2) Re-watch the clip from Blue Planet above and write a paragraph analysing how elements of the clip offer the audience pleasures or gratifications (use media terminology from Uses and Gratifications theory and the 3 Vs - notes outlined above). 

Audience can escape reality whilst their watching the blue planet.They can learn and take in now information regarding the animals and their habitat.They can also learn new information about the ocean.vicarious pleasure also helps them experience new tings through characters,animals etc. Voyeuristic shows people what happens behind the scene that we dont usually get to witness in real life.
