https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bruYZyzM3xo Above is the link to our audience research, we asked them multiple questions on what we showed them in our film opening and how we portrayed the codes and conventions of real platforms in our film opening. From this feedback I have learnt that in our film opening we have approached the codes and conventions of slashes well. this is also visual evidence that we photographed to show them actually watching the film, and being truthful about the responses we received from the individuals.

Looking back at my preliminary task, I believe that I understand the codes and conventions of the sub-genre slasher, than I did before. Our prelim task had no relevance in the connection of a slasher film, it was done simply to understand the rules embedded. Our prelim task is a continuity edit, therefore it doesn't look poorly lighted, however the lighting does vary.  In our preliminary task it is clear that we did not take into consideration everything in the scene. However the context of the whole teacher, pupil interaction is clear through the dialect and costumes. Since creating the preliminary task, my knowledge of how to create a successful mise en scene has grown, especially when analyzing and researching the codes and conventions of a slasher film.  I have learnt that with planning, you can ensure you will gain a continuous style throughout; this is reflected in creating a shooting schedule so that the actors and us as a group would be at the location when needed a...

1.        A Nightmare On Elm Street and scream received the highest response rate as being a person’s favorite slasher film. Due to this, I believe that as a group we should take aspects out of those films and incorporate them into our film opening, if possible, to make our film opening appeal to its target audience. 2.        How people consume the media is mainly through their mobile phone, so in order to make our film opening appealing to our target audience, I believe that it should be in a format that can be shared across all social media websites. Therefore this increases the promotion of our film opening and our institution. If we were to produce a whole film, we would produce a trailer which would draw in the target audience in to watch the film when it is released. It could also be submitted to online film sites and submitted to TV and cable shows. 3.   ...

Research Slideshare- allowed me to upload a powerpoint onto the web, and then permitted me to insert the link onto my blog. I have developed the skills of being able to upload one media format and create it into something else, slideshare is a more creative format then powerpoint as it gives the information that is on the slides below the powerpoint so viewers can use the information i have found as it is readily available on the web. Clip converter- it was easily accessible, and enables me to create a clip into the format that I needed in order to complete the second evaluation question. Youtube- is free online software and accommodates to all users as you can access multi media platforms such as music,blogs,films etc. It gave us conventional ideas for our film opening, and allowed us to take screenshots of films and embed them into my blog. I learnt how to upload videos with youtube capture on my mobile phone. This is useful as mobile phones are easily accessibl...

Sexuality- The gay males challenge the conventional 'couple' who are male and female. This similarly links to Gauntletts idea that the relationship between the mass media and identity argues that the mass media today challenge the traditional definitions of gender; is is represented in our film as their dialect challenges the idea of toughness and emotional reticence as they contradict this idea by being more involved in 'girl talk'.  Age- The teenagers in the film opening are drinking and smoking which may appeal to our target audience. The idea of drinking and smoking reinforces Stuart Halls' idea that the negative representation of young people is deliberate and justifies social control. Which in this case the drinking and smoking was deliberate, as these objects connote danger.  Gender- All characters are represented equally as the camera shots and angles do not show one character being more dominant. However when Ellie is framed on her own it conveys her as the...

New Line Cinema- Institutional Research Below is a link that will transfer you to my prezi, you will be able to view all my research about different aspects of New Line Cinema. http://prezi.com/zt2q4vcy56vv/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy The reason I chose to do this research in a prezi format was due to the idea that media studies is a creative subject, and I think that this publication reflects that, and introduces a new format to my blog in a more visual interactive way, rather that just documents. However other formats such as pictures and mindmaps are included.
