Media Audiences, Stereotypes, 09/11/15

Today we have been learning about stereotypes and how to sterotype people and trying to get a rough idea of that if we was to stereotype a person what type of genre of media would you sell to them. At the beginning of the lesson we filled out a sheet on moodle and tried to guess the persons stereotype and what films would they be into just by looking at a description of them. We were learning about stereotypes to try and help us with who were aiming our short films at and to help us get ideas of what we would try include to get the audience to be involved and to like the short film.

We then went onto drawing yourself as a stereotype to help us get more insight of what you can stereotype a media company to sell to you as a person with the stereotype we had chosen. We had to highlight a main factor of our life and what we enjoy and draw us as a person and then think about what we would need to draw around the person to get the audience to know that they like the factor. I drew myself with a music type of genre as i enjoy listening to music in my spare time and i don't think I have been through a day without listening to it. I then drew some headphones on my head and music notes around me to show im listening to music. I then drew me holding a phone with a spotify app to show what music app I listen too. I drew a radio with music notes to show I listen to the latest music of the radio. I then just drew a TV with a music video playing so that It also shows again im interested in music. We then had to think about what media preferences someone would make if they stereotyped me that I liked music. I thought of an iPod, music albums, I tunes vouchers and musical films. All related to music.
