2. you must

3. you must link


LOST- box 2
-A mass, mainstream, almost global audience.
-mainly appeals to a more passive audience.
-a minority of conventions do cater for more active audiences
(all different types of audiences)
-Lost does offer its target audience a variety of gratifications, however the majority of the encoded conventions provide the gratification of escapism


PEAKY BLINDERS- box 2
BBC 2 GETS MONEY FROM LICENCE FEES
INFORM EDUCATE AND ENTERTAIN- BBC OVERALL
BBC2- HIGH PRODUCTIONS CELEBRATES BRITISH CULTURE

-audience who are attracted to abc 2's remit - focuses on British community and culture (PB=historical)
- conventions appeal to an active and passive audience
-fairly mainstream audience
- some areas of the narrative requires the audience to be cutlery competent - doesn't spoon feed you information, expects you to know some information
e.g. parlay - meeting to stop violence
kin- family
dump a body in the cut - dump it in the canal

Abortion scenes = use for informations




MAD MEN

- A more niche and active audience
- the text requires you to be consistently active to gain the preferred reading
-an audience who require further gratifications than simply entertainment, relaxation or escapism such as a historical information
- an audience who are gratified by having their beliefs and morals reinforced/challenged (joan sleeps with Herber?t but to escape from men and make her life better)
