Second Cut Feedback
This is a much better version, although we are still in danger of this looking too much like a Trailer. You have made great strides to add interesting effects and sound effects.
However it is still missing a narrative, I would like you to think about how to tackle this, possibly adding a voice over to start to explain some element of narrative.
I would also like to see an animated logo and of course the titles.
I think it may look more sophisticated if you were to cross fade some of the images and add some interesting 'glitchy' transition.

Representation Feedback - A reasonable blog post that covers the basics - however I would like you to focus this in on horror - what are the typical representations in horror? How are you going to use these in your film? Level 2


Genre Feedback - Good research onto sub-genres and look into the history of the genre. I would like more detail in both of thse areas though. Add how this research is going to effect your film.

Representation

What is it?

In terms of media, is the way in which the audience depicts a certain piece and how the piece is presented. Every character, setting, prop, costume etc, is someone's imagination of what they think these things should look like. This creates a whole, wide range of creativity that directors use to put into their movies and TV shows. If we didn't have the media, our perception of what reality is to us would be very different and limited, and audiences everywhere need the media to give them this idea of what the wider reality is like. As there is so much creativity, it allows for audiences to interpret what they say in many different ways, allowing for a better experience when viewing it. Representation can be affected by 4 factors:

  • Audience Positioning - How different audience react
  • Interactions between other groups 
  • Cultural Ideology - Expectations within cultures on how things should happen 
  • Stereotypes -  Portrayal of people or places through a few obvious characteristics
