Fandom Theory - Henry Jenkins A fandom is a collection of people who form communities based on their love for media texts  such as movies, books, music and etc .  A fandom is different with regular fans, as the shows that they like would define their personality either on a physical form like through clothing or mentally through action or behavior. Some fandoms might even make their own media texts based on their favorite shows, this is usually called fan fictions and people who create them are called PROSUMERS. Fandoms Summarized:  Semiotic Productivity: Fans understand the meanings behind the media text.  Enunciative Productivity: 'fanspeak' Fans sharing  the product to other people, styling the same way as the characters. Textual Productivity: Prosumers ( fan who makes their own media texts ) content like Fan Fiction.

David Gauntlett 1. We get SOME of our identity from the media. But most is still influenced from outside the media 2. In the past, representations are simple. Now, representations are complex.  Four Factors Fluidity -   People do not have fixed personality, it changes through time Constructed - The mass media constructs identities through representation that it shows us. Which influences on how the audience view things Negotiated - How we feel to the various representations that are given, Do we agree with them or go against them? Collective - Beings inside of a community, group or fandom in the media can shape our identity as well.  Case Study - Andrew Tate A professional kick boxer, turned internet star / influencer who gained famed a couple of months ago do to His, comments, actions and 'manly' persona.

Reality > Media Gatekeeper > Public Agenda > Policy Agenda > Media Agenda  Common Stories The Killing of Indonesian Brigadier General of Police.  The Media and Authorities have blamed Ferdy Sambo, a General of Police to be the main suspect.  In the Media, He is accused with the death sentence or life imprisonment On other News Websites 170 Police personnel was deployed for the Trial and A further 6 suspects were accused with obstruction for the killing.    How are the stories framed The Brigadier General story is framed in a bad way for the suspects, accusing Him of the doing something very bad enough to get Him a possible death penalty.

These people are seen as "FOLK DEVILS". As a result, society as a whole would see them on a worse way, to the point of canceling.  3. Consensus: Happens almost at the same time with Hostility and In this part, The event would take over the narrative. Where the news would constantly talk about it, Movies or films would be made based on it and Everyone would be discussing it.  4. Disproportionally:  Often wise, the event would be exaggerated by the media, Making the audience feel like it is more serious and dangerous than what it actually is. They do this, by adding unnecessary remarks, untruthful facts and frankly lies to get the audience riled up.  5. Volatility:  As a result of all of these controversies, The Government conduct a change that would fix the problem. But in most cases, the problem would just be forg

Week 1 Theory We did the Representation Theory where we saw two ads, One of Water Aid and One for Yakult. In that ads we have to identify the representations made and the massage the producer is trying to show to the audience. We were Introduced to the Post Colonialism Theory who was made by Paul Gilroy. In simple terms, the theory is a way for people ( usually westerners ) to control the media to fit or show the best image towards a certain group while making 'others' seem odd or weird. This affects the audience and makes people believe that what we see in the Media is true in reality Project This is when we were first introduced to the Main project of this term ( Term 2 ), Where we have to make a Podcast.

As a result they try to portray themselves in the best light possible within the media but at the same time, portraying 'other' groups as inferior, mysterious and uncivilized. This effects what audience thinks, making them feel as if the Europeans are more powerful and better.  Example Conform: The final? and latest addition for the Iconic spy and secret agent for the British Intelligence Service or M16, James Bond.

A perfect Masculine Icon. The Entire James Bond trilogy had always shared this these traits as a
