Revision mock exam - Rpresentation

In this essay I will be talking about the male gaze, final girl, feminism in horror,  teen punishment, hauntings and demonic possession, and hegemony. In this essay I will be explaining the meaning of these topics, and why they can be essential to horror films. Through out looking at my trailer there is no use of a female character which could connote that my trailer is based around patriarchy, this is further reinforced by the fact that the monster is a male character and could imply that males are trying to dominate society and codify the way everything is done.

Berger said that "men act and women appear. men look at women. women watch their self being looked at" which would support my trailer because I have not used a woman in my trailer but we do have men that act.

I think that my trailer applies to male gaze because although the audience isn't made to voyeur and look at women we are put in the perspective of looking through what the males are going through and how they deal with the situations and what they see. In-addition to this during the trailer we are shown male survival characteristics which allow at least one male to stay alive.

5 narratives

introduction: Narrative can be defined as a chain of events in a cause and affect relationship occurring in time, and is a sequence of events in a chronological order to make a meaningful story. the trailer I will be using is Last Man Standing from our production called enemy of my enemy. Narrative is important to my trailer because like Vlad Propp says there are limited character types that share the same function. Furthermore Strauss is a valid narrative theory as it says that narratives are structured by pairs of binary opposites and this is evident in my trailer because we have good v evil and teen punishment. todorovs theory shows an equilibrium (happy, normal, utopian place to be) then a problem that arises to destroy the happiness which is called distruption and finally there is the resolution which is when the characters get rid of the aggressor or ghost and everything goes back to normal. The problem with having the resolution in the trailer is that it ruins the whole point

Digital Technology essay

Introduction: When we walk about digital media technology our meaning is to do with applications such as photoshop, in design and final cut pro. It is also technology that allows people to find an audience through social media such as Instagram, snapchat and youtube through making and adapting already created products, this is very evident when people become prosumers and make things to do with fan-fiction. I would say that the correlation between creativity and digital media technology would be that digital technology allows you to produce creative work approaching a professional level. In-addition it allows you to see more different creative things as there are so many different people with an audience which will allow you to jumble up different things that you like about the product then re-make your own unique version of media. I believe that my production work has developed through out the past two years with these of websites, media, researching, experimentation and re-making/

real media text essay

Introduction: Through out media there are several conventions that have particular rules that must be followed when creating a media product in-order to keep structure in that product and to prevent the audience from any confusion, having these rules also allow the audience to identify what they are looking at based on it's stereotypes, genre, sub-genre, characters and more. Mainly focusing on film the conventions would be the genre and sub-genre and must be followed successfully so that the product in known and understood for its purpose and expression. However it is possible that you can break down, and re-make the conventions. By doing this it will result in an increase in creativity because there will be more then one meaning for that specific convention, reinventing these conventions are highly recommended due to the fact that it is one of the only things that enable the product to stand out. During AS I had created a magazine front cover, a contents page and double page spr
