Analysing Hawaii-Five-O

1. The features of Hawaii-Five-O that suggest it is a TV crime drama are the lighting, music,sound effects, character types and settings.

2. The sub genres of the programme could be adventure, mystery and action.

3. Hawaii Five o is split into three different sections. At the beginning Jin is kidnapped and taken to prison, he meets people and starts talking to them. After a while the fire alarm goes off and everyone is looking for Jin, his name is said through the intercom and he is described by the police so other prisoners can try and spot him and work out who he is.  This suggests that is was a mysterious case as it is structured to encourage the audience to watch the program. At the beginning it is really quiet and calm with not much going on, it is at an equilibrium. In the middle of the episode there is a lot of disruption as they are trying there best to find Jin and the kidnapper, they tackle him to the ground in order to get out of him where Paul is but he doesn't say anything. They threaten him and find his phone. At the beginning of the episode Jin is kidnapped and was panicking of what was going on around him. Later on in the episode they shoot people to try and find him and know of his location. They eventually find him and take him to the hospital. This also links to Roland Barthes Action Codes as there was a lot of action happening in the episode for example body action, the way Jin's friend was using body language attracted the audience as they would want to continue watching the episodes to see why she was acting like that. There were a variety of enigma codes such as mysteries for example investigating the kidnapper. This allowed the audience to continue guessing what was going on further.

Adverts 2

This is an example of an advert that uses open text as is could be open to interpretation. However, the caption anchors the meaning into place. It is almost saying why have other brands of chocolate that aren't as tasty when you can buy Galaxy which is around the same price with much higher quality and taste. It brings you into a different world of happiness.





Intertextuality is used is Shrek. For example in the opening Honeymoon scene , Fiona wipes the mud off Shrek while he hangs upside down just like Mary-Jane kisses Spiderman.  In the film there is a lot of Intertextuality and references to characters from different Disney films. This Intertextuality makes the film more familiar to the audience especially the young children who would know these characters and these characters are used to intertwine with the story lines. Sleeping Beauty may not look like the Disney original but in Shrek she is always portrayed as tired, Rapunzel has the long hair, Snow White is accompanied with her seven dwarves, Cinderella wears glass shoes and the Ugly Sister is ugly. These intertextual references repeat in all the Shrek films to familiarize the characters with the audience. 

Media Types

1) Snapchat

In my opinion I think the target audience for Snapchat is anywhere in the range from 10-50. Current demographics show that nearly 80% of its users are between the ages 18-24, it is used widely by both males and females of all races, ethnicities, and social backgrounds and is an easy way to interact with the rest of the world which is why it is so popular with the younger generation. It appeals to young people because it is a fun way to text and interact with your friends and also instantly upload what you're doing by the minute and also view where other people are.

2) Facebook

The target audience for Facebook is mainly people 30+, this has been proven in a recent survey which shows 65% of Facebook users are 35 or over of which 5.6 million women and 5.6 million men were using Facebook in January 2018. Facebook has always been diverse and that the diversity has increased significantly over the past year to the point where U.S. Facebook users nearly mirror the diversity of the overall population of the country. This is why many people currently do and will continue using Facebook to interact instead of other forms of Social Media. Facebook appeals to a large age range of people as it offers a positive image of someone or the type of person they want to be.

3) WhatsApp

WhatsApp Messenger is a free application downloaded by several smartphone and tablet users.  The target audience for WhatsApp is between 15-50+ this is because the app allows the sending and receiving of text messages, voice & video calls, images, documents and user location which is what makes it successful as many people of a large age range use the application for their own personal use. It is used all over the world and approximately 55 billion text messages and one billion videos are sent on the app every single day.

It is very diverse which makes people from many different countries read and buy each issue of the magazine. For example, in December 2016 there was an issue released which had women from many different backgrounds and cultures, which made people applaud its diversity. Stereotypically, women are more into gossip and scandal and therefore more women buy the magazine than men.
