A media theory that I would like to incorporate in my project is the authoritarian theory of communication. This theory states that powerful governments and organizations must control the media to protect the people from mass panic or propaganda.
Although many depictions of this theory are extreme, I would like to incorporate a more tame version of this theory into my project. The way that I would incorporate this theory into my project is by showing how the local government blocks any media released about the monster to stop panic. But, instead of protecting the people from mass panic, it keeps the people ignorant of the danger, ultimately causing many more people to become the monster's victim.
