The gratifications of the medium of film (Prezzi presentation with film)

The presentation below focuses on the gratifications that people get out of media texts and primarily of those films. The presentation focuses on the diffrent gratification aspects and what genre of films tie into these gratifications. An example used in the presentation is the gratification of escapism which ties into the genre of either Sci-Fi or Fantasy. These movies are unrealistic to our normal day to day lives and so allow us to be engaged with their world and lose yourself within in it. An example of a film which illustrates escapism really well would be the Star Wars series or the Harry Potter series. Stars Wars is a Sci-Fi movie so therefore people are engaged and lose themselves within the film.

The presentation further reinforces the gratifications used in the target audience that it is aimed at through the use of images and videos to illustrate the point. An example of a video used to illustrate this is a short clip  from David Attenboroughs Planet Earth. This video both informs as well as educates it's audience. This therefore shows evidence of the gratifications that film/ a documentary can give us.
