Key Concepts

Audience -> the recipients of a media text, or the people who are intended to read or watch or listen or play it.


Ideology -> in its basic form it is a set of ideas or beliefs which are held to be acceptable by the creators of a media text.


Institutions -> a formal organisation  that creates and distributes media texts


Language -> a method of communication


Representation -> the way the media presents the world around us in the form of signs and codes of audiences to read.

Speed Meeting Media Profile...

To me, media is about the entertainment of the target audience also it is about relating to your peer group, making you feel accepted and feel that you belong to something.


I have chosen to study media because I find it an interesting subject also I hope to go on the university to study it and hopefully go into the media as a career.


The last film I watched was 'Knight and Day', it is an action adventure film featuring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz.


My favourite film at the moment is 'Avatar' because of all the special effect and the up-to-date technology that James Cameron uses in the film.


The last CD I bought was Bruno Mars - Wops and Hooligans; Bruno Mars is also my favourite artist at the moment.


If I could be in a TV show it would probably have to be Friends, as it is my favourite TV show and I love all the characters.


My radio is usually tuned into Heart or Jack FM.


The last magazine I read was the film magazine - 'Empire'.


I use the internet for mostly shopping and social networking.


If I was to buy a magazine it would be a gossip magazine like OK


If I had to chose, I would rather be a film director.


The advert which has caught my eye recently is the Evian Water advert.


If I could interview any famous person it would probably be James Cameron because his work fascinates me.
