Industry and audience power essay

As a result of the internet I think audiences have a stronger power to some extent than they used to but also the industries have some power due to producing whereas audience really controls the sales and viewing rates of the media product. In my opinion the internet definitely makes the audience way more powerful than 20 years ago. The changes in the music industries have had a drastic change for audiences, some of the changes include; streaming applications, for example spotify, YouTube, music and soundclound these streaming devices have increased the easier abilities for audiences to listen to music which also increase the rate of views on music to.

  Current mark: 5 Approximate grade: 5 WWW: This is a clear statement of intent with a good idea for a TV drama sequence that meets the science fiction/fantasy genre brief.

It is also the reading when people disagree with the advert and preferred reading. 3) In the trailer Harry Brown want the audience to feel like the teens are a threat and dangerous, he wants the audience to feel as if the teens are the evil or bad guy in the film e.g. the use of weapons and language used but also the clothes they are wearing and the body language. 4)People or teens may reject this mindset and have an oppositional reading because they don't believe the stereotype that ALL teens are a threat to vulnerable people and that teens are dangerous murders. 5) The preferred reading for the McDonald's advert is for the audience to see or watch it and to want to buy and eat t
