Storyline ideas

 

The first one I like as it implements technology and can have a lot of creepy shots with the killer stalking people.

The second one is good as it’s unique but I need to flesh it out more and it doesn’t fit into the horror genre that well.

The third one is good but has been done so many times before that it probably has it’s own sub genre.

I decided to go with the first idea I have a good idea on the types of shots I could do.

 

Representation theory

This presentation and the research in it was done by Michel and I’ve taken screenshots of the presentation to show how I could use her research.

Two way flow is about how we need media to make sense of everything else.

Horror can be escapist but I want to go for a more realistic sort of horror.

There is a thing called telescope view and it is used to exaggerate events to help them with “selling” product e.g. In Iraq they showed a big crowd of people gathering round a statue they were tearing down but if you had turned the camera around you would or seen people getting on with their everyday lives.

These type of thing can either reinforce our prejudice views or break them.

Something about media is that the vast majority of people know that the media can lie but a lot of people still believe it as it is made to look so real and legitimate.

These are the questions I need to look at and how they add to particular representations and/or stereotypes.
