Media Theory

There are many different media theories, but the one I will be focusing on today is the "Uses & Gratifications Theory". This theory states that people watch media for different purposes. Some to learn and some to be entertained. To incorporate this theory I will make the film cinematic and visually engaging. I will do this by including camera filters, quick cuts, and dramatic camera angles. This will engage the audience more and make them want to stick around. Then I will also include historical references such as authentic props. These could be his train cart and newspapers. When I balance the two different purposes that people have of watching I can create a film that is more engaging to watch for people.
