Hello Moderator,


I hope you enjoy looking through this blog and at my final media products.

My research and planning starts right at the beginning of the blog, on 20th June 2011, my final products can be found right below this message, and my Evaluation starts on the 5th April 2012.

Again, I hope you enjoy looking through my A2 media journey, and thank you for taking the time to do so!

Tasha :)

Research and Planning: Audience Theories

1. The hypodermic needle model
Messages are wholly accepted by general audiences - a 'direct, strategic, planned infusion' like being jabbed by a needle

2. Cultivation theory
The more exposed we are to certain medias, the more convinced we are that the message is true

3. Desensitisation
The world is such a bad place, nothing really affects us as it would our ancestors 50 or so years ago














4. Modeling or copycat theory
 We copy what we see in media - films, video games etc.

5. Uses and gratifications theory
We use the media for debate/knowledge, rather than negatively such as in the first four.
