Audience Theory

Blumler and Katz's Uses and Gratifications Theory are used within our film trailer. The theory suggests that people choose to consume media texts to please themselves for reasons such as, to educate, to inform, to be entertained, to facilitate social discussion, for aspiration and personal development. Our trailer is specifically for entertainment and social discussion.  It entertains the audience as it involves actors of their age as well as mystery to what has happened to one of the main characters.  It encourages social discussion as the audience may speculate about who is to blame when Faye goes missing, this will intrigue the audience as they will want to watch the full film to see who is the culprit.
