Demographics


 The term demographics relates to how an audience is categorized based on aspects like age, gender, sexuality, culture, social class, and race or ethnicity. Media industries that are putting out a product spend a considerable time analyzing demographics in order to be able to identify the groups of people who are most likely going to be purchasing or giving money towards their product. In the photo that can be seen above there is a series of four media products. Along with my work group we were tasked to categorize the demographics for each of these films. We choose to split the work by each of us completing one section. My section was the first row "A Quiet Place Part 2" In this film the age group 13-25 years of age are likely to view this product because majority of the characters showcased were young people and what they experienced being young in the movie's plot. The storyline consists of 2 siblings going through the horrors of having their home invaded by foreign creatures and watching their family be torn apart. The genders targeted were both men and women. Although the film focuses on a mother and her 2 children the most, it still shares perspectives of men in the film. Additionally, the hardships that each character went through were hardships that anybody could endure not just one specific gender, which led me to the conclusion that the targeted gender could be all inclusive. this film product appeals to American culture and middle-class citizens because it shows average people being affected and the race is all inclusive.

The things that I have learned so far have impacted the way I perceive or consume media products. It made me stop and think about all the codes and marketing strategies etc. that I have somehow never paid much attention to or noticed. It helps me digest the world differently. Media studies have so far taught me the importance of understanding how the media is used to engage audiences.      What I hope to get out of the experience of learning media studies is generating a basic understanding of how media affects me and how I can apply to know those skills to my soon adult/career life. I would like to be able to break down certain media pieces to interpret them and respond or react accordingly. Some of the media I consume on the daily basis include social media, prin...

Setting, Set Design, and Props Preliminary Exercise

 Production Design  Production design is the overall visual look or aesthetic of a story. There are different factors that make up production design in a movie including setting, set design, and props. These three contribute greatly to the overall feel the audience decodes.
