types of audience

primary audience:
the primary audience for a film or game is the group that the game or film is set on a 15 to 18
for example the primary audience for toy story is for kids.

primary audience:
the secondary audience for a film or game is a people who have been told about that game or film and have decided to watch or play a film.

passive audience

A passive audience does not actively engage with a media text. A passive audience is one that does not question the message that the media is sending and simply accepts the message in the way the media outlet intended. 
active audience
An active audience is one that actively engages with the text. They do not simply accept every media message. They question what they see and develop their own interpretation of a media product based on their life experiences, education, family and  cultural influences. 


audience reception theory definitions

the media text is NOT simply passively accepted by the audience but the audience interpreters the meaning based on their life experiences. for example, a group with similar backgrounds will understand the text in similar ways. the less shared heritage the audience has with the creator the less the audience will be able to recognise the artists intended messages.
examples- eastenders in there show they showed someone that they were HIV positive.

What do they regulate?
How do they regulate it?
Give 2-3 examples?




Give some reasons (with examples) why media production may be regulated?





Its better to have a younger audience because you will get more views and ratings will be much higher but if the bbfc is an 18 it is protect the younger viewers because there would be a lot of violence, swearing, and blood/ body parts being chopped off.
