The Three Texts That I Have Selected Are American Pie (Film), Friends (TV Series) And Little Britain (Radio Drama). Each Text Is Linked To One Another As There All Connected To Comedy. Therefore, The Target Audience Are People Who Are Into Humour. However, Each Text Is Amusing In Different Ways. The Similarities Between The Three Texts Is That They Each Contain Some Sort Of Sexual Reference. This Is What American Pie Includes The Most, For The Movie To Have Become A Success. However, Friends Includes Different Type Of Comedy, Which The Audience Are Able To View Through Specific Characters. This Is Also The Same With Little Britain.
The Three Texts Differ From One Another As “American Pie” Is Aimed At People From The Age Of 15 Onwards. This Is Due To The Inappropriate Images And Language Used In The Film, Which Would Not Be Suitable For The Younger Audience. However, The TV Series “Friends” Is Aimed At People From The Age Of 12 And Onwards. On The Other Hand, The Radio Drama “Little Britain” Is Aimed At Everyone As It Is Presented At 3.30 And 10.30. Therefore, All Age Groups Are Able To Tune In.

American Pie Is Promoted By The UNIVERSAL PICTURES. The Film Was Advertised At The Cinemas, Before The Films That Were Rated 15. This Is Because, The Audience Viewing The Films Rated 15 May Also Have Been Interested In Watching This Movie, Therefore, This Was A Way To Grab A Wider Audience. Moreover, It Was Advertised As Posters And On Internet Pop Ups. American Pie Was Also Advertised On Television, Therefore, The Film Was Very Popular Since A Lot Of People Went To Watch It.
