Uses and gratifications theory

In today's lesson we learned about the uses and gratifications theory, and how it applies in today's society. Understanding why we watch/seek out media and why we actively challenge what we see in the media. We learnt about the representations of sexuality, gender, social class, ethnicity, disability, regional identity and age and how different films and aspects of the media show stereotypes in different ways. We also learnt a simple way of what mise-en-scene means.
