  Demographics and Psychographics: blog tasks 1) What information do media companies use to create a demographic profile of their audience? They use segmentation and separate  their audience into subgroups such as age, gender, education, social class, race/ ethnicity, jobs and home, which is about where they live, for example: cities, villages and countryside. 2) Why are media companies and advertisers increasingly using audience profiling and not just demographics? Because people might think that using demographics and creating subgroups (the idea of segmentation) is stereotypical and audience profiling helps increase conversion. 3) What psychographic group or groups do  YOU  belong in? Think about your own interests and lifestyle and explain your decision. Remember, you may fit into two or three different groups!  I think that I fit into the mainstreaming group of psychographics as I always follow the most trusted brands and trending ones and I also fit into t...

Blog tasks: 1) Pick  three   aspects of  camera movement  in the Minority Report clip. Identify the  type  of camera movement and write about why the director chose to use that camera movement in the scene and what effect it has on the audience. They used a whip pan many times, which is just a faster version of pan, to create tension and suspension for the audience since everything was happening so fast. This suggests that the main event of the scene is about to happen and it is something exciting. They also used the track or dolly camera movement, which is basically the camera on wheels. This emphasises that it is a chase scene and it connotes the fast movement of the chase, which also creates suspense. The crane shot was also used in this scene to showcase the dramatic action taking place. It tells us that there is something going on is the scene that uses dramatic irony since it's a high angle shot. 2) Pick  two  aspects of  editing  ...

  Blog tasks: 1) Pick  three  camera  shots  from the Doctor Who scene and explain what type of shot it is and what meanings or effect they have on the audience. The shot that is an extreme close-up of the electric energy supply that they used was very significant as it was emphasizing the energy and power that they used to create the experiment they did. It also successfully informs the audience that something tragic is about to happen next. The opening medium shot examines the character's upper body and their following actions. This highlights the fact that the character plays an important role in the scene since they start the scene with this character and seeing that the character introduces them self already to be known, it just proves the point further. Towards the end of the scene, the directer shows us an over-the-shoulder shot when the character is on one of their many computers trying to figure out a way to help the others with their experiment on how ...

  Mise-en-scene: Blog task Watch the opening of television drama ‘Stranger Things’, a science fiction story set in the 1980s when four friends get wrapped up in a dangerous alternate universe. Create a new blogpost called 'Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things analysis'.  1) Choose  THREE  aspects of mise-en-scene (e.g. costume, lighting and setting) and write a short paragraph for  each  about the  denotation  and  connotation  and what is communicated to the audience. For example:  Lighting: The lighting, during the part where the boy looked up at the light bulb, was flashing and very bright. This connotes that when the flash happens, some sort of major event happens, for example, when the light flashed, the boy disappeared. This creates suspense and makes the audience wonder what is going to happen next. It gives the audience an aspect of enjoyment to look forward to when watching the series and makes them want to re- watch the whole t...
