After analysing some film posters, we decided that it would be a good idea to create a film poster as it would give us an insight into the horror - thriller genre that we focused on before we actually began our opening sequence.During our filming we took a few experimental shots for our poster and film piece, here are some of the experimental photographs.
The hypodermic needle theory implied mass media had a direct immediate and powerful effect on its audiences. The mass media in the 1940s and 1950s were perceived as a powerful influence on behaviour change. Several factors contributed to this "strong effects" theory of communication, including:
This is an short film demonstrating the hypodermic needle effect after watching a killer movie 'Scream' influences the way in which the boy reacts and the devastating incident that occurred. we had a lesson in class of the different narratives in media we looked at uses and gratifications theory by Blumler and Katz.
Blumler and Katz holds a theory that places more focus on the consumer, or audience, instead of the actual message itself by asking “what people do with media” rather than “what media does to people” . It assumes that members of the audience are not passive but take an active role in interpreting and integrating media into their own lives. The theory also holds that audiences are responsible for choosing media to meet their needs. From this we can apply this to which gratification we will be aiming for. From the shots taken earlier using Muzzy I experimented using effects to create a more sinister look and they turned out successful.
this is the logo for dark castle entertainment which was a production house affiliated with Warner Bros. It made nearly a dozen film from 1999 to 2013 and I decided to include it as our piece shall be a horror thriller and in order to get inspiration for our chosen company, we focused on dark, suspenseful film industries. we looked at two horror logos that would link in to our actual piece. this is the logo for Jerry Bruckheimer productions is a film/television company that has produced many films from 1972 to 2014 including horrors and other genres. i looked at this as it relates to our piece as we are focusing on dark logo ideas and this motion picture logo is quite fast paced and quick but equally dark and scary therefore we took it as a form of inspiration for our logo.
From analysing with the modern posters we decided to look at the different codes and conventions of vintage horror- thriller posters. As they portray different colours and format such as tile appearing in bright abstract colours and diagonally presented to appeal to the audience. From researching vintage posters expands our knowledge of types of thriller posters other than just the modern horror- thrillers.
