Media Theories are incorporated into movies a lot and they play an important role. Some people think why are media theories so important? Media theories help us to understand why the movie was made, how the audience reacted to the movie, and also what is the theme of the movie or what message it is trying to convey. It helps directors and movie makers to make the films better because they have an understanding of the audience. It helps them to make audiences more interested and think more about the movie rather than just watching the movie. It helps them to see the morals, themes or a message that they are trying to point out.
I also want to incorporate a theory in my film opening and I will use the Uses and Gratifications Theory. This theory basically says why people watch certain types of media. It says that audiences are active viewers and they pick the films or media because it will be something that will entertain them. The audience doesnt just watch whatever but something that will entertain them in a certain way. Some will watch to relax, some for entertainment and others for thrills. I think this will fit my action genre because a lot of people watch this to escape their lives and entertain themselves. I will use funny moments, some serious scenes and etc. to keep the audience engaged using the theory. Overall, Uses and Gratifications will be a perfect fit for my movie and I will use this theory to keep my audience on the edge of their seats and enjoying the opening scene.
A movie that incorporates the media theory Uses and Gratifications well is The Truman Show because in this we can see that people in the film are actually choosing to watch the truman show for entertainment and to just escape and relax.
