The Effects Model/ The Hypodermic model.


The effects model gives an explanation of what happens to an individual in terms of their behaviour as a result of their consumption of the mass media. The model shows is thought to have a negative effect on individuals. The model indoctrinates in audience making them powerless and passiive. The audience  would be figuratively poisoned by the message of the text. An example of this is rap music. Rap music supports this theory as many people argue that listening to rap music can lead to the individual becoming very violent and going against the police.

In relation to my music video the effects model would determine that people that listen to it or watch it will miss their girlfriend or want to break up with them because this is the message it would send to the audience in the viewpoint of the effects model.

A true to life example is with the video game grand theft auto. Through this violent game of people killing each other this this lead to a murder case because of the message of violence the video game gives.
