The document summarizes audience feedback received for a music video and accompanying print productions. Key findings include:
- The music video was enjoyed overall, with an average rating of 4 out of 5, though males rated the mise-en-scene higher than females.
- Females (the primary target audience) felt the print productions better reflected the genre of music compared to males.
- The print productions received an overall rating of 3 out of 5, indicating they were less successful than the main music video.
- Reception theory, including encoding and decoding, helps explain how different audiences may interpret media productions differently based on their demographics. Most responses fell under preferred or negotiated readings.
This is my questionnaire result and analysis for my A2 music video where i will be creating a music video to the Indie Pop song Spark by Fitz And The Tantrums.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

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.
1. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT FROM AUDIENCE
FEEDBACK?
BY SORREL GRUNDY
2. AUDIENCE PROFILE
The age range of my target audience is16-20 as this is the age group that the performers in the music video
are in and so they will be able to relate to them more.
The gender of my target audience will be mainly female as main performer in the music video and on the
digipak is female and so they will be able to relate to them more.
The ethnicity of my target audience will be mainly white British as both of the performers are this ethnicity and
so they will be able to relate to them more.
The sexuality of my target audience will most probably be heterosexual as the two performers are male and
female and so the relationship shown is heterosexual.
The media interest of my target audience will most likely be independent or underground bands which are
not mainstream due to the nature of the artist. For example Benjamin Francis Leftwich
The films and TV shows that my target audience would be watching are films such as ‘Another Earth’ and TV
shows such as Ashes to Ashes, they are more likely to watch show and films with a strong female lead.
My target audience will be local to Norwich as the music video was shot in Norwich and so all of the
locations used are recognisable to people who live in or frequently visit Norwich. The social class of my target
audience probably be between B and C1. This is because of the genre of the music and the locations used.
The genre of this song is Indie-Rock which will appeal to the target audience as it is currently a very popular
genre. Artists such as Ed Sheeran and John Legend have popularised this genre and made it accessible to
the masses.
I have a more detailed version of this on my blog called ‘Audience’.
3. ONGOING FEEDBACK
When both shooting and editing my main product I was getting feedback from my tutor and
peers which helped me to make revisions and ensure that my music video met the aims in
wanted it to. Most of the feedback given at this stage was verbal but it helped me significantly
throughout the shooting and editing processes. I also got feedback when designing my print
productions with each design I made I asked the opinions of my peers and my tutor so that I
could create print productions which were appealing and linked well to my music video.
Below is some feedback I got for my final print productions draft design after which I started to
create them with help from this feedback.
4. LOCATIONS
From my feedback I have learnt that the locations I
have used were effective and recognisable for people
who live locally to Norwich. The locations I used in my
music video were conventional for the genre of music. I
mainly used a city locations but had bursts of nature
throughout out. The locations I used were all in the local
area of Norwich which means that audience members
from this local area will identify these locations and
could relate to the music video more because of this
connection. Using both a city and natural location gave
variety to the mise-en-scene created by these locations
which could interest the viewer further.
5. COSTUMES
The costumes used in this music video were
representative of modern high street fashion. I chose
this because of the target audience for my music
video as they will most probably to between the ages
of 16-21 and so will have some interest in fashion and
will also be able to relate to the performers more if
they can see some part of themselves in the
performers. The blues in the males costume were
used to represent water and sadness which are both
repeatedly references throughout the music video
both in visuals and lyrics.
The black and grey used in the females costumes
was to represent death and depression. The same
costumes were used throughout to ensure continuity
and simplicity for the audience. The original costume
for the female performer was changed due to
feedback we were given by our tutor, she
commented that it was not bold or glamourous
enough, it was just a bit plain. I agreed with this
comment and so changed the costume to make it
more effective and fashionable. This did mean that
we had to reshoot quite a lot of footage but the
extra time put in was worth it as the new costume
made both the character and music video as a
whole better and look more professional.
In the music video "You" by One
Direction the performers costumes
are simplistic and high street, the
costumes used in this music video
influenced the male performers
costumes in my music video. The
costumes are uniform but with
each performer having their
personal style being shown
through their specific costume.

6. AUDIENCE FEEDBACK
Getting audience feedback is essential for all media productions as it can help to shine a light
on the strengths and weaknesses of the production. It can also help you to see how your target
audience decode the productions is this is key to the success of any media production. I got
my audience feedback through doing questionnaires, for my music video 10 media students
filled in a questionnaire (5 male, 5 female). I also had an interview with a non-media student
who fits into my primary demographic. For my digipak I also carried out a questionnaire which
8 media students participated in. I also did an interview with the same non-media student as
the music video about my ancillary productions.
As my music video relies on the concept of relationships the uses and gratifications for my
music video would most likely be ‘personal relationship’ which is about using the media for
emotional and other interaction for example identifying with artists. My music video could be
used for other uses and gratifications such as ‘diversion’ and ‘personal identity’ but would not
be used for ‘surveillance’ as it does not give information which is useful for living.
8. QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS – MUSIC VIDEO
From my audience feedback I have
learnt that media students half of
which are my target audience
enjoyed my music video. These are
my results for the first question on my
questionnaire for my music video.
The top chart is the overall
feedback where are the bottom
two have been split into female and
male. The average score for this
question is 4 out of 5 which is an
excellent result as it tells me that my
music video has been successful in
entertaining people which is one of
it primary objectives.

9. QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS – MUSIC VIDEO
From this audience feedback I have found
that the male participants liked the mise-
en–scene more than the female
participants but overall it got a 4 out of 5
which tells me that the mise-en-scene of
my music video is good but there is room
for improvement. From this is have learnt
that my audience did think that there was
a high level of mise-en-scene in my music
video but that it was not perfect.
How do you rate the standard of mise-
en-scene?

10. QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS – PRINT PRODUCTIONS
These are the results for one of my
questions from my feedback on my print
productions. These show that the female
participants thought that the print
productions successfully reflected the
genre of music more than the males did
as 83% of females gave it 4 out of 5
whereas 67% of males gave it a 2 out of
5 which is a significant difference. From
this I have learnt that when researching
and figuring out my target audience I
came to the right conclusion about the
gender of my primary target audience.
There were less males than females
which participated in this questionnaire
which could have also contributed the
results as there was not a large enough
range to get an accurate view on the
results.

11. QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS – PRINT PRODUCTIONS
From these results I have learnt that the
overall rating for my print productions
was 3 out of 5 with 45% of the
participants choosing this option. This
tells me that my print productions are
not as successful as my main product
was. With the female results there was
an equal split between 5 out of 5, 4 out
of 5 and 3 out of 5 which tells me that
the results were positive they were all in
the top half of the choices.

12. RECEPTION THEORY
Stuart Hall’s theory of encoding and decoding can be applied to my productions as seen
through my questionnaire results as different demographics will decode my productions in
different ways. Most of the readings have been either preferred or negotiated which is a
positive thing as I currently have not had an oppositional reading of any of my productions. As
the producer of these productions I encoded the text but the audience may decode them in
a different way.
