Props characters theory unit 4

There are eight different character types in the media industry of TV and film. These are: The hero, the villain, the donor, the dispatcher, the princess prize, the keeper, the father of the princess and the false hero. In this section of this report I will now define what each character means in the media of TV and film and how the audience perceives them and give an example for each. The Hero is somebody who people look up to and admire and they always have a positive representation in the story. A good example would be Luke Skywalker from the films 'Star Wars.' We follow the hero's story and how he or she achieves their goals or tasks, e.g, saving the world or saving the princess from the bad guy, or scoring the winning goal. Then there is the opposite  character to the hero, the Villain, which has a negative representation to people and has negative traits. The Villain can be evil but is not always so. He or she may just be a person who gets in the way of the her...

The types of audience theories for unit 4 report

Another example of passive consumption of media was when people became convinced that the War of the Worlds radio broadcast in 1938 was true and that the events of aliens landing were actually happening. Drawbacks on this theory model. ...

Researching TV productionS

The Tv production I  chosen to write about is the reality show , This Morrning here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruftG_LdFOY Set / location of the production. In the introduction of the show we see the location and set the presenters are in when presenting the program before cutting to segments that are going to be featured in the show. Even though the production is recorded in a studio , the producer of the show wants to create a relaxed and casual environment.  They do this by creating a typical home environment featuring a kitchen and a lounge area. This is where guests will be interviewed and sometimes they use these areas to present the program rather than standing up and looking at the camera. This establishes a connection with the audience. For the producers it is very important to create the right set environment  when producing a TV program . This is because they want the audience to feel engaged and interactive. For instance in the TV...
