For this project we have been given the task of creating a piece which the speech is only the greeting “Hallo.”
I’ve already had several ideas on this and I think I want to focus on horror. As my piece is only going to be about 30 seconds, I want to focus on creating suspense throughout the clip. I want to focus on horror as I feel this is a genre I’m already quite familiar with.
In this lesson we talked about representation in the media. This means re presenting reality which can lead to stereotypes.
In this lesson we learnt about narrative and how it helps tell a story. There are many different ways a story can be told. The order of how things are told in a story can influence this very heavily. Also, how many stories are being told overall can change a story completely.
Mise-en-scene is everything on the screen including sound. This also links into semiology where the audience looks at what’s on the screen and being heard and decodes it.
Genre is the type of something. In film and TV, there are so many different genres. For example there is horror, action, romance, western, sci-fi and thriller just to name a few.
A genre is needed to know what target audiences expect and as a media producer, what the genre expectations are.
In this lesson we learnt about Semiology. Semiology is the study of signs. These are all encoded and contain a message with a meaning which the audience decodes.
