Reception theory- Stuart Halls

This approach focuses on the scope for negotiation and opposition, this means that a text is not simply passively accepted by an audience, but viewers interpret meanings due to their own cultural background and life experiences.
Stuart Hall stressed the role of social positioning in the interpretation of mass media texts by different social groups.
The dominant reading means that the viewer fully accepts the text code.
The negotiates reading means the viewer partly accepts the text code and broadly accepts the preferred reading. 
The oppositional refers to the reader whos social situation places them in a direct oppositional relation to the dominant code.

In our music production we aim to encode the video with the preferred meaning of being able to get through hard situations with independence and not relying on anyone else for happiness, however some viewers may reject this dominant message and take it as something other than how we intended.

Breathe Me- Final piece

We have finally finished our music video, which as you know we did to 'Breathe Me' by Sia, however Savannah our artist recreated it. The SaltSisters worked hard along with Savannah to achieve the look she wanted. The genre we went for was a combination of pop and indie, which I believe combined and worked well in the music video. I am going to upload the video for you all to see, so feel free to comment and give us any feedback, as audience feedback is key to growing and improving in this industry! As always the products never turn out as you picture them in your head, things go wrong, some things work better than others and you generate new ideas and play with different effects along the way. The shot list doesn't look extremely accurate now, however sticking to the original plan completely would be boring and we wouldn't have created the music video we have today if that was the case.We have conducted this task to the best of our ability and believe we have came ou...
