How much television do I watch a week?I watch between 5 and 10 hours a week.Do I have cable, satellite or Freeview? I have Freeview.Do I have a television set in my bedroom? No.What are my favourite television programmes? Doctor who, The Fades, Misfits, Top boy, The Imbetweeners, Phone Shop and Merlin.My answers build up a profile of a person as a media consumer.

An audience are people who speculate or listen to a form of text that is presented visually or spoken, for example, a radio or television program. A media product cannot exist without and audience.  The products that the creative media create are all designed for a specific audience.  Targeting the right product at the right audience in the right way is an important skill that all media producers must develop if their particular product is going to survive.Some target audiences are quite broad.  Olympic Games, for instance, will target a mass market.  Some products are targeted at a much narrower, specialised  target audience and is often referred to as a 'niche market'.An audience can be divided into several different categories. There are many categories and a singular person can be part of vast amounts of categories, some more than others. For example, a person may be a romanticist and loves watching romantic comedy's or reading romance novels. However, that same person may also watch action and horror movies. Also, there are many different age groups and ethnicities that people are classed into, for example, 'a middle aged African male' and a 'young teenage European girl'. Therefore, an audience may be be divided into several categories.I believe these categories are demographic; they are based on age, gender, social class, background/race and occupation.However, even within these categories there can be levels of gradation.For example the social class category consists of the following:

• A

- Upper middle class; Higher managerial, administrative or professional.

• B

- Middle class; Intermediate managerial, administrative or professional.

• C1

-Lower middle class; Supervisory or clerical and junior managerial, administrative or professional.

• C2

- Skilled working class; Skilled manual workers.

• D

- Working class; Semi and unskilled manual workers.

• E

- Those at the lowest levels of subsistence; Casual or lowest grade workers, pensioners and others who depend on the welfare state for their income.

Media organisations undertake audience research to find out information about their target audience using primary, secondary, quantitative and qualitative research methods and techniques.Media organisations use Primary research techniques such as focus groups, questionnaires and face-to-face interviews, to ascertain what would work well and what they could improve on.Secondary research can be obtained by using ratings and circulation figures from specialised media research organisations, providing a more accurate form of research.Audiences interact with and respond to different elements or codes,  There are verbal codes - language, visual codes - what is seen and aural codes - what is heard; normally through music.

Analysis of the Introducing scene of the film 'Inception'

In the film 'Inception' there are various genres present. However, analysing all of them would be strenuous. Therefore, I have decided to analyse the 'Action genre' within the extract.

Action is about a character or several characters facing a physical, mental or emotional challenge.

The long shot of the crashing waves immediately involves the audience, getting their attention. This could symbolise a turbulent event forthcoming.

 The character established is faced with the prospect of being shot or being faced with death as a gun is thrusted into his back as he is lying in the sand of a desolate place. This is realised using camera shots like, close ups, long shots, high angles teamed with mid shots and the low angles. Thus, creating, suspense and the impression of power and dominance.

BBC Research

BBC Research

For this task I used secondary research (primarily using the internet)

1.      What media industry is the company involved in?

The BBC is a public funded service. That broadcasts as a service for the UK only. It is compulsory in every TV as people pay the TV licence to fund the BBC.

2.      Who are the company’s main customers (audience)?

Everyone that buys a TV or has a TV with a licence is the BBC’s audience.

3.      How many people does the company employ?

The BBC employs roughly 3,000 people.

4.      Is the company local, national or multinational?

The BBC is a multinational company.

5.      Who owns the company – is it privately owned, part of a bigger group of companies or a public company?

The BBC is owned by the public.

6.      Is it worth YOUR while to work with this client? Why?

Yes it would be worth my while, as I would get a profit depending on how many views I get. Also I may get extra work as someone may enjoy the production that I have made.

The Production process

Pre-production is the process of preparing all the elements involved in a film, play, or other performance.
Post production is part of the film-making process. It occurs in the making of motion pictures, television programs, radio programs, advertising, videos, audio recordings, photography and digital art.
Production is the action of making or manufacturing from components or raw materials, or the process of being so manufactured.
