Reception theory

 1) What is the preferred reading of a media text? The preferred reading of the media text presents teenagers and young people as violent and cunning when theyb are not like the suggested message.


2) What is the oppositional reading of a media text? The oppostional reading for the text may make the audience be offended as to how the movie creates a perspective of young adults as evil and scary.

Re-watch the trailer for the film Harry Brown:

 

3) How does the Harry Brown trailer position the audience to respond to the teenage characters in the film? It may make the audience despise young adults and make them judge them more thinking that they commit crimes and don't care about the law.

4) Why might young people reject this reading and construct an oppositional reading of the trailer? Young people may make a oppositional reading of the advert because the advert presents a burger that has many different chemicals on it to make it look appealing but instead people may find it quite gross and not like the burger.

Look at this McDonald's advert:

























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

The preferred readings for this advertisement may want to make people hungrier when looking at the burger and make them want to buy it from their fast food chain therefore making more money for the fast food chain but people may have a op positional reading of the text and find the burger gross and full of fat and cheese because of the big mac structure which is two fat MacDonald’s beef patties which has cheese but barely any source of protein apart from the cabbage but even that wouldn’t make up for the amount of calories you’d consume after eating the big burger and would make you more hungry and will ruin your health making you fatter by consuming the fast food chains burger. As a result you would lose money and ruin your health and on top of that the company would benefit from you buying their burger from their fast food chain.




6) Now find your own advertisement and write a 150+ word analysis using preferred, negotiated and op positional readings.The preferred readings for this advert are to share and buy a coke bottle which will make the coke foundation more money and will be profitable to the brand. The negotiated reading for the advertisement is an expense of a drink that will harm your health and damage your teeth as it becomes a habit the more you drink it wasting most of your money and harming your teeth and health also it will risk you getting diseases the more you consume the product. The oppositional readings for this advert is people going against the idea that coke is a good family drink that everyone can share and enjoy so that the company can make a lot of money out of people when they buy their drinks from retail super markets or when they order their products at him.
