Research on mad men
A Review on the guardian quotes to back up what the audience feels about the season 5 episode 11
http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2012/may/29/mad-men-episode-11 The person who wrote the review feels strongly towards characters and has their own view on what the characters do and feel in certain situations an example of this is the person has wrote about Pete Campbell and his choice to propose such a thing to Joan."I have not felt a loathing so visceral for a TV character in a long time, if ever. It wasn't just the depravity of his actions; his decision to actively pursue the idea of Joan selling her body so to improve SCDP's chances with Jaguar."
This proves its not a main stream programme because it lets the audience think and become active towards each of the characters an have their own view on their actions they perform this is what the AMC is trying to achieve by trying to make the series of mad man character driven instead of plot driven like LOST.

Mad men: Discuss the auidence appeal of the texts (30)
Within Mad men it appeals to its niche audience in various ways the main appeal is towards an older generation this is because the text uses a lot of nostalgia referring to the time of the setting by including some at rare times non diegetic music this either presents jazzy music of the 1960 or depressing music on the day when the company presented their car design because this has been a dodgy deal to twist the opposing votes in the companies favour.The audience uses this text to either use it for information or escapism.Starting with escapism people enjoy this type of niche media text because it doesn't make the audience think in the certain way it does this by not using any non diegetic music so the audience can have a view of each of the characters in their own way.Escapism is also affective on the audience who love nostalgia and can give them a break on reality to delve into a setting where the rules of the 1960s apply such as men was more dominent and powerful than women and being racist was more acceptable than it is today.Mad men can also be applied for infomation to learn and understand how things were in the 1960s this is not a bad source of it because the series tries to make it as realistic as possiable this is displayed within the mise en scene from the suits and clothing that the office people wore daily to the style of the flats and what people had back in those days.

Scene from lost
Most media texts target a range of different audiences "how true is this for your chosen texts"
The programme of Lost is produced by the organisation of ABC this is specially well know for generating varoius mainstream tv programmes. Lost attracts a multi culture audience this is due to the fact that nearly all of the characters are of a different race such as british in the scene it also it a mainstream programme.Being mainstream Lost likes to include a lot of action and enigma codes within the scene where the characters face a polar bear the cameras tempo is very fast and switches between sawyer and sadaid as they argue between themselves this builds up the speed and then finally a loud diegetic sound of the poler bear breathing builds tension into the scene.Another aspect of mainstream is when they are running from the polar bear there is a short clip of Kate running while this is happening non dietetic fast paced sound plays building tension too.Finally once the scene as ending they realise that this is a polar bear they ponder this for a moment and suddenly the scene cuts of and as this happens a non diegetic loud gonging sound queues another enigma code and leaves the audience wanting to watch more and not questioning this make the audience become very passive.
