Uses and gratifications

- Blumler and katz researched how and why people select certain media products over others.
They came up with four main uses

1. Entertainment-offers distraction from the world.
2. Personal identity-helps us consider who we are;what values we identify with.
3. Relationship-we find things we can share and discuss with others.
4. Information-new information we want to know or take pleasure in knowing.

The Lego Movie Poster Campaign

L/O: To explain the effectiveness of the campaign;to analyse using uses and gratification theory.

Lego movie teaser posts:

There are over 20 teaser posters that have been released which made the target audience want to go se the movie because young kids would like the bright colours the poster.Also parents or older people would like to go see the film because the posters with characters on them could remind them of other films they have seen and enjoyed.

 

Stereotypes in the lego movie have been changed as wild style is seen as the hero because Emmit is constantly being saved by her.

Stereotypes can be positive because it can give people to look up too for example action heroes. They can also cause debates and simplify characters to make it easier to make a film.





The Lego Movie uses stereotypes to create representation as the characters appeal to the target audience and can be easily understood.Lord business has got a stereotype of being a villain as he has got dark,evil colours,angry pointed eyebrows and scary facial expressions.

To explore the intertextuality of the lego movie

1.Emmet (Chris Pratt), an ordinary lego figurine who always follows the rules, is mistakenly identified as the Special -- an extraordinary being and the key to saving the world. He finds himself drafted into a fellowship of strangers who are on a mission to stop an evil tyrant's (Will Ferrell) plans to conquer the world. Unfortunately for Emmet, he is hopelessly -- and hilariously -- unprepared for such a task, but he'll give it his all nonetheless.

2.The films main themes/messages are to be creative and believe in yourself.

3.Dc superheroes,star wars/harry potter and more.

BBC School Report Evaluation

I worked in a group with max,victor,joe and ethan. My role in the group was the questioner.
At first we researched under aged smoking but then we moved onto the weather.
The hardest part of trying to film the report as i was the only one in on the day.
I do think our report followed the professional conventions after watching back the clips.
The best part of the report was how simple but informative it was.
If we were to make another report in the future i think the whole group should try to be there and to add more pictures and videos. I think i know now what its like to be a journalists.

Successful Interview Techniques

Ask relevant question.

Find a space where you can speak without loosing focus on the conversation.

Ask the question confidently so you look professional.

Do not ask closed questions which you will receive yes or no as an answer.

Positive questions to make them at ease.

Just nod to show that you are listening.

What : What happened?

When : When did it happen?

Why : Why did it happen?

Where : Where did it happen?

Who : Introduce the person you are interviewing?

Hi im ____ and this is _____.

What was the biggest accident you have been in?

Where were you and how old were you when it occurred?

How did this end up happening?

I think what we need to improve on is the fact that we did not stay focused and was easily distracted and started to laugh sometimes.Also members of the group didn't want to be filmed which led to only two people taking part in the interviews.

But the members that took part looked directly into the camera and spoke clearly.
