Approaching Media Texts
Media languages
- What does this text say?
- How does it say it?
- What sort of text is it?
Producers and audiences
- How was the text produced?
- By whom, and why was it produced?
- For whom was it produced?
- How did it reach its audiences?
Representation
- What judgements do you make about the
truth/authenticity/accuracy/realism/effectivity of this text?
- What judgements might other people/groups make?
-What can it be said to represent?
