Eastenders - Cindy wanting an abortion

The target audience of this would be
















Newspaper - Zayn leaving One Direction

The target audience of this article would be teenage girls of the age 14-25 this is because lots of teenage girls are obsessed with One Direction although many people that love one direction may not read this article because they might be too young to be reading newspapers, this is an example of the pick and mix theory. the uses and gratifications for this news article would be to get information. The appeal to the audience is so that they can find out information from the band that they love. I think that the teenage girls would have a preferred reading from this article because they understand everything, boys of the same age or females who are older might have an negotiated reading because they may understand some things but not everything. However i think that older men will probably have an opposition view because they probably don't understand or most of it.






Advertising poster - Insurgent film poster

The target audience of this film would be males around the age of 15-30 because it is an action adventure type film which is stereotypically what a target audience of this age and gender prefer. I think that people from this target audience would get a preferred reading from this film, females of the same age may get a negotiated reading because they may understand 

Exotic-  Death in paradise is set in a fictional place of Saint-Marie, this is seen as exotic because most murder, investigation programmes are set in England like Silent Witness, because we are watching it from England it is seen as an exotic place because it is so hot and they all originate from different places, all with different accents. The setting of this island is what makes this programme seem more exotic, and also the mise en scene because they all wear shorts and vest tops which connotes that this pace is hot.

Pitied- These children and children like them are shown on a lot of charity adverts because people feel sorry for them and want to help them which makes them give more to the charity. These children are pitied because they are upset and are dangerously thin

Race

Casualty

In Casualty there is a positive portrayal of race because their is a female asian who is a a consultant. This is positive and not normally shown because she is a woman and also asian yet she is in charge. Another positive is that her name is 'Zoe' which isn't a stereotypical asian name, which is rare on TV, for example on Eastenders their are names such as Zainab, Massood and Tamwar. As she is one of the only other races different from white english, this could be seen as tokenism. She is shown as a humorous character because she does things like drinking alcohol and smoking which stereotypically is not what asians would do.

Eastenders

In Eastenders their is a black single mum, this is a negative representation of black women. This is stereotypical because on TV usually their are more single black women mums because the dad hasn't stayed around. She is shown as pitied because the audience feel sorry for her because she is struggling as a single mum.
