Atonement - Audience

The audience is mainly active/ passive, they work to create an already diplayed meaning.

Audience responses:
Gender
Culture
Situation

Stuart Hall's theory ('73)
oppositional
negotiated
preferred

Cutural Experience:
Ethinicity - white audience - relvant to the context of the film
Sexuality - more in relation to attitudes towards sex opposed to actual sexuality
Age - young stars attract audiences
Religeon - Patriachal Christian Britain

situated culture
-When audience is 'forced' to watch, outcome is usaully good, however a large audience is put off by tradtional elemnets in the film.

Uses & gratifications
