Production, Distribution and Exhibition

News corp own a number of companies such as 20th Century Fox. Three other companies that they own that could be used to market or exhibit a new film realised by 20th Century Fox in the UK;

*BSkyB- They could use Sky TV movie channels to show trailers for the film and interviews with the main characters to attract people to watch it.

*Sunday Times- This newspaper can be used to advertise posters for the film as well as reviews and written stories about the cast and the film.

*Myspace- This website could be used as a promotive tool; to show trailers of the film. It could also be used for viral marketing campaigns.

Mass Audience

Some media texts I consume are films such as dance films, Magazines such a Look, Facebook which is a social network site and the TV, normally soaps. I use these because I find them interesting and because normally I have nothing else/better to do. I read magazines and use the internet for entertainment as well as for social reasons.

I have been influenced by the media a number of times. For example, film trailers have influenced me to watch films such as The Vow. The storyline attracted me and the emotion that it left me with made me want to see it even more. The media has made me form a different opinion on Katie Price as she used to be my idol and she inspired me but how the media has portrayed her, it has made me think negatively of her and changed my thoughts and feelings about her as a person.

I believe that audiences are easily influenced by the media as they are very persuasive and engage a lot of people.
