Encoding and Decoding
If something is encoded into a text then it is what is written, a producer may incorporate dominant ideologies into the text
Decoding is when the audience reads into this piece of media and makes their own interpretations.
Reception Theory
1. the audience fully accepts the preferred meaning, showing they agree with the dominant ideas
2. the audience takes a negotiated position, meaning they agree with some not all of the preferred meaning
3. the audience takes an oppositional position, where they understand the preferred meaning but decide to make their own interpretation
