4) What was the last TV programme or film you watched?

The last TV programme I watched was called "Insatiable."


5) Why do you think that TV programme or film appealed to an audience?
I think the TV programme appealed to an audience because it is to do with a girl who was obese but then lost weight,she thought life was going to be easier but it was the same life she had before.It shows the audience that whatever your appearance life wont change ,the only way to change is it to make good choices in life.

6) What technology have you used to access the media in the last 24 hours? (Radio, TV, phone etc.)
I have used Computer and phone

9) Why was the casting of Jodie Whittaker a significant moment in the history of Doctor Who?

 Jodie Whittaker is a significant cast of the Doctor who franchise as she is the first women to portray the doctor.This subverts female  stereotypes as women too are capable of being the lead role in movies,which is predominately a male dominated role.

 10) What aspects of this scene do you think an audience might enjoy? List at least three things and explain why the audience would enjoy each aspect. 

 A aspect of this scene a audience might enjoy is the change in protagonist because this lets the audience know that everything is going to be different .This is because everyone is different therefore Jodie Whittakers is probably going to be quite different from the previous doctor.

Another aspect of this scene a audience might enjoy is the Dialogue because the words that were spoken by the previous doctor could influence the audience to be like the person the doctor is speaking of.

Another aspect of this scene a audience might enjoy is the Cliff Hanger because it makes the audience wonder what is about to happen and if she lives as she is thrown out of the box into space .Therefore this makes them curious and make them keep watching.
