It depicts the two main characters, undercover cops Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, dressed in prom attire but holding guns to suggest their false teenage identities. The use of colors, positioning of characters, and tagline "the only thing getting blown tonight is their cover" help establish the comedy genre and tease the plot. The poster aims to attract different audiences by appealing to fans of the actors and teenagers with cultural references like prom.
Video Games And Representation
Video games often use simplistic or outdated representations of gender and ethnicity that reinforce stereotypes. Analyzing the narrative structures and character types in games using models like Vladimir Propp's can provide insights into how different groups are portrayed. While Propp's character archetypes fit the formulaic nature of many game narratives, they may not apply to open-ended or multiplayer online games where player agency is higher. Issues of representation are important to examine in both story-driven and multiplayer games.
My evaluation question twoo
The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a main documentary product with two ancillary texts: a double page spread and radio trailer. It states they were asked to make the ancillary products look professional and link to the documentary's theme of bullying. Images used in the double page spread and documentary help represent the isolation of victims and ignorance of bullies. Research led them to publish the double page spread in The Times due to its factual style. A female narrator and melancholy background sounds were used in the documentary. Radio 1 was chosen to air the radio trailer to appeal to a wide audience aged 16-21 and advertise the documentary.

- The Daily Telegraph article provides more detail and quotes from the trial using formal language aimed at an older, niche audience. It presents both sides more neutrally without shock factors to allow readers to form their own opinions.
- Both publications are owned by News Corp but have different targets and agendas - The Sun seeks to influence opinions while the Telegraph informs without obvious bias.

How does your media product represent particular social
The media product uses some stereotypes to quickly establish roles and provide context. In the opening scene, gang members are shown wearing hoodies to imply their involvement in suspicious activities. This stereotype, while clichéd, aims to add clarity. The portrayal of a boy and his friend also relies on stereotypes to convey they are ordinary teens, such as references to popular teen culture and gaming. The bedroom setting furthers this stereotype by suggesting a normal atmosphere.
Audience profile
The document discusses the target audience for a film project, analyzing demographics like age, gender, and ethnicity. It aims to appeal to adults ages 18-40 of all races and both genders. For age, younger audiences may find it too serious while older audiences could relate to themes. For gender, men may be drawn to conspiracy/action elements while women to the emotional journey of the female protagonist. For ethnicity, featuring diverse characters of many races aims to appeal to all backgrounds.

3) Placement of cover lines and stories emphasizes Bond as the main attraction without distracting from other important pieces like one on Michael Jackson.

The (net)work of mourning
Emotional contagion, viral performativity,
and the death of David Bowie
Peta Mitchell, Axel Bruns, Felix Victor Münch
Queensland University of Technology, Australia
In this paper, we examine the networked spread of mass mourning on Twitter in the wake of David Bowie’s death in January 2016. We focus on a corpus of 6.3 million tweets containing the keyword ‘Bowie’, collected using the Twitter Capture and Analysis Toolkit (TCAT) over 15 days following the confirmation of Bowie’s death (from 7.12 am GMT on 11 January to 5.48 am GMT on 26 January). By examining how particular mourning practices and mourning artifacts (e.g., images, links) spread across and through the network after Bowie’s death, we will map in a more refined way the dynamics of emotional contagion around this particular instance of mass-mourning, and suggest ways that this method of analysis adds to existing understandings of mediated celebrity death and public grief.

Based on the survey results, Emily will feature Panic! At The Disco on the front cover and My Chemical Romance inside her magazine.
Target audience.
The document discusses the target audience for a superhero film. The target age range is identified as 12-40 years old, but the document specifies aiming for late teens from 16-19 years old. This younger audience would understand any romance elements, while still being accessible to 12-year olds with limited swearing and violence. Both males and females from 12 to late twenties are targeted, but the film is expected to appeal more to males due to its violent and action-filled content. The target audience is meant to be reasonably open, ranging from 12 years old up to adults, to capture various demographic and genre fans.

Q2
The document discusses how a media product represents social groups through its characters. It introduces two main characters, a male and female, where initially the male seems dominant wearing a suit but by the end the female "comes out better". It aims to attract a wider female audience who make up 60% of viewers of the genre. While the male wears a suit suggesting middle-class status, the female wears a hoodie suggesting lower-class status, but their reactions in the same situation are analyzed differently. Facial expressions of the male character could suggest he thinks he is above and more intelligent than the other.
Q4 and 5

It also briefly discusses the price of the magazine targeting a lower class audience, the date indicating what weeks of programs to expect, the logo intriguing non-viewers, and a free promotion attracting audiences.
Media evaluation
The document analyzes the media product's opening title sequence for a political thriller film called "Vengeance". It discusses how the sequence uses and develops conventions from other political thrillers while also challenging some conventions. It incorporates generic conventions like titles on a black background to provide familiarity, but also changes elements like the position and timing of titles. The sequence represents the protagonist as unconventionally middle-aged and wealthy to subvert stereotypes of terrorists. It largely portrays expected gender and class representations but adds some complexity. The sequence would likely be distributed by a major studio given its similarities to successful political thrillers. The intended audience is described as mainly male, aged 20-40, of middle-upper class.

Examining games through this lens can help reveal the ways they position players and represent different groups.

Lost audience targeting
The document summarizes key aspects of the television show Lost that help attract a mainstream audience. It discusses how Lost uses an ensemble cast representing a diversity of races, genders, ages, and nationalities. It also combines elements of escapism through its mystical island setting with relatable plotlines featuring in flashbacks and flashforwards. Additionally, Lost is classified as a hybrid genre blending elements of action, adventure, and fantasy. The use of enigma codes, film scores, and mainstream narrative devices further help attract a wide audience.
Institutional Research
The document analyzes thriller films from 2014-2015. It finds that the genre grossed over $2 billion total domestically during this period. The Hunger Games films were the most successful both years. Their success was due to adapting popular book series, which generated buzz online and through marketing. The target audience for thrillers is teenagers and young adults, as the films often contain violence, language, and themes unsuitable for younger viewers.
1. initial plans
The document outlines Christopher Law's initial plans to create products for an original video game idea set in an alternate universe where the British Empire still exists. These products would include t-shirts, magazine articles, posters, advertisements, and character designs. Law would use programs like Photoshop to design the products and showcase his skills. The target audience for the game and its products would be gamers aged 14 and up. Discounted ideas like a radio show or podcasts are not chosen because they would not allow viewers to experience the visual elements planned for the game.
Question 3
The audience for this media product would be teenagers up to age 30, appealing to both genders equally. This target audience enjoys going out to listen to music, party at clubs, and engage in hobbies like football, singing, rapping, and hip hop dancing. They frequently listen to music independently using devices like iPods. This audience also shows interest in social networking sites and urban artists like Drake, Kanye West, and Rihanna.

Audience Theory
The document discusses several audience theories that can be applied when designing a music magazine, including:
- Burton's theory of socially and media grouped audiences, which the magazine would divide by gender, age, ethnicity, and interest in music.
- Hartley's concept of dividing the audience by self-identification, gender, and age group to appeal to older teenagers and young adults.
- Dyer's theory that audiences will engage with messages addressing their personal inadequacies, like isolation, which the magazine could do through artist interviews.
- Fiske's additional factors of education, region, and urban vs. rural when identifying the target audience.

- 1. Radio Station Preliminary task:Part 1 Travis Thomas
- 2. Station demographics The name of the radio station is ‘nerd FM’ and is focused on a target audience of “nerds”- people with an interest in movies,comics,video games,books and music. The radio station is relevant to these interests but mainly focused on a target audience of gamers,gaming,the gaming circuit and gaming community with a focus on the niche audience of ‘retro’. The demographic for the focused audience would be in the age range fo late teens to mid 30’s market (16-30) as the age for gaming and retro gaming is wide. Also a demographic of a male orientated gender with a small demographic of a female gender. There would also be a regional Geo-demographic for the station. The socio-economic groups relevant to the radio station are generally groups C2,D,E as it is usually these types of people in these groups who would be interested in the main themes of the radio station.
- 3. Station psychographics The psychographics for the radio station would be; Achievers,strivers,experiencers and makers as these psychographics are based around achievement and self-expression which is a major part in the focused target audience of gaming in such ways as ‘achievement hunters’- people who strive to 100% video games and the psychographic of self-expression with such game genres like RPG’s (role playing games) and MMORPG’s (mass multiplayer online role playing games) to create and express oneself through the role of a character. These psychographics also link to the ‘uses and gratifications theory’ in which media is used to provide gratifications and to satisfy needs. The radio station’s themes (nerd culture/gaming/retro gaming) links to this theory and the second and fourth uses in the theory’s four main uses. The second use in the theory is ‘personal relationships-our need to interact with other people’. This use relates the the radio station and its themes as the groups for this use desire to create virtual relationships, these relationships could be for with presenters on the radio or people who are interested in the same things in which the radio shares it’s themes. The fourth use in the theory is ‘Diversion-the need to escape, entertainment and relaxation’. This links to the themes of the radio as the ‘nerd culture’ and the focused theme for the target audience of gaming will relate to this use as interests in the radio’s themes and the focused gaming audience use the same interests of the radio station such as movies,comics and gaming for the fourth use ‘Diversion-the need for escape, entertainment and relaxation’.
