Effect Theory

The effect theory is what the media does the audience.
The mass usage of the media is renounced to make people fall into the traps of its messaging. It is believed that consumers are Drugged / Hypnotized by the media. This is believed to be seen with the link between more violent TV shows and Violence in the youth. This idea links back to world war two with the idea of propaganda. How people only saw the Germans as bad and  visa-verse in Germany. Propaganda has to be effective if you can make people believe what Hitler was doing was good.
Moving away from WWII this theory has been around since the start of Television in the 50's and 60's when it became more accessible for people to watch.
With every theory there are counter arguments. It is noted as just a theory as there is no real research into whether this is true or not. It is noted that the media can be more helpful than hurtful in today's society. But these thoughts are pressed by the government.
So while seeming plausible it will only remain a theory.  

Poster Textual Analysis - Album Promotion

This is the Poster to promote the album 'Understanding What We've Grown To Be' by the post-hardcore band 'We Came As Romans'. I have placed it next to the album cover so you can see the cohesion between the two. The covers are the same. The poster is the same picture as the album cover, just cropped down.
The poster has some information regarding the album, such as the release date (in this case its already been released), The label, The album name, and of course who wrote it. Also some legal information.
This is an effective piece of prilmary text as the cohesion make the album instantly recognizable to the band after seeing the poster. This shows that cohesion is again important in the music or mainly in the marketing industry. Its the Thought around making it stand out thats very important and if it gets well known enough you wont need the band title.  

Media Priming.

The idea that the things we watch or listen to or read, influence our emotions and behavior. This is important in our media text as we wanted it to influence the emotions, not necessarily the behavior, but we wanted it to reflect today's society and the fact that people can take drastic measures towards things that we take out of proportion.

Poster Textual Analysis - Tour/Concert

This is the Linkin Park Poster for their Minutes to midnight. The most obvious thing at first glance is the band image. This is an obvious image for a poster as fans of the band who have done an slight research into the band will notice them straight off and will be instantly drawn to the poster. The second eye catching thing on the poster is the band name printed straight across the top. This is an instant eye catcher as the have made a cohesion between the style on the poster and the style on  the album cover. This shows that cohesion is a very important factor in band image. It makes for an instantly recognizable piece of prilimanry text, making it both eye catching and informative.
The tour is noticed as being called 'Minutes to Midnight' This is the name of the third studio album by the band. For fans of the album this is a must attend concert as not only will they be playing the whole album and that is noted by the fact they named it after the album.
Thirdly the info is important. When, where, how to book, all the important information you need to get hold of a ticket. As it is all well and good promoting a tour yet if no one can buy a ticket it will all be for nothing.
All these things will make for a successful poster that is both eye catching and informative and you need that in order to promote a successful concert.

Atlantic Records.

Atlantic records are best known for producing Rhythm and Blues, Rock and Roll, Hip-Hop and Jazz. this is the reason I chose this record label to support "Pangean"  as they produce the type of music this band have created.
They are a subsidiary of Warner-Bro's - Seven Arts, which was stated in 1967. They later expanded into the "Rock and Roll" music scene with signing band such as "Cream", "Led Zeppelin", "Yes" and "Foreigner", all of whom are English. Atlantic records played a massive role in popularizing the Genre "Rhythm and Blues" during the period of 1953 - 1954. Atlantic records played a massive role in this movement and lead "Rhythm and Blues" to move into the culture shift it had today.
