radio 1 live lounge course work 2.

Song Title & Band/Artist: WHAM Last Christmas.
Target Audience (age/gender/nationality/social grade):


Representation Theory/Quote
Lyrics that support this theory
Laura Mulvey (1975) argued women in the media are used as; ‘Erotic objects of desire for males on screen and in the audience,’ (Mulvey, 1975).


Gauntlett (2002) argues males in the media still follow traditional stereotypes as they are shown as, ‘Alpha males who control the action with violence,’ (Gauntlett, 2002).

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart, A man undercover but you tore me apart.
Mackillon argues something slightly difference, ‘Males are now shown as sexual objects of desire who are more concerned with image,’ (Mackillon, 2002).


Stanley Hall argues youths are; ‘depressed’ and are likely to seek excitement through; crime, sex, drink/drugs,’ (Hall, 1904).

But you still catch my eye, tell me baby do you recognise me?
 Dick Hebdige (1988) argued youths are stereotyped as mixed metaphors of; “Youth as fun,” and “Youth as trouble maker.”


Richard Butsch (1992) who says working class males in the media are presented as; "Incompetent and ineffectual, often a buffoon, well-intentioned but dumb. In almost all working-class series, the male is flawed, some more than others..







How does non diegetic and diegetic sound attract the target audience?
It attracts the audience because of the lyrics. The lyrics that fit the theories such as the alpha male theory. That attracts the target audience because men in that situation can relate to the lyrics and it could make them like the song more.
