Audience Positioning

Positioning the Audience in Films Via Different Shots

Shot-Reverse-Shot: allows the audience to feel a part of a conversation.

POV Shot: allows the audience to see from the perspective of a character.

Birds-Eye Shot: allows the audience to get an overview of the scene from above it. 



Key Terms

Audience Engagement: describes how an audience interacts with a media text. Relates to Stuart Hall's theory of encoding and decoding. 

Audience Expectations: ideas that an audience has before seeing a media text.
