 Audience

1)The target audience for the doctor who franchise is a family and it has been the target audience up until this day where family is still the main audience.

2)a Psychographic group that may enjoy Doctor Who is the middle class and middle aged people and people who are interested in science fiction.

3)Audience pleasures that are offered by watching an unearthly child is nostalgia which a much older audience into days age may see and see someone around their age group and with them also seeing how old the tardis is.

4)additional uses and gratifications that would be provided to a modern 2020 audience is the information and history that they get from the episode and to a older audience some of the things hinted in the episode may have come to pass in the modern era which gives a lot of nostalgia

5)the audience will feel vicarious pleasure as the modern audience will see the tardis as something they have never seen before.

Industry

1)The television industry in 1963 was very limited and only had two channels which were the BBC and itv and you could only watch a show once so if the episode fined there was no catch up or Iplayer.

2) Doctor Who is a important franchise for the BBC because it is a family TV show which all people can enjoy and it is a top grossing show which gives revenue to other countries and it has some of the most loyal fan also known as Whovian's.

3)Doctor who meets the BBC mission statement to inform by it being a sci-fi teaching their audience about time and space also to inform them about future events that could happen.

4)The BBC is funded by an annual TV licence fee which is the money that goes back to them for people paying a TV licence fee.

5) the BBC is regulated by Ofcom and the watershed is the time where all adult viewing must be shown after 9 pm.

Industry 

1) The objective of the BBC 3 at launch was to focus on teens and to show specific shows for teens

 1)Total mark:14   Grade:3 WWW-question 1.3 shows what you are capable of-not far off the top level.if you can reach that level of consistency you will make real progress. EBI- revision revise intertextuality and narrative theory. -Q2 is the major weakness:you need much more for a 20-mark essay.focus on the question and give detailed example from the csps. 2) intertextuality is when a media text references another media text. 3)narrative features are used to communicate meaning with camera work when Aprils eyes glow a bright colour through out  the episode.also the sound which is non-digetic music in the scene with April attacking her father and it means the audience can hear it but the actors can't creating tension. Narrative features also communicate meaning with mise-en-scene and props with April's knives which communicate to the audience that something dangerous is going to happen or a fight is going to happen. 4)

Magazines blog assessment

 1)A magazine convention is what we commonly see on a magazine. For example we see a key convention in the Tatler magazine which is cover lines on the bottom of the central image in bold which is their for us to get an idea of the magazine. 2)The front cover of the Tatler magazine uses media language to appeal to their target audience because they denotate that they are talking about high end things for example when they say 'she looks good in pearls' showing the literal meaning that they cater to people who are more wealthy. they also use use a colour scheme which is constant throughout the whole magazine and is a simple colour scheme of gold and pink and also have a serif fonts on their letters.it also gives identification and it looks appealing as well.

Doctor who:language and representation

social and historical context 1)An unearthly child reflects the social and historical contexts of the 1960's by the typical way of how men where shown to have more power and status over women and we see this with when the doctor completely ignores what Barbra wright says to him. 2)Audiences might react in a way where they may be scared at least for a lower class background or a audience may be confused and may not understand what science fiction is. Language and close-textual analysis 1)The Tardis scene where the doctor and the teachers are trapped are trying to find a way out but the doctor still seems to be a cunning and evil villain. In this scene we see lots of narrative in this scene wit the use of the Todorov-equilibrium theory the mystery of where Susan lived.Also the disequilibrium is now provided with the teachers being trapped. Also in the first scene we learn a lot about the characters and their morals with Susan Foreman dressed like a typical teenage girl in the 1960
