Uses and Gratifications theory: Blumler and Katz
Surveillance: to fulfill my surveillance
needs I watch programs such as the news and follow social media feeds such as
Buzzfeed and for music news I follow NME on twitter and I pick up a magazine
once a week. All of this information is factual and gives me a greater
understanding of the world we live in or a specific topic.
Personal identity: the media texts that I
consume to confirm my personal identity and texts that identify with are
Personal relationships: I watch many
programs where I feel that over time I have grown to know the characters, for
example peep show, parks and recreation, skins and gossip girl.
Diversion: I consume a various media texts
to provide me with escapism, for example I would watch the film the grand
Budapest hotel by Wes Anderson to switch off from the real world as films
directed by Wes Anderson often have an other worldly feel because the sets are
so aesthetically pleasing and the attention to detail is incredible.
