Most media texts target a range of different audiences ' how true is this to your text'

Lost is a Mainstream TV programme that is shown on ABC which is a Big American company. a scene i will be focusing on would be when a group of survivors are waling through the forest trying to fined signal on the radio. There are many enigma codes that features though out this 3 minute clip, and these enigma codes are created by the uses of non diegetic sounds. when they first hear rustling in the trees there is a deadly silence between the cast this is where the first enigma code features, 'are they alone?' 'what else s in the Forrest with them?' As soon as the camera starts moving quicker it draws the audience in more, as they have the sense of being part of then scene and feel very much involved as well as these sharp cutting back and fourth shots the non diegetic sounds increases and influences the audiences feeling to danger and as the pass increases the audience as well feels the sense of running away. As the bear approaches closer and closer the music changes from a tense music to a more 'slashing' kind of music that would stereotypically be found in a horror film, for example this music is similar to the film psycho. once the bear was shot and killed the music an all sound in the scene stopped it gives the audience a realisation that this island its what it seems, again this creates more enigma codes such as ' why is there a polar bear in a tropical forest?' 'where did it come from?' 'and what was bigger that killed the pilot?'
The audience for lost would be mainly a passive and would take the preferred reading from the program and would take an entertainment approach from the text they could also used it for social intergration as it is a big mainstream programmed and via the use of enigma codes people can share ideas and thoughts to answer them.
