Media Theorists Compacted

Lurla Mulvey-Male Gaze

Film represents women as a passive object of male desires.

Audiences are forced to view of the women  from the view of a heterosexual male ,  heterosexual  women or homosexual male

Bell Hooks-Colour Codes 

Lighter skinned women are more seen as beautiful and desirable women in the western ideology of beauty

Black women are objectified  and sexualised  in hip-hop and  seen as sexually disposable

Com-modified blackness  , meditated view on black culture that is considered the norm

Stuart Hall - Audience Reception Theory 

Audiences often blur races and classes. Often assorting races with set class

Audience reception  theory ;  audiences read/understand a particular text according  to  their culture up bringing

Western  (White dominated)  cultures.  continue to misinterpret ethnic  minorities in media due to underlying racist tendencies.

Stuart Hall - Black Characterizations in Media  

hall outlines three base images  of the "grammar of race" employed in "old movies".
the first slave  figure found in which ethier could take form of  "dependable  , loving  devoted"Mammy"  with rolling eyes  or the faithful  field hand  attached and devoted to "his" master  (Hall 1955:21)

Stuart Hall - the Narrative 

The second of Halls based images  the native. their primitive  nature means they are barbaric  , cheating ,  cunning and savage  to appear  any moment out of the darkness  to attack the beautiful heroine or kidnap children.

Stuart Hall - The Clown/ Entertainer 

The lasts of Halls variants is the clown or entertainer  , implying a  "innate" humor in the black man ether we laugh at the clown or with the clown  ; overt racism  is rare  in the media rather.

Audience Reception Theory 

Preferred reading  or dominant  reading  is a list of intentions listed by the creator or author  that may lead to dominant values through the text

Negotiated reading or subordinate it is a personal choice to accept the text or not while reading and may read through a  filter of there own personal agenda the individual may argue that particular groups are misrepresented

Opposition reading or Radical reading  audience members may reject the  the dominant code and social values that are produced.

Aberrant reading  is a different meaning  that intended by the maker  will be taken form the text. this could just be a individual member that they don't share.

LO5 Questions


LO5
You have been asked to launch a fashion magazine aimed at young females in the 16 to 24 age bracket
What primary methods might you use to gain information about possible content for the magazine?
The primary methods for gaining information would first look at examples of other magazines and get a general idea of what females are more interested by the other topics that age range. The 2nd way I would try and gather information would be social media as it would be the best way to gain mass information but there’s a problem that it’s too broad and not really a localised information it would still give a faster way to gain information. A other primary way could also do ask questions to females of that age bracket directly using social media and see what responses you would get form that age group.
Televisions could be used to gather information as you could find TV shows with the demographic of that age group of 16-24.
LO5 Question 2:
Go to the official Assassins Creed website. Now identify three ways you believe Ubisoft have:
1 Involved video game fans in the production process 
Ubisoft involved the community by showcasing community projects like player made Mods and art etc. On the Ubisoft Assassins Creed Website there’s a community tab on the website with player spotlights on their creations, there’s also  a forums for their fan base to give feedback to the develops  in the production and there also a “Game Plan” to include fans to see the process of game production .

2: Created the climate for a sequel and spin offs through narrative, characters and gameplay
The assassin creed series uses the setting of the game as it created different Eras of time and historical places or times period as the games have been using different time zones for example one form the Medieval France to the Egyptian Era furthermore the use of narrative and characters can be used as the series uses the Ancestors for the characters as they can use Made up or Historical Figures and link it to the Characters in there story making it a endless possible character creations also thought the gameplay its consistent throughout the sequels and spin offs as it keep the same mechanics and feel  but adding more features and that what the fans of this game tend  to like most its really just a reskin of previous games and more features and a brand new story how the game works to its core is the same throughout keeping that old feel as some of the fan favourites how they gameplay thought movement to combat it creates a climate slightly different but still close enough to the originals  Titles before that.

LO6 Charlie Brocker

Charlie Broker, His point of view on the video game industry is one of the average player  hes plays for entertainment and does no see any further purpose in so but he does into some detail of how over the years mainstream media has discarded or not given games a fair chance form when they first where arising up on the market to more modern ones as a example one of the clips inside the video was of the Game "GTA V" and it was conved by the mainstream media as something so bad and sinister as using "Your Kids" but hes view its thats its just a game and its there for fun furthermore his opinion tend to be very good.

And do i Agree? Yes i do as most of his points are what i inline with  as games are for entertainment as for the main stream media yes there going to bash it anyway possible as its a Waste of time and "Get a Job" but i as i know that there are professional games who arguable  make more than most jobs  As the Game "CS GO" a game developed by Steam they have tournaments for Pro Players what reach up to million dollars as there is real money can be made its just main stream media tend not to follow the good parts rather than focus on games what are not really tended to be played competitively for example the "GTA V" case that yes its a about crime and other things but it does not in very few cases make someone do them things its more of what if i did go down that path and of course the game is there for jokes but with a little serious and after all "Its Just a Game" and "waste of time" so why mainstream media so bothered as they convey its so bad.

The arrival of web 2.0 software , high-speed broadband and black box devices such as smartphones , pcs , laptops and tables also smart tvs was introduced at a more mass in the early 2000's and digital media was becoming more and more spread in common waves meaning that single devices as camera and tvs didnt need to be used on the go as smartphones where used instead.
 
For Examples Smartphones has become more common and common throughout the years especially in more richer country as they have been taking over the traditional Media  as things form communication and even markets of purchasing products have raised online.
