Media Audiences Media Audiences (you only need to look at pages 1-4. The aim is to show some knowledge of theories, concepts and approaches)
To help you re-cap look at the following questions:
- Who is the primary, secondary and tertiary audience for these products?
- What audience theories can you apply to which help you to develop a better understanding of the potential target audience?
- What ideas and approaches about media institutions (rather than individuals) can be applied in terms of the production, distribution & exhibition of your chosen pair of television programmes?
Media Audiences
Information from the board about audience for you to reflect upon:
- Look at the advertising campaigns (trailers, websites at home and abroad) for your chosen CSP TV series and think about how media producers target, attract and potentially construct audiences across local, national and global scales.
- This means that different audiences interpretations reflect social, cultural and historical circumstances – which provide an insight into audience similarities and differences across local, national and global audiences.
- The production, distribution and exhibition of many television shows how audiences can be reached, both on a national and global scale, through different media technologies and platforms, moving from the national to transnational through broadcast and digital technologies.
