Reflecting on my blog and last years I feel more confident as I have already done most of it so I know what to expect and what to do. I have learnt to be more open and different when looking at audience research/feedback instead of questionares but to do Facebook groups or Talks using speaker phones or videos and upload them onto Youtube.
I am looking at most inspiration such as Trailers and other A2 Media students work to see what they have done which I can inpsire from and learn from.
These are some horror thriller trailers students have done in the past across Britain for their A2 media work.
When applying my AS and A2 work to a theorist it would come under Levi Strauss with the binary opposities.
AS: Life vs Death
Boy vs Girl
Brother vs Sister
Good vs Evil
A2: Boy vs Girl Poor vs Rich Good vs Evil Strong vs Weak
Angry vs Hapy
Logical vs Emotional
Tough vs Gentle
Propps can apply to most film genres, but not necessarily horror films as usually those films want to leave the audience on a cliff hanger and lead to another film but action thrillers such as Spiderman or The Dark Knight always have a villian, hero, the dispatcher, the helper and the princess. My A2 film could apply to this as we have a villian, a innocent girl, a hero, and a helper.
My trailer could also apply to Barthes as there is Action and Enigma but is there a resolution? I want the audience to wonder and try figure out this trailer by themselves without giving anything away to much except the basics.
