Fandom
Fandom refers to subcultures of individuals devoted to aspects of popular culture beyond casual consumption. People in fandoms show their love through fan activities and cultural productions like "poaching" elements from one text into another, "bricolage" of reorganizing parts into new works, and "slash" fiction exploring unspoken relationships between fictional characters. Studying fandom is important for understanding cultural economy and how audiences actively engage with media in new ways.

It also lists questions to consider when evaluating sources, such as the author's expertise, publication details, references, intended audience, and whether there is more recent scholarship.
Question 4
The document discusses the potential audience for a media product about a complex plot involving a female protagonist living under a dictatorship. The audience would likely be ages 16 and older due to violence and disturbing scenes. Similar rated movies like Blood Diamond and No Country For Old Men are referenced. The document also discusses appealing to both male and female audiences ages 18-50 by having a unique plot and strong female lead character not often seen in movies. Typical audience members described are educated professionals who keep up with current events and enjoy movies. Ways to appeal to younger audiences mentioned include having relatable young actors and portraying possible future consequences.
Media evaluation 2
This document discusses how a media product represents certain social groups through its characters. It notes that teenage actors are used to appeal to a 15-22 demographic, portraying stereotypical loud and athletic teenagers. The male characters follow gender stereotypes of being boisterous and competitive, while the female character subverts expectations by being the antagonist rather than the damsel in distress. Regional identity is represented through the male actors' use of words like "safe" and "yo" implying they are from London, portraying a stereotype of working class Londoners as common.
