Theories
Voyerism
Male gaze
Propp
We did not use Propp character theory as we felt it was dated.
final girl
'Danni' was are final girl, the final girl theory orginated from Carol J. Clovers in her essay 'Her body, himself: gender in the slasher film'.
We have followed Todorovs conventions of a narrative however we have included that the initial stage is a false sense of equilibrium, where the 'elders' believe that everything is fine, sitting in a false sense of security but the youths know that something is brewing!
However this is not presented in the trailer as we did not want to give away too much, and wanted to keep it fast pace to reflect the horror genre
Consistency
It is important that all three media products have a clear
link as they are main purpose is to be a promotional tool, so it is important for the audience to relate one to the other
Digital Technology/ Construction
New Media
I used social networking sites to do my audience research. Google and wikipedia to look over theories. i used IMDB, youtube and other magazine sites to research other media products. Gmail, blogger, bbm to share my findings.
BBM and gmail, we used to send save and gather information. Poweroint and slide share was used to create are story board and upload it.
Evaluation
Audience Feedback
from my audience research it was clear that my audience wanted a horror that they can relate to. They wanted something different from your ordinary blood and gore. I also realised that the age group from 15-30 were my largest audience as they are who I recieved the most feedback from.
