The five reasons that audience chooses different types of media because it in forms and educate people like programs such as David Attenborough wildlife and nature programs which is about protecting the environment and how our planet is important to us to stop the people from destroying it.

​

Also, entertainment informs the audience about different media such as programs like Line of Duty which people watch as they are into crime dramas and investigation.  This shows that the audience can learn about how the police investigate crime and show how they do it.

​

Further on personal identity programs like It’s A Sin informs us about gay people at the time between the late 1980s between the start of the 1990s. The Program is immensely powerful and portrays gay characters who were trying to warn people about aids as some people during the time did not understand about the disease.

​

Integration and social interaction let audience interact a program like daytime shows like Jeremy vine which lets the audience phone up the host and tell about there opinion and debate of how we can talk about the issue and why it is a problem and then discuss it whether the host agrees or not.

  • I thought these screenshots were the best because they stand out really well. 

  • very effective. 

  • The camera angles are right on track

  • evocative 

  • The image conveys loneliness of the character. 

  • The Cameraman managed to lie down on the beach on the stones to focus on the sky and character.

  • The composition of the shots are very similar to each other as the colour stands out very well.

  • There is rule of thirds when we see the character on the stones showing how powerful he is and all mighty and how the screenshot is divided into thirds.

  • The groyne is creating a leading line which is drawing attention from my focus to the central figure of the soldier.

  • The boot and the helmet are very simplistic but effective as they show the power of the human body.
