Responses with case studies

Negotiated-

A negotiated view is when an audience react to something and they agree with some parts or most parts but they change it more to suit them. All adverts fall into this category for one person or another as people want adverts to suit them and not just be buy buy buy. Any advert could be used as an example for this as someone will have a negotiated perspective to it.

Preferred-

A preferred view is when the audience completely agrees with something and what that something is trying to put across. This view is useful when promoting food and skin care products as they want the buyer to love the product, think it's exactly what they need and so on. Some adverts even try and in-plant this into the mind sneakily by repeating the word yes when the actor/ actress is using the product

Oppositional-

An oppositional view is when an audience reacts to something and they are completely opposed to it, an example to this is the documentary "Super Size Me" which looks at the un-healthiness of McDonald's food and is opposed to what they say about their meals.

Participatory-

In a participatory response the audience alter and modify the advert to suit them and are involved in the creating process of the advert, a good example of this is test groups when a new product is coming out, Dove usually does this so they can promote their product, depending on what the test group say, the advert changes (well, it's supposed to)

Cultural competence-

Cultural competence is when an audience reacts to something whilst regarding a certain culture, be it someone else's or their own. An example of this is seen in 2007 when Capcom released a trailer for resident evil 5, this made a lot of the general public react to it in a bad way as the main characters are shooting black zombies. The creators, Capcom, did not even know the video would be seen as racist as they did not see it as a bad thing as racism never came into the equation. As the game is set in Africa the zombies would most likely be black and so on.

Fan culture-

Fan culture is when groups of people make a culture to do with a certain fandom or groups of fandom the most popular ones in this day and age are cosplay where people dress as their favorite characters or fan-fiction where people create stories based on character with-in a certain book or game and so on or use characters of their own creation and put them into the same world as current characters and have them meet with the original characters or go on journeys of their own and so on.

How I intend to target the desired audience for my report: Modes of address.

Modes of address:
In my report I will be relax and not have a set script just a list of points I will talk about, this will allow my report to sound more relaxed as I'm relying on improvisation.

I will use language that I usually use as I am aiming the report at people the same age as me so I will just be speaking normally.

The content of the report will target the audience because it is what I am interested in, as my target audience are people like me. I am using an animated representative due to the fact that my target audience is people who

How I intend to target the desired audience for my report: Visual Imagery.

Visual Imagery:
I will use Images in the centre of my animation, these images will relate to what I am saying about the Pokemon, for example, for the aesthetics it will be a simple picture of the Pokemon but for stats I will have another image underneath the main image with the Pokemon's base stats. The original image will have change by then.

The images will be in the centre of the page to draw attention to that image so the focus stays on that image, my character will hardly move so that the attention stays on the image.

Key words I say may be put on the right hand side of the screen to make my point seem more apparent, this will most likely be in big black bold block capitals.


How I intend to target the desired audience for my report: Technical Codes.

Technical Codes:
The general colour of the animation will be bright and current. This will make my animation more interesting and absorbing. If I choose colour it will most likely be yellow, green or blue. If, on the other hand, I choose a wallpaper, it must be focused on Pokemon and nothing else. If possible it will be focused on the newest generation of Pokemon.

I edit the animation to make it fast paced and so it will not drag on. when I am describing a Pokemon it will go in this pattern:

Name
What tier they should go in
Explain why because of:
Move pool
Abilities
Stats

Then I shall repeat this

How I intend to target the desired audience for my report: Genre.

Genre:
I intend to have either a clear background or a background to do with Pokemon. My computer representative will be to the left of the screen, in the centre will be images to do with what I'm talking about, my character will move occasionally when explaining things and the images will change to relate  what I'm talking about.

As I am targeting people my age I will try and make the images follow the pattern I would approve. These images will be pictures of the Pokemon, pictures of there stats and maybe some general pictures to fit in with what I'm saying.

How I intend to target the desired audience for my report: Narrative.

Narrative:
I intend to keep an interesting narrative, In this report i am going to tier some Pokemon and explain why I have put them in these tiers. The tiers are OU, UU, RU and NU going by Smogon's teiring system. Each Pokemon will be rated on their own move pool, abilities and stats. OU stands for Over Used, these Pokemon are the most common Pokemon seen in standard battling, this is due to a large move pool, high stats for bulking or for sweeping or a extremely useful ability. In previous Gen games these Pokemon are Garchomp and Gengar. As the tiers go down it could be because the Pokemon lacks a lot in a certain field or it starts to decrease generally. As it decreases the Pokemon go from Under Used, Rarely Used and Never Used.

OU:

Aegislash




















Goodra

















UU:

Malamar





















RU:

Pangoro


















NU:

Avalugg
