Four different examples of media text. One for each of the following

Personal Identity: These are all 8 movies, including deathly hallows pt 1 & 2. These count towards personal identity as people can relate with the characters which are shown in the movie. And they may also be able to relate to the situations which are presented in the movie. Those who would take a preferred reading are those who like the magic / sic-fi genres when it comes to film as there are similar elements of these sorts of shows.









Information: This is a magazine which is aimed towards younger people between the ages of 15-25 who are into gaming on a PC. The magazine contains information about upcoming games and tech. Such as 'how to build a PC' or certain strategies for a new games which make them easier. Those who would take a preferred reading to this are those who enjoy gaming on their PC and they also enjoy reading about new tech news which they could need for the future. Those who would take a negotiated reading are those who play games, although it may not be on the PC, or they annoy tech news but aren't interested in information about the new games. Those who would take a oppositional reading are those who don't own a PC or enjoy playing games as they wouldn't understand the terminally which is used in the magazine.

Entertainment:
The inbetweeners movie 1&2. This move is made to be a comedy which uses mostly rude innuendo's which create the comedy in the show. They also use awkward situations in the movies to also add humour. People who would take a preferred reading to this are male teenagers from the ages of 15-20. As most of the characters in the movie are in this age group also, and they will be able to understand allot of the terminology which is used in the movie which people who are older may not be able to understand. Those who would take a negotiated reading are those who are a bit older, maybe the age of 30, as they may have had similar situations when they were a kid but the humour which is used in the movies may not relate to them. Those who would take a oppositional reading would be older women as they wouldn't find the situations and humour which are used in the movies as funny. And they may be against the humour as they find it 'insulting'.

Social interaction: The show called one piece is a show which is animated in Japan. A long running show which currently has 731 episodes. This allows for social interaction as allot of people I know have watched the show, this meaning that we can talk among friend groups about the show and what we will think will happen. Those who would take a preferred reading to the show are those who like animated shows or other TV shows which are similar. Those who would take a Negotiated reading to the show are those who like Cartoons, those who like Movies or TV shows which are based around pirates or super powers. As this show uses them inside. Those who take a oppositional reading are those who don't like animated shows and are not a fan of Pirate related shows.
