Media Consumtion

My media consumption


I spend approximately 10 hours a week of television, I usually watch alone, however, I would prefer to watch with other people, as it can make it more interesting. I normally watch television at night just before I fall asleep and often fall asleep watching. I enjoy watching popular TV shows and often end up watching seasons in a day once I once my attention has been grasped. I hardly ever watch live TV and almost always watch catch up tv on websites, such as Netflix.

I occasionally listen to the radio when I am in the car but normally play my own music in the car. When I do listen to the radio I enjoy listening to Capital Extra. I spend approximately an hour a week listening to the radio. I normally listen to the radio at different times of the day, however, I enjoy listening to music mainly at night.

I have gone to the cinema to "IT' three times in the last month and am hoping to go to see "Kingsman 2" sometime in the near future as it has recently come out, I enjoyed the first one and have been told that it is a good movie. I have recently watched an older film called "Shawshank Redemption", as someone recommended that I watch it, although it was an older film then I would normally watch, I enjoyed the movie. When I went to the cinema, I went with my friends twice and once with my family. The first time I recommended that we watch the film, however the other times I was convinced into going. I typically watch films on my laptop or my phone.

I have access the internet 24 hours a day and am generally always connected to the internet, whether it be on my phone, my laptop or a tablet. I access the internet wherever I go due to mobile data, however, consume the most internet at home. The main sites that I access are Youtube, Netflix and generally, the rest is used on social media. The main reasons I access the internet is for entertainment and to communicate with friends. My primary device for access to the internet is my phone. The main social networking sites which I  use are; Snapchat, Instagram and Whatsapp. I belong to these sites because they are sites which everyone uses and I enjoy using them as I can interact with my friends.

I could develop the amount of variety in the media I watch by perhaps watching more news, I will change my media consumption due to a result of studying a level media by watching more news are reading more news articles so that I can keep up with the relevancy of things and improve the range of what I view. BBC NEWS, The Sun News, Suits.

Introduction to Representation

1) List the different people / groups represented in the trailer. Men Women Americans 2) For each group you identify, decide whether the representation is a dominant or alternative portrayal. Explain why you think this. Men-Dominant Men are seen to have a dominant portrayal, as they are seen to take advantage of the women in the film, fighting to save the woman and being aggressive. The main Character is seen to be strong, brave and seems to be better then all the other characters, effectively it shows that the main character is a man and has to save his daughter who is seen to be the "princess" who needs to be saved. Women-Dominant The stereotype for women is that they are vulnerable and require help to be saved. In the movie her father instructs her to do some things, which would help him to find her so that he is able to rescue her. The daughter is seen as weak and happened to find herself in exactly the situation which her father said she would be in and ha

Audeince Theory

Hypodermic needle model. 1) the hypodermic needle is a model of communication developed in the 20's after the researchers observed the effects of the WW1 propaganda which showed the audience fully accepted the technique portraying the medias power to the public. in a similar manner video games are also having a profound effect on those playing them on a regular basis which is what links this article to the hypodermic needle. professor bushman has shown in the research that when the results were shown the students who played the violent games may come to see the world as a more hostile and violent as it showed in their behaviour which is linked to how the characters of the video games would think n their surroundings. 2) the main reason for criticism for this front page is the head line used - a 15 year old, who is a video game addict and rarely leaves his bedroom suggests that the media is to blame, because the media influences the audience and this has a negative impact on t

Audience Theory 2

1) Social learning theory has been criticised for simplifying the causes of violence in society. Do you think the media is responsible for anti-social behaviour and violence? I believe that social learning theory is not entirely responsible for anti-social behaviour and violence in society as people can use this as an excuse for any form of media, this could restrict media in many ways, as people could even say the same thing about movies or posters. People understand that what happens in video games is not the same as what happens in real life and people should not treat life the same way they do in games. 2) How is social learning theory relevant in the digital age? Are young people now learning behaviour from social media and the internet? Give examples. People do learn things from social media and the internet in this digital age and we can see this from many viral things which occur are often re-enacted by many people, however not everyone follows social media, but those who do
