Raising \film avid\: the happy teen from technotown
Contemporary media literacy equally means media audience literacy and, unlike other performance \"literacies\", sheer size and scale of the distribution system precludes the \"sighting\" and empirical confirmation of assumptions; instead, Westerners use shared theoretical models built up since the expansion of the mass media in the late 1950s to categorise and deconstruct these figures. Because of this, the contemporary film audience is an audience that makes critical judgements based on metaphysical rather than physical representations, on assumptions based on individualistic rather than holistic evidence, and on transcendent secondary evidence rather than material primary evidence. [...]that to view these figures as examples of overarching cultural imperialism downplays the strength of individual human agency and the ability of individuals to make a choice. In France, however, in the same period, two films, both of French origin, appeared in the top ten. [...]there were no films in the top ten in the UK; instead, the top eight places were taken by serials.11 As it is the domestication of film through the technologies of television that has given birth to the Film Avid, this fluid melding of local fiction and imported fiction points to a consumer characteristic that digital broadcasting is now further exploiting. Whereas in linguistic representation elements are learned piece by piece (or word by word), in visual representation learning takes place in its entirety. Because of this, visual systems of representation are much less conventional than linguistic systems.12 No surprise then that the Film Avid audience is supportive of the bricolage, pastiche and parodic elements of contemporary film.
