Key Theorists - Powerpoint and Mrs McD-H handed out colour booklets

Since media began people have commented and theorised on what influence it has, what messages it sends and how people interact with it.

below is a link to a slide share of the key theorists we will cover:

  • Laura Mulvay- the male gaze
  • Bell Hooks - colour codes
  • Stuart Hall- the native
                    the slave
                    the clown
  • Audience reception theory- prefered reading
  • The hypodermic needle theory
  • Moral panic

this guide can take what ever form you like, can include examples to help me understand and needs to be posted on your blog by the end of the week.
