- Plane Crash - disruption
- Theories > audience + audience response
Audience
Most media texts target a range of different audiences, how true is this for your chosen texts?
Lost
- use of ensemble cast
- creating lost as a hybrid genre(post modern) > thriller, action, fantasy, sci-fi(wider audience)
- narrative structure > flashback
- use of neutral location within the narrative
- use of enigma code > music, camera angle, arguing etc cliff hanger.
The use of enigma codes
- controls what te audience see's or knows
- proceed to solve whilst gaining the ettention and interest
- when recognised audience gains pleasure
