Audiences
How do you consume music? I usually listen to music throughout the evening when I get home from school to simply chill out. I have my record player set up in my room to listen to some the older music I have and my computer to listen to more contemporary tracks/discover new music.
Usually in my bedroom, as my music set up is there.
I often play vinyl with my brother as he has a huge record collection (a lot bigger than mine) and we often share records, so it is shared experience.
Either vinyl or the computer and I listen to it while playing games or just when I'm chilling out.
As I stated earlier, music simply has to relax me while I'm listening to it. That is really the only things that matters to me personally when listening to music.

USES AND GRATIFICATIONS THEORY
Personal Identification - Probably a bit of Green Day's American Idiot (especially when I was younger.)
Information - Grandmaster Flash - The Message taught me about the struggles that black people still face in America, as it is a socially conscious track.
Entertainment - Rihanna and her dance moves are relatively entertaining.
Social Interaction - Yeah Yeah Yeah - Heads Will Roll is a party track that all my friends enjoy.
escapism
Green Day - Homecoming
create mood - Probably abit of Frank Ocean

cheer you up - Bizz Nizz, Don't Miss the Partyline
get you in the mood to go out - Some Progressive House mixes most likely.

help you sleep - Some deeper, more acid house from the late 80s/early 90s most likely.
distraction - Some classic rock which I find extremely catchy and easily stops me from anything I'm doing. Bon Jovi for example.
companionship - usually music from BBC Radio 2, as that's the favoured driving radio station,

Examples of different techniques
Voyeurism
This video is an obvious example of voyeurism, as viewers are essentially forced to look at the female's behind and breasts constantly. These often take up an entire shot of the video.
Exhibitionism
This video shows a messed up individual who constantlys vandalises places, has sex often and parties too hard. This attracts a lot of attention as presents such a powerful image.
Male Gaze
This video shows Nicki Minaj flogging her large behind constantly for the pleasure of male viewers, an obvious example of the male gaze.
Female Gaze
Multiple shots of this video are simply shots of the members toned bodies, something that females would obviously be attracted to.
Homosexuality
The main premise of this video is a same sex marriage, an obvious form of homosexuality.
Strong Dominant Female
This video demonstrates of the female as a gender and not only just Beyonce, a huge example of strong dominant females.
