Mise En Scene work HW

The title of the film poster is that it is in dark bold handwriting which makes it easier for you to see it is very large in size to make it stand out more. Another reason why they have chosen this is because it is very important as the audience needs to know what movie they are watching. The main colors of the poster cover are Grey,White,Black. The color black is associated with nighttime and is mysterious which makes the audience feel intrigued to know more. Grey is also a common color used in horror films as it is associated with loss and tragedy. The color white is shown as natural daylight.  The main focus of the Conjuring Poster is the establishing shot of the tree that is Mouldering with a rope which symbolizes Death and torture. The audience who is watching the film will be curious to know what has happened and why is there a rope dangling from the tree. This gives a true sign and message of a Horror movie underneath the tree you can clearly see the shadow of a faceless person. This may want the audience to engage more with the movie. The Main idea of the poster is that this house is abandoned and haunted this is because there are no sight of other houses surrounding it and it is located in a quiet place for example the countryside. We know this is a horror movie because the weather is described as gloomy, mysterious, foggy, and cloudy this is used to show an eerie atmosphere for the horror genre. The leaves are all scattered in one place this shows that the house is not being taken care of properly as it is deserted.

Language and Representation

  Language and Representation Language 1.    Write a summary of the notes from our in-class analysis of the episode.

Mise-En-Scene Susan - first introduced dancing and dressed as a 1960s teenager (costume). Seems to be both a typical teenager and an alien. Costume and hair typical of the 1960s.

Reception Theory

  Reception Theory 1. The preferred reading of a media text is that it can get the audience to feel a certain way and be influenced by their reading so that they can carry out their message by using codes and conventions. 2. The Oppositional reading of a media text is that it is going against what the producers are creating it does not give the positive message that it wants and can put the audience in a difficult position as if they should change their view or not. 3. The Harry Brown trailer wants the audience to respond to the teenage characters in the film to think that the kids are misbehaving which leads them to commit bad things such as crime, and drugs because of the influences around them and around their environment. For example, if they have a friend that they look up to they may want to impress them by doing the same thing to fit in and also around the environment also impacts it since if they see something familiar at home they would think that this is normal expectations s
