Question 1B

Task 1

Do you think the audiences for most media texts do come from 'all walks of life' or do different kinds of people watch very different kinds of programme? Are there any examples of media text that you can think of that do seem to have audiences of all kinds of people?

In reference to music generally the types of music people listen to applies to their social/economic background, for example people from the stereotypical 'lower class' tend to listen to indie rock, whereas people from the upper class are often associated with more classical/refined music. Furthermore music from a certain era tends to be popular with people from 'all walks of life' such as Britpop which includes artists such as Oasis or Blur.

How much of your media experience occurs when you are on your own and how much when you are with others?

I would say from a personal opinion that I tend to have more media experience when I am on my own listening to music/playing xbox/using twitter or instagram. In contrast i feel that people tend to use less media when in company due to the social interaction which keeps people entertained. Although it could be argued that aspects such as gaming and music are both applicable to use with others.

Postmodern advert

I chose this Doritos advert due to its obvious reference to Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding out for a Hero'.
