Do shows have mass audiences anymore?
- There is now a diverse range of choices from the past when there was only one choice of channel to watch
- channel 4 started 1982

- Moved from broadcasting to narrowcasting - so tv shows can target specific audiences
- Les Revenants going for an international audience on trailers and posters

Stuart Hall - Reception theory
- How the audience process or receive a product

- Negotiated reading
- Preferred reading
- Oppositional

Camille comes home scene 
- Subversive to the horror genre
- Scary how the daughter has come back to life and the close up of he mums face means you can see the horror in it
- Close up shots of Claire's upset face, far too uncomfortable
- 'What did i just watch?'  'I thought she was dead?'
- Sad for daughter as mum is scared to see her
- Enjoyment at having genre conventions exploded
- This is nothing like the trailer
- Mothers evasive performance - why doesn't she hug Camille?
- subverts norms of mother nurture behaviour/ character archetypes
- Enjoyment at Claire's atypical response
- Crane/tracking shot following Claire upstairs conforms to horror conventions, and an intertextual reference to sinister
- Frustration at the use of montage: lack of definitive action and fast paced editing
- Use of foreshadowing - mother in Camille's room as she arrives - symbolic significance
- Excited at the many questions the show is asking, how did Camille survive
- Pleasure at Camille's character and her assertive, gobby nature
- Claire is attractive
