The uses of media to get pleasure
Audience theory, why we watch media...
Personal Identification - Feel like the media relates to you in someway
Information - Facts and learning from it
Entertainment - Just entertains and makes you feel good
Social Interaction - Gives you something to talk about
Normally when I watch a film it is for personal identification and information for example i watch a lot of documentaries and biographical films, the problems and the thoughts provoked from what you see are what provide personal identification and information for me.
Of course there are times when you just want pure entertainment with a film so I turn to blockbuster films or now more than ever Wes Anderson Films because I find it is like being told a story which is just nice.
Then there are some films that are just to talk about for example the bond films that come out, or Interstellar. These films that are massive that your friendship group talks about, you see it with them and then you talk to everyone about it again.
