Demographics


Audiences can be seen as:

  •  Receiving texts ( Reception Theory) actively, having power over the message they receive.
or

  • More passively being affected by the media (effects theory) or changed over time as a result of their exposure to the media (cultivation theory)

Main Points for Exam and C/W:

  • How the content of the material affects the target audience, 
  • What do you want the audience to feel within 5 mins?
  • The content is there only because it's what the audience want to see.
  • If the content is intended for a specific audience then it's only natural that the people who it is not intended for lash out or don't understand it.
  • The terget audience will most definitely affect the production costs of a subject.
