Teacher Feedback

You have made yourself some targets at the beginning of your blog and it might be time to revisit those and follow up with some new ones.

You have some really good research evident on your blog but you need to make sure that you are relating to your own project - how does the Uses and Gratifications theory relate to your short film? What creative decisions have you made based on the exisiting media texts that you have looked at?
How does the genre theories help you to plan and relate your work?

Story boarding - Hitchcock

From Matt's blog

Story boarding is incredibly useful as it sets out a plan of what you are going to film, this is an application on the iPhone that lets you take pictures, annotate, add panning shots within the pictures and up load the story board to sites the blogger. 

Our group are going to purchase this application and use it to story board our ideas as we think it will be more effective and will help us demonstrate our ideas and shots better than drawing them would.

Audience theory

There are lots of theory's about the audiences of the media and how the react to certain things being shown i have researched into a few of them and this is what i discovered. 

The first is the hypodermic syringe theory.

the theory goes that the media is like a syringe, which injects ideas, attitudes and beliefs into the audience, who as a powerless mass, have little choice but to be influenced. 

The culmination theory is when one media text does not effect a person to much but years and years of exposure to violence for example will make you less sensitive to violence. so for example if you watch domestic violence in soaps for years the theory is that people will be less bothered when real experiences happen in real life.
