Blog Entry 1: Week One to Week Two
This week in media lesson, I have started to look at different genres of film and have chosen my set genre which will be fantasy. In class we have been looking at both film trailers and music videos and seen how the genres differentiate. I have then started to look at theorists relating to film trailers, and found that since researching them I can go into more detail, for example on narrative in film trailers, Tzvetan Todorov, after reading about his theory in summary I then went to look at his structure on narrative, which is included on my blog. Within lessons I started to look at other theorists in certain areas of film trailers such as audience theorists and character theories.
When I then started to look at different trailers, I then went to look at the actors in more detail, and found that some actors are used more in certain dramas, that they are more skilled in, but then I also found that actors such as Chloe Grace Mortex, has a more talented wider range of genres, and as used in my trailer analysis, is not only in a horror film but also in a teen romance film. I found that since I was looking at the trailers, it might help to go further in research and to look at their website, posters, and if they had any other type of media exposure.
After looking at theorists I then wanted to go into my genre of film more, and have started to create moodboards for different aspects of a film trailer. Such as costumes, make-up, lighting, colours used and actors that in the trailers of that genre.
Withing the next few posts I will have all of my analysis' up on my blog, and then am going to go further into analysis on the genre I am planning to do. I am also planning on setting up an A2 media Twitter account and get followers to comment on the questions I will put up (will be putting screenshots up on my blog when this is up and running).
