READINGS

http://www.asos.com/
 I think the audience for this website would be young adults (16-30). The reason for the young audience would be because they are interested in the clothes the website is selling. An opposing reading for this website would be old people as the clothes sold would not appeal to them.

Cultivation Theory

The main points of the cultivation theory are;
-sometimes referred to as the cultivation hypothesis or cultivation analysis
- Cultivation theorists argue that television has long-term effects which are small, gradual, indirect but cumulative and significant.
-Cultivation theory in its most basic form, suggests that television is responsible for shaping, or ‘cultivating’ viewers’ conceptions of social reality.   
-One of the most popular theories that fits this perspective is cultivation theory.
-Cultivation analysis usually involves the correlation of data from content analysis e.g a heavy watcher of horror movies will start to believe that the outside world is a bad place (for example, full of rapist) when it actually isn't bad, they have just been influenced from what they are watching.
-Audience research by cultivation theorists involves asking large-scale public opinion poll organizations to include in their national surveys questions regarding such issues as the amount of violence in everyday life.

Scope and Application
Cultivation research looks at the mass media as a socializing agent and investigates whether television viewers come to believe the television version of reality the more they watch it.

Pre-production



This is part of my pre-production. Here I have created my own magazine cover. I have based it around  female fitness and to help me complete it I looked at a variety of different kinds of fitness magazines.

There are a lot of areas within this magazine which could be worked on and improved to make it look more professional and flow more. One area which could be improved could be the colours as they don't flow as well as I hoped and don't match. So I will think about this when making my final cover and I will make sure that I think more closely about the colours and make sure they flow. A second area which could be improved is the bubble in the bottom left hand side of the cover as it is stands out too much and the writing doesn't naturally look right on the bubble, therefore i will consider this when completing my final cover.

On the other hand some areas on this cover have worked exceptionally well and I am pleased with how they worked out. I am happy about the Masthead as I think it flows well with the main image as the colour matches well with the models shorts. The size of the model and the masthead also work very well with the model slightly covering up some of the masthead. I produced the masthead behind the model and this was a common pattern within the other magazines I looked at. I also think the yellow highlights over the black writing works quite well as it makes one specific word stand out and the colours contrast very well with one another.
