EXAM QUESTION: What techniques do your chosen texts use to effectively target and maximise their online audiences? (30) Refer to both Zoella and Attitude. social media has made it easier to change online audiences over time. one way that it has change is by the way the audience interacts with the online audience, over time the audiences have became content creators themselves.

Via Zoella's Site, we can see that through her latest blogs containing themes of 'revenge porn' but also self-care items that have a large demographic of subjects to cater to her original audience but also new audiences, she represents herself as a feminine oriented mature blogger. Through the use of colours such as pinks, she has branched away from keeping Zoella as her brand, which is shown from the multiple appearances of 'Team Zoella' connoting multiple members instead of Zoella as an individual, reinforced by the links to her Zoella Instagram account and her personal account. This is further strengthened by the use of colours such as pinks. At the beginning of her tube channel, however, we can see that she initially introduced herself as the traditional young adult female and at this time with less attention of her brand creates a personal connection with her audience as they can easily relate to her, helping her to expand her audience and also attracting an ...

Classic crime genre concepts are introduced at the beginning of the episode as the main character Sam and officers raid a suspected murder house immediately creating a mystery as they are nowhere to be seen before a chase scene and competent interviewing of the perpetrator until Sam is in the past as they interview another suspect who becomes more of an investigation as DCI Gene In the past, and the other police are portrayed as politically incorrect, Sam already has an idea of the perpetrator from the latest facts subverting modern norms of crime, but also sticks to other conventions such as the mystery and solves it by the end of the episode that links to the Genre Theory of Steve Neale as the genre shifts over time and has sci-fi conventions It's like the idea of him being in a coma. The most opposite present in the episode is the contradictions between the main characters Sam and Gene as they argue over what to do with the mystery in the episode as Sam acts like he di...
