfriends/husbands aged 16-40). It also defines the hypodermic needle theory in media and explores various uses and gratifications of media like games, including information, personal identity, social interaction, and entertainment. Finally, it discusses the advantages of consumer generated content for media producers and motivations for audiences to generate their own content.
Screenplay - Morgan James Ryan Raoul
1) The document is a screenplay that tells the story of Edmund killing his friend Matthew. It begins by showing Edmund and Matthew arguing in a car together.
2) The story then cuts to 6 months later, where Edmund's friend James is at Edmund's house. James notices Edmund wearing Matthew's watch.
3) Through a series of flashbacks, it is revealed that Edmund murdered Matthew. The screenplay builds tension as James realizes the truth about Edmund and fears for his own safety.

Question 2
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in media products. It notes that those interested in social media and gaming/sci-fi films are enthusiastic about virtual worlds and hype online. Those focused on sports may be less inclined to sit indoors watching movies unless the film greatly interests them in its portrayal of sports. The ideal audience is described as keeping up with trends, enjoying some sports but also thrilling films, and staying informed on social media about new releases.
Unit 26 me and my movies
This document discusses several concepts related to how audiences engage with and experience horror films. It explains that there are three ways audiences can respond to a film - preferred, negotiated, or oppositional. It also discusses intertextuality in media, how references are made between different works. Additionally, it outlines how media literacy allows audiences to engage with multiple formats of the same property, and how social networking helps films advertise more affordably and reach key demographics. Finally, it notes that conditions of reception, like reviews, can shape audience expectations, and that pre and post viewing experiences particularly impact reactions to horror films.
Audience participatory
The document discusses different types of audience responses and engagement with media, including participatory, cultural competence, and fan culture responses. Participatory responses involve interacting with and providing feedback about media through reviews, comments, and forums. Cultural competence refers to understanding the symbols and styles of different cultures represented in various genres of media like music. Fan culture describes audiences that create additional stories, remixes, and adaptations based on existing media properties, helping to spread awareness and build communities.
Typical audiences
This document analyzes and compares the interests and media consumption habits of three target audiences for a film:
1) The "mainstream" audience of ravers, townies, chavs, etc. would likely be interested in the film due to relating to the girl characters' clothing and hearing about it through word of mouth on Facebook or the trailer on YouTube.
2) The "alternative" audience of gamers, emos, etc. are very online and may hear about the film through word of mouth or the trailer on YouTube and Facebook. They are also regular cinema-goers.
3) The "leading edge" audience of hipsters, geeks, etc. have high internet and

Unit VI Discussion Board Question
Minimum 200 words
Perhaps one of the most impactful and interesting ideas that social psychology proposes is that we are not just impacted by the influence of “real” people. In a world where we interact with others through media, this becomes very relevant.
In recent years, we have all seen reports in the news regarding the potential negative impact that playing video games can have on children and adolescents. However, some researchers would argue that it is not the video game itself, but the content and themes of the video game that can lead to an increase in anti-social behaviors (e.g., aggression, violence) or pro-social behaviors (e.g., altruism, helping).
Do you think that interacting with “imaginary” persons—like those in a video game-- has any impact on our real-life social behaviors? What is your personal interaction with any type of violent media (e.g., games, movies, news)? Discuss the positive/negative effects of exposure to violent media.
Side note: Take for example when the first Exorcist movie came out. There were reports of people fainting in theaters and incidences in which an ambulance had to be called. Why do these types of movies not illicit the same reaction in this era?

Week 12 pro-forma audiences & products (1)
This document discusses various theories related to audiences and media consumption. It defines passive consumption as audiences simply accepting media messages without response. The hypodermic needle model suggests audiences will immediately believe anything in media. Active consumption is when audiences interact with and influence media. Uses and gratifications theory explains why audiences consume media for information, identity, social integration, and entertainment. Reception theory looks at how audiences interpret encoded media messages based on their own experiences and decoding. Spectatorship theory examines how audiences make meaning based on their social, cultural, private, and desiring selves. Different frameworks can lead to varied interpretations of the same media. The document uses these theories to analyze audiences' interactions with the Alien film franchise.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
