Reception theory

 1) What is the preferred reading of a media text?

The preferred reading of a media text  is how the producer wants the audience to see the media text.

2) What is the oppositional reading of a media text?

The oppositional reading of a media text is something that places the audience in a different position they were in before/changes their view.

3) How does the Harry Brown trailer position the audience to respond to the teenage characters in the film?

The trailer of the Harry Brown clip wants the audience to think that most kids are very bad and like to commit bad things because of what other people are doing or to be cool.This shows us that most people commit to doing bad things because of the influence of other people.This would most certainly make the audience believe that if they are doing these bad things they would not care about the consequences of their own actions.Meaning if they got in trouble they would not care and would still continue their bad ways.

4) Why might young people reject this reading and construct an oppositional reading of the trailer?

Young people would reject this reading because they would believe that young people would not act like this.They would believe that young people would not want to engage in certain acts like this because of their age and they know the consequences behind these bad deeds.Young people who reject this reading would be better physically and mentally because they are not doing bad things which would lead them into not being the best person they can be.



5) Write a 150+ word analysis of the McDonald's advert using preferred, negotiated and oppositional readings.

Most people who will see this advert will most likely buy the burger because it looks very juicy and very nice to eat.The burger also looks very appetising because of the structure of it.This will lead more people to buying it because most people care about how the products look.People who have a preferred reading of the McDonald's advert are people who are more likely to believe everything they see on the internet.However people who have a preferred reading on this advert would most certainly go and buy this burger straight away because their mind believes that this is really how the burger looks.On the other hand some people will be hesitant about this burger because some of them will believe that the burger would not look like this in real life and that it would not have all the qualities seen in the photo.Also even though some people would not believe that the burger  looks like this in real life they would believe that the burger is still a yummy delicious treat.People who have a negotiated reading of this McDonald's advert would most likely still buy this burger but would be unsure that they will get the burger looking exactly like the photo.Some of the audience seeing this advert would completely believe that this burger is fully fake,does not look like this in real life and does not taste good at all and most certainly does not look this juicy.The people who have an oppositional reading on this advert most likely do not believe anything that is seen on the internet meaning they do not trust everything they see.Perhaps they would still want to buy this burger because McDonald's dose give out good food but they would not believe the advertisement created by McDonald's.

    This is a good start Shymia but you have not read the tasks correctly. Your analysis of the Harry Brown trailer needs to be longer and in more detail and so does your 150+ (it says above this comment!!) analysis of the Macdonalds advert - you were supposed to mention preferred, negotiated and oppositional but you have written one sentence and not mentioned any of those! Re-do please!

Gender representation in advertising

3) What stereotypes of women can you find in the 1950s and 1960s adverts? Give specific examples.  Women were seen to stay at home and do all the cooking and cleaning.Their hair had to be perfectly done and their makeup should be flawless.In the adverts the women would always be cooking or cleaning.The products for the advert would always be a cleaning or cooking product and the main character would always feature a women in it.The stereotype was that women should stay home and be cooking or cleaning  for their husband while he works to make money for the household.Also women would have to have their hair and makeup done for their husband to seem pretty and modest for them. 4) What stereotypes of women can you find in the post-2000s adverts?  The stereotypes form women in the 2000s was that they had to please men.This meant that they were heavily objectified and had to make sure that they fitted the beauty standards.Women were still seen as much more weaker  than men...

OMO advert CSP

  1) What year was the advert produced? The year the  OMO  advert was produced was in 1955 2) How were women represented in most adverts in the 1950s? Add as much detail to this answer as you can as these are the social, cultural and historical contexts we will need to write about in the exam. In most adverts in the 1950s women were presented as cookers and cleaners.The way these adverts were presented always showed a massive stereotype towards women.For example in the OMO advert it features a women enjoying hanging up the washing.Her facial expressions show that she is shocked and is also enjoying what she is doing.To show this was a stereotype the advert used a women (could be seen as a mother).At the bottom of the advert there is some text where it says "This will shake your mother".This is a stereotype because it fully shows that this product was aimed towards mothers because they are always cleaning and want their clothes and items to look the best of the best. 3) Ho...
