Audience TheoryAudience theory provides a starting point for many Media Studies tasks. Whether you are constructing a game or analysing one, you will need to consider the destination of that media text (i.e. its target audience) and how that audience (or any other) will respond to that media text.

Remember that a media text in itself has no meaning until it is read or decoded by an audience.
You’ve learned how audience is described and measured. Now you need a working knowledge of the theories which attempt to explain how an audience receives, reads and responds to a media text.

The audience receive an intravenous injection of a media text, either positive or negative and are stimulated into a response.
This is a short-term effect and the audience is seen as passive and maleable.

Someone sensitised is more likely to commit a violent act as it is not seen as an extraordinary action. Again, the audience is seen as passive.

Reception Theory
Extending the concept of an active audience still further, in the 1980s and 1990s a lot of work was done on the way individuals received and interpreted a text, and how their individual circumstances (gender, class, age, ethnicity) affected their reading.

Audience Theory – Active Models
Reception Theory
This theory points out that meaning of any media text is created by the audience - not the producer. Meaning is encoded into the media text but it is up to the audience what they take from it depending how they decode the signs within the text. Broadly speaking the audience can arrive at one of three readings:
