Task 3 LO1: Purpose and uses of social media channels

The media product I will be analysing is Skyfall, a James Bond film released in 2012. 

Skyfall is a James Bond film that was released in July, 2012. The genre is action so the target audience for the film will be a male, mainstream audience as the James Bond films are popular and well known. Additionally, boys seem to prefer action films over girls as the protagonist is often male so they can try and imagine them as the hero. The purpose of the film is to try and entertain its audience through fast pace, thrilling fighting. There is also a plot to the film for the audience to follow so they can better understand the story throughout the film. The production company for Skyfall is Eon Production, they have produced many other James Bond films and continued the franchise with the addition of Skyfall. Skyfall was distributed across the world as it is part of well known, global franchise. It can be accessed on many services for example Amazon Prime Video and Hulu. This makes it easy for the audience as all they need to do is to log into their accounts and it is there available to watch.

The long tail theory tells us that we access an infinite amount media due to the impact of social media and the internet.

For example, in someone wanted to buy a CD from HMV then they have maybe the top 20 available to them but now you can access the music from a whole plethora of artists thanks to how social media allows smaller artists to post music for people to hear. Due to social media we can now share comments about artists or films.

Explain why personnel should be mindful of what they put on social media?

Personnel should be mindful about what they put on social media as it can result in the person losing their job if they harshly criticise the company they work for or the job they do. This is the case for Kaitlyn Walls as she posted on Facebook that she hates being around kids and hated her job role as a employee in a day care centre. Subsequently, the day care centre fired her from her job understandably as you don’t want someone working in that environment who doesn’t want to be there. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/05/04/day-care-employee-fired-for-facebook-post-noting-she-hates-being-around-a-lot-of-kids/
