What an audience is

An audience is an individual or collective group of people who read or consume any media text.

Why audiences are important 

Audiences are important because if there wasn't any audience there would be no media and no purpose for the product or text. Therefore producers won't give any money if there is no set audience for it but if there is a big audience they would give billions for it. Also, an audience is important because it can help you know what to put into the product or text because you know what is popular.

Also, you can make the background a cooler colour by placing a orange or red coloured paper in front of the lens or by making the background a warmer colour you can place a blue coloured piece of paper in front of the lens. Correct colour balance Colour balance too blue Colour balance too yellow

Camera Techniques

Tilt Shots Tilting the camera upward or downwards is one of the simplest camera techniques. well executed tilting showing some interesting action with a perfect coordination between the camera operator and the action can make an incredibly elegant even though they are simple. In order to create this shot you must set up the shot so that you can tilt up or down without mixing it with panning. Tilt shots should be executed smoothly and confidently, without overshooting the final frame.
