The Media Theoretical Framework and the Nine Forms of Media

The Media Theoretical Framework 

There are 5 areas of the media theoretical framework and they are:
  • Media Language
  • Media Representation
  • Media Industries
  • Media Audience
  • Media Context

  Media Language
Media language is the way in which text is made to connote a meaning for the audience. For example, if you're dressed in a certain colour like white it will connote that you are pure and clean and innocent. However, if you are wearing black it would connote a negative background.

Media Representation 
Media representation is shown in a stereotypical way. For example, in most movies and television programmes the mean girls are always blonde and not smart. It can also be related to religion, ethnicity, sexuality and gender.

Media Industries
The way the media may be promoted or distributed but also it's position in media.

 Media Audience
The way the media forms a target and the way audience is approached. Its the way the audience thinks of the text and the way they respond to it. 

Media Context
This is the basic background information on a piece of media. For example, social, historical or economic.
The Nine Forms of Media

The nine forms of media are very important to us as they are used in our everyday lives, they are:
  • Newspaper
  • Online
  • Television
  • Magazines
  • Radios
  • Music Videos
  • Video Games

PRELIM - Magazine Fonts Mood Board

I have created a mood board which includes mastheads from different magazines. These magazine mastheads have different fonts and colours which makes them special as it is what represents the magazine company. The masthead also makes the magazine noticeable because of the fonts or the colours used to make it eye catching. These mastheads have their colours and fonts because of what sort of magazine they are and who their target audience is. The so share some similarities between each other but it is not always clear to see what they are. For example, if you compare GLAMOUR and GQ you can see by the use of different colours they have a different target audience. The GLAMOUR masthead has the colour pink and this colour is a very stereotypical colour for girls. However GQ has a mixture of two colours and they do not use the same colours most of the time. The colours they use for their magazine depends on who their target audience is for that magazine. This shows that their similar...

PRELIM - Introduction and Initial Ideas

Hi, my name is Anita and welcome to my blog. This blog will consist of my work during GCSE Media Studies. We are currently studying magazines and our brief is to design a magazine front cover and a contents page about fashion for 14-18 years. I have been given the chance to create this from my choice which will feature items and information from my own perspective. I am very excited to start creating the front cover and contents page as I could be able to relate to it since it is a fashion magazine. I am hoping to go into deeper research with my work and can understand the different views of fashion that people have. I am looking forward to making these as I will be able to learn new techniques that will be useful for my studies. A worry that I have is that in the past i have used Photoshop but it has been a few years since I have used it but I am hoping to learn everything again and make this magazine look successful. At the moment I do not have ideas set for this magazine a...
