Task 3 What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Stuart Hall’s ‘Reception Theory’ idea regards audiences interpreting and reading media texts in a variety of different ways. These may be negotiated readings, preferred or oppositional.These denotative and connotative readings can be applied to our text because our feedback referred to a variety of different interpretations and difference in feedback. 

All our feedback members noted how the material was dark and portrayed a complicated relationship between the two characters. People also mentioned how there were religious elements encoded into the product, but weren't entirely sure of the reasoning behind this. Perhaps we should have made the religious significance clearer to the audience. 

On the JINCARS scale, I believe our audience members would have been Group C1 (Non Manual) and Group C2 (manual). They are intelligent enough to decode the meaning from the source.
