Evaluation question 5
- 3. ENTERTAINMENT THE LOW KEY LIGHTING IN THE WOODS SCENE AND THE SCORE USED IN THE TWO SCENES REPRESENTS THE MYSTERY, SUSPENSE AND TENSION THAT THE AUDIENCE MAY BE FEELING, JUST LIKE THE USE OF LONG SHOTS AND MEDIUM LONG SHOTS CONNOTING UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY AS THEY ARE DEALING WITH VIOLENT TEENAGE GIRLS AND IT ALSO LEADS TO THE FEELING OF UNEASINESS AND WONDER, WHICH IS ENTERTAINING TO MANY PEOPLE. NOT ONLY THIS BUT THE FACT THAT THE SAME SCORE WAS USED TOWARDS THE END OF THE ROOM SCENE CONNOTES THE BIG REVEAL OF WHO THE GIRL IN THE WOODS IS.
- 4. INFORMATION THE LONG SHOT OF THE COPS IN THE WOODS GIVES THE AUDIENCE INFORMATION AS TO WHY THEY ARE THERE DUE TO THE FACT THAT COPS ARE NORMALLY ASSOCIATED WITH CRIME WHICH IS WHAT OCCURRED IN THE WOODS. NOT ONLY THIS BUT THE MEDIUM SHOTS WHERE YOU SEE A GIRL RUNNING IN THE WOODS HOLDING THE SHOES THAT THE COPS FOUND GIVES THE AUDIENCE INFORMATION AS TO WHO THE SHOES ARE LINKED TO. HOWEVER, THE PART THAT GIVES THE AUDIENCE THE MOST INFORMATION IS THE REVEAL OF ALI SHOWING THE SHOES TO LEXIE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT INFORMS THE AUDIENCE THAT ALI WAS THE PERSON RUNNING IN THE WOODS.
- 5. PERSONAL IDENTITY ALL THE FEMALES IN OUR PRODUCTION ARE A FORM OF PERSONAL IDENTITY. THIS IS BECAUSE TIFF REPRESENTS THE AUDIENCE WHO ARE YOUNG WORKERS THAT LIKE TO WORK HARD AND ARE EMPOWERED. LEXIE REPRESENTS THE TEENAGERS IN THIS WORLD WHO ARE CONSTANTLY ON THEIR PHONE BUT WHO IS IN A FRIENDSHIP THAT MAKES THEM UNHAPPY AND JEALOUS. ALI REPRESENTS THE TEENAGERS WHO CARE ABOUT THEIR IMAGE, ARE CONTROLLING AND PUT THEMSELVES FIRST BEFORE OTHERS.
- 6. SOCIAL INTERACTION OUR PRODUCTION SATISFIES THE AUDIENCES NEED FOR SOCIAL INTERACTION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE REVEAL IN THE END WILL GIVE PEOPLE SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT. THIS IS BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW MORE AND TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT THEY THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. NOT ONLY THIS BUT THE WOODS SCENES WILL MAKE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT WHY THE POLICE ARE THERE, WHAT THEY THINK HAPPENED AND WHO ALI IS BEING CHASED BY. ALL OF THIS PROVIDES THE AUDIENCE WITH INTELLECTUAL PLEASURE AS IT GIVES THEM AN ENIGMA TO SOLVE.
- 8. ESTEEM I BELIEVE THAT OUR AUDIENCE WOULD LOOK TO OUR PRODUCTION TO FULFILL THEIR NEEDS OF CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM DUE TO THE FACT THAT OUR PRODUCTION WILL MAKE OUR FEMALE AUDIENCE FEEL EMPOWERED AND APPRECIATED. NOT ONLY THIS BUT IT WILL MAKE THEM QUESTION WHAT THEY BASE THEIR SELF ESTEEM ON AS IT MAY MAKE THEM QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOULD RELY ON THE OPINION OF OTHERS OR THEIR FRIENDS SINCE IT SHOWS THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF DOING SO.
- 9. SELF-ACTUALIZATION OUR PRODUCTION COULD ALSO FULFIL THE NEEDS OF OUR AUDIENCE, MOSTLY SECONDARY, WHO WOULD LOOK TO OUR PRODUCTION FOR PROBLEM SOLVING AND MORTALITY DUE TO THE FACT THAT OUR WHOLE NARRATIVE REVOLVES AROUND OUR AUDIENCE SOLVING AN ENIGMA AND DOES INVOLVE DEATH WHICH IS ASSOCIATED WITH MORTALITY.
- 10. DAVID MORLEY/STUART HALL RECEPTION ANALYSIS
- 11. WOMEN IN OUR PRODUCTION • DOMINANT/ PREFERRED READING: WOMEN ARE EMPOWERED AND WORK HARD TO GET WHAT THEY WANT • OPPOSITIONAL READING: WOMEN ARE STILL CONTROLLED BY MEN AND AREBOSSED AROUND. THE EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN CAN BE DANGEROUS AS THEY MAY BE AGGRESSIVEAND VIOLENT • NEGOTIATED READING: WOMEN IN TODAYS WORLD MAY BE EMPOWERED AND WORK HARD BUT I BELIEVE THAT MEN ARE STILL JUST AS POWERFUL AS WOMEN AND ARE MEANT TO BETHE ONES WORKING HARD TO SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES AND EMPOWERMENT CAN BE DANGEROUS IF WOMEN EXERCISE THEIR NEEDS VIOLENTLY AND AGGRESSIVELY.
- 12. TEENAGERS IN OUR PRODUCTION • DOMINANT/ PREFERRED READING:TEENAGE GIRLS CARE ABOUT THEIR IMAGE AND ARE SELFISH • OPPOSITIONAL READING:TEENAGE GIRLS ARE NOT AS SELF-CENTERED AND AS SELFISH AS THEY ARE REPRESENTED • NEGOTIATED READING: SOME TEENAGE GIRLS DO CARE ABOUT THEIR IMAGEBUT THERE ARE ALSO TEENAGERS WHO ARE NOT AS SELF-CENTERED AND SELFISH AS THEY SEEM • EVEN IF IT IS LIKE THIS, I BELIEVE THAT THE OPPOSITIONAL READINGIS MORE ATTRACTIVE TO OUR AUDIENCE THAN THE DOMINANT READING DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY AREYOUNG GIRLS WHO WOULD NOT LIKE BEING CALLED SELFISH OR SELF CENTERED
- 13. PASSIVE AUDIENCE THEORY: SENSITISATION
- 14. SENSITIZATION IN EIGHTEEN • OUR PRODUCTION SHOWS THE AUDIENCE HOW MEAN TEENAGERS CAN BE TO EACH OTHER DUE TO THE FACT THAT LEXIE IS CONSTANTLY SEEN SAYING BAD THINGS ABOUT ALI BEHIND HER BACK. THIS WOULD MAKE OUR TEENAGE AUDIENCE REALIZE HOW THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND MAKETHEM NOT WANT TO DO IT TO THEIR FRIENDS. NOT ONLY THIS BUT THE FACT THATALI IS SEEN BEING CHASED AND ISOLATED SHOWS THE AUDIENCE THAT SHE IS IN THAT SITUATION BECAUSE OF HOW SHE TREATED HER BEST FRIEND AND FOR ONLY CARING ABOUT HERSELF WHICH ARE BOTH NEGATIVE THINGS THAT PEOPLE SHOULD AVOID DOING. THIS WOULD MAKE OUR AUDIENCE NOT FEEL THE NEED TO DO THISIN THEIR LIFE BECAUSE THEY WOULDN’T WANT TO BE IN THE SAME SITUATION AS ALI. LASTLY, THE FACT THAT ALI WAS INVOLVED IN A CRIME, WOULD MAKE OUR AUDIENCE NOT WANT TO BE PART OF A CRIME ASIT COULD RUIN THEIR LIFE.
