As my search topic was Pornography, I did ask over 25 person to help me to do the interview. but only few person would help me to do it. So, for now, i have only did 3 interview with those interviewees.
In those interview, I did ask each one of the interviewee the same question, like how did you defend “Pornography”, How they feel about “Pornography” and asked some of their Background information. I believed that their background will be the key of how they decode the Pornographic media.
In my research, I would like to find out how people think of pornographic media. Different people will have different point of view to that. So I defined that as a “decoding research”. The way how those interviewees think of Pornographic media is the matter of my research. According to an article which called “Encoding/Decoding” form Stuart Hall, He thought there are three hypothetical position of decoding message. The first one is “ Dominant-Hegemonic position”, the second one is “Negotiated code” and the last one called “oppositional code”. I believed that these three hypothetical position of decoding message will help me to find out how those interviewees consume the pornographic media.
On the other hand, three different interviewees were mention same topic coincidentally. It’s about rape porn video. They did have different point of view about rape, but when I asked their opinion about pornographic media, they just carry out this topic. I believe that must be meaning something or there is connection between Pornographic media and media violence. That’s why those interviewees are mentioned that topic coincidentally. One of the interviewees was talking about how he despise any rape porn. He thought that sexual behavior should be mutual consent. If not, that should not regarded as normal and it will become a crime.
After I did the interviews with these three person, I didn’t expect that they will mention about rape porn. Therefor I will search some articles about media violence or any reading had mention the relationship between pornographic media and media violence.
Last but not the least, there are few more interviewees will help me to do the research, maybe they will mention the same topic about pornographic media, or they will cary out another whole new topic. So I decided that when I was interviewing them, I will use recorder to record the content they had mention. If there are any new topic comes out, I can use those record as a basic information and search the supporting article to do my research.

Dear Patrick, The blog demonstrates your capability in relating interviewees' responses to theoretical model. Try to be in more detail in your final essay. In particular, in what ways were decoding methods articulated to their "framework of knowledge" (i.e. cultural and personal background)? Remember to find out the commonalities amongst the interviewees' responses in your final analysis.
