Lol Sisqo what a crap text to study lol. However, i am studying the film 'Shame', which basically no one has heard of. It's not even in the list of Australian texts (1970-1980) on Wikipedia!!

Its not crap LOL. Actually enjoyable! Much better than most texts people are studying. Such as the old ones as "to kill a mocking bird'

[Amnesiac]

Man i'm revising Social Values well - it's so ingraining in my memory now lol. I love cramming for this exam.

[clinton_09]

i hate social values, media influence is my fave than narrative

[Amnesiac]

Really? I hate Narrative, but also like Media Influence. Narrative is just so confusing - the scope of the whole area of study just makes it difficult i think. However, i should be ok in the exam hopefully.

What is the difference between these two dot points in the study design relating to Media Influence.

• communication theories and/or models including
– linear models (which see meaning inherent within a text, waiting to be uncovered)
– semiotic constructivist models (which see meaning as arising from the interaction of a text
with a reader);

• theories of audience, including those that arise out of
– linear communication theories (including hypodermic and uses and gratifications models)
– semiotic models (such as reception studies);

Thanks.

well im not entirely sure. but ill have a go.
the first one is specifically looking at the theories itself. while the second one is looking at how these theories perceive audience members, i.e. passive or active

MEDIA EXAM IS TOMORROW!!!

Who is starting to freak? I haven't yet, but trust me I will!

I don't know what to do today. What are you guys doing?

[Amnesiac]

I'm doing some questions for Media Influence. I'm fine with Social Values but i may go over Narrative a little more. Don't stress Sisqo you know the course so well

[clinton_09]

i'm doing media influence today, like you amnesiac im good with SV and later i'll prob go over narrative

[Amnesiac]

All systems are go then. Good luck for the study; it shouldn't be too hard for you considering that you enjoy Media Influence.
