Clay Shirky / LNHW Socials

-

 Advantages of services like Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix, Disney+ so forth is that they don't need to show live news.

  • A) It's expensive. 
  • B) It would take a political POV, meaning it would alienate potential subscribers.
  •  C)  If you dont /have/ to do pay for either of the above, why would you.

 The BBC however does not need to make money in the same respect as other media producers and distributors. 

Digitally integrated and digitally convergent media platforms

Media synergy - When two things gel and work together immensely well. For example, the BBC distributing properties such as Louie Theroux on Netflix is an example of digital synergy and allows the BBC to 'pull' in new, younger audiences.

Clay Shirky - The End Of Audience

'Due to innovations in technology, audiences have effectively become the producer.'


Many are of the opinion Shirky speaks with a lot of fluff, and his theories don't really stick. That he is simply talking about Henry Jenkins' Fandom theory with another lick of paint.


LNWH on Twitter:


Overrun by people from A-Level media, having a  laugh about it.

A hospital with the same acronyms.

From these two things, we are proven without a doubt that the show is by design for a niche audience and far from overly popular.

The use of bricolage Intertextuality - Where a media product or text makes reference to another media product or text.   Bricolage - Where a media product is constructed with iconography and conventions from many other texts , creating entirely new meanings. Often used when discussing postmodern media products. An example of a media product  that uses bricolage is a 'mashup'. For an excellent example of bricolage, check out Quentin Tarantino’s  Kill Bill  (2003) What specific elements of iconography did the producers of  Formation  use from  That B.E.A.T ? Throughout the song we hear a secondary voice to Beyonce's of a male rapper, assumingly considering his dialect and so forth a representative of the niche 'bounce' genre of music native to New Orleans. We see the prominent  featuring of a dance, again clearly referrential towards the bounce community, with the anchorage pretty evidently announcing pride to the people of New Orleans and their nuan

Differences between film and music video: M inimum run-time for a music video is 3 minutes . M inimum run-time for a full-length feature film is 90 minutes . M usic videos arent held with the expectation of a fully fledged narrative. F ilm is usually auteur'ed by a director, who isnt likely to star in their own picture, but music videos are often created by an external film maker than the artist of the song itself usually as an advertisement for an album and featuring the artist- but some, more akin to the 'Riptide' music video are more abstract in their structuring.

  Explore how codes and conventions are used to construct meaning in the theatrical poster for the film Midsommar (2019) Why unconventional? Directors might feel that audiences have become bored with the conventions of the Horror film genre, and seek to offer them something different. This is for purely financial reasons, as it allows the producer to potentially target new audiences. This conforms to Steve Neale's genre theory. Films must strike a balance between repetition and difference.  The white serif font implies a sense of purity, goodness and sophistication. This reinforces that this film is in stark juxtaposition to pre-existing films within the horror genre, and may appeal to an older more sophisticated horror audience. The poster is immediately unconventional due to its colour palette choice. It's lack thereof conventional horror poster elements such as black or red. The colourful, brightly lit image and aesthetic of the piece stands in stark binary opposition to the
