In today's lesson we learnt about the film industry, the audience within it and an acronym to remember when analyzinguses and gratification.
Audience Acronym:
P - Personal Identification
I - Information
E - Entertainment
S - Social Interaction
What is Personal Identification?
This is when a person can personally and thoroughly relate the film to them self, whether they have been through a similar experience or seen an event, or just have relate to it mentally. It is identifying the model of a persons behaviour, finding reinforcements for personal values and just gaining an insight into ones self. If a person does experience this during a film, it will attract them more deeply to the film compared to those who haven't.
What is Information?
Information is factual knowledge you gain from a film after watching it that you didn't know before you had watched it. Therefore, this could be in any type of films, more so documentary films as this constantly feeds out information about a persons personal life and the events happening in it. If a person receives a lot of information whilst watching a film then they are more likely to understand the moral of the story and much deeper information about what is going on.
What is Entertainment?
The majority of people who go to watch films are purely for their own entertainment, wether its Horror, Thriller, Romance, Action, Sci-fi and many more. If the film provides entertainment for the audience then it will benefit the film producers, providing them more profit and more recommendations to go and watch the film.
What is Social Interaction?
Social Interaction is where people use media and films in social situations. For example, if you were to go and watch a new film out in the cinema, you would then go back and tell your friends and family about the film. Therefore, this will benefit the film production as you are then recommending the film which means those people will go and watch it also, evidently causing a chain of people to do the same thing. As well as this, our generation today have grown up using social media on a daily basis, therefore, reviews and opinions of a new film out will be expressed on social media, which is almost a way of advertising a film.
