Narrative provides coherence and organization to facts by connecting events and allowing interpretations. All media texts have a beginning, middle, and end and are constructed with an intended audience in mind. Genre relies not just on a text's content but how it is assembled. While a horror and thriller may have similar subjects, they belong to different genres. When creating media, producers consider whether it will have an audience as there is no point proceeding without the potential for an audience. Representation in media involves highlighting certain aspects of individuals or groups being portrayed.

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”.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. Narrative
• Narrative is the coherence/organisation given to
a series of facts. The human mind needs narrative
to make sense of things. We connect events and
make interpretations based on those
connections.
• In everything we have a beginning, a middle and
an end. We understand and construct meaning
using our experience of reality and of previous
texts. Each text becomes part of the previous and
the next through its relationship with the
audience.
4. Genre
• Genre does not rely simply on what's in a
media text but also on the way it is put
together .
• EXAMPLE - when distinguishing between a
horror movie and a thriller, which can deal
with similar subject matter, and look the same
— lots of action set at night — but belong to
separate genres.
5. Audience
• All media texts are made with an audience in
mind, ie a group of people who will receive it and
make some sort of sense out of it. And generally,
but not always, the producers make some money
out of that audience. Therefore it is important to
understand what happens when an audience
"meets" a media text. When a media text is being
planned, perhaps the most important question
the producers consider is "Does it have an
audience?" If the answer to this is 'no', then there
is no point in going any further.
6. Uses and gratifications theory
• The uses and gratifications theory is a popular approach to understanding
mass communication.
• It is said that the uses and gratifications theory has to fulfil one of the
following when we choose a form of media:
- Personal Identity – being able to recognise a product in front of you, role
models that reflect similar values to yours, aspiration to be someone else.
- Information – being able to acquire information, knowledge and
understanding.
- Entertain - what you are consuming should give you an enjoyment and
also some form of escapism enabling us to forget our worries temporarily.
- Social interaction – the ability for media products to produce a topic of
conversation between other people, sparks debates
7. Representation
• representation is all about understanding the choices that are made
when it comes to portraying something or someone in a mass
media text. It's impossible to portray every aspect of an individual
in a photograph, or even in a feature film, so certain features of
their personality and appearance get highlighted, and are often
enhanced, when it comes to constructing the representation that
the audience will see. When representing a person, media texts
often focus on their:
• Age
• Gender
• Race/Ethnicity
• Financial Status
• Job
• Culture/nationality
8. Media language
• Media conventions, formats, symbols and
narrative structures which cue the audience to
meaning. The symbolic language of electronic
media work much the same way as grammar
works in print media.
