Entertainment 

2. Jean's husband Gordon was an astronaut and was accepted for the Apollo 13 mission, but he fell ill at the time of the launch and couldn't go. He switches on the TV and sees that the science fiction film Apollo 13 is on. He decides to watch it.
Information or identity 

3. Jean and Gordon have two children, two teenage girls named Alice and Poppy. All their friends are going to the cinema to see the latest science fiction (fantasy) film - The Hunger Games. Everyone is talking about it and they just have to see it, so they can discuss it with their friends.
Relationships

Are aliens good or bad?
A good alien is E.T. because he didn't hurt anyone and he just wanted to go home.
A bad alien is the aliens in The War of the Worlds because they came to earth and attacked people. 
The hypodermic needle model theory:
This theory states that people listen/watch/read media texts and believe every part of every media message they are told. They consume it like a drug straight to the brain. It is the effect of brainwashing someone. If the hypodermic needle model is to be believed, then audiences are passive.

Uses and gratifications:
Jay Blumler and Elihu Katz developed an audience theory that allows us to see what people 'do' with their media rather than what the media does to them.

  • Entertainment - diversion or escape from day-to-day routines
  • Relationships - where they use the 'text' to form relationships with others, e.g. online communities, discussion with friends.
  • Information - learning about the world, learning new things.
  • Identity - where the 'text' helps you to identify with something and to reinforce your own values.
