Blumler and Katz “Uses and Gravitations” (The reason for watching this film): Entertainment  - escaping, being diverted from problems, relaxing, filling time

Richard Dyer’s “Utopian Solutions”(audience are targeted by offering something that is lacking in modern life):

Intensity  - watching exciting and interesting things happen, that are out of the ordinary and help people momentarily escape their routine lives.

Energy – our daily routines make us tired, so the media offers us action, vibrant colours and exotic locations.

Transparency - we know which characters are good (humans so we can identify with them) and bad (aliens). Reality is more complex than this.

Narrative Theories and Concepts:

·         Todorov Theory: The story is going to be based on a change from equilibrium (where everything is going to be in order) to disequilibrium (chaos and disorder when aliens attack). People will be fighting to bring back the stability into the world.

·         Binary Opposition: good which are the humans vs. Evil which are the aliens.

Propp’s “Spheres of Action”:

·         Villain: aliens

·         Hero: one person of a team of brave people
