Group:
This is just a quick catch up session that we did as a group. We thought it would be a good idea to check what our intended dominant readings are for the different things being represented in our film opening. We have recently learned about Stuart Hall’s Reception Theory with Dominant, Oppositional, and Negotiated readings. For our media text to be successful, we want to make sure the message is clear and able to reach the correct audience. Below we will discuss our intended readings, and compare them to the intended readings we made in our Statement of Intent earlier on in the project. It will be interesting to see if our ideas have evolved.
| List | Our intended Dominant Reading | How we will achieve this with technical elements |
Individuals | Boss
Candra
| Powerful in terms of strength and influence Dedicated smart strong
| Mise en scene: Suit, Luxurious Chair, Menacing smile
Camera:Low Angle
|
Social group | Criminals
| We wish to represent criminals and be evil and unjust.
| This will be primarily shown with the bosses fighting style being dirty and unfair. |
Places | Boss office
Road
| We want to show the bosses main “office” to be a place fit for a king and extravagant a reflection of a his power and influence |
As we can see here this is done with dark moody lighting. The dark wooden floor gives a rustic and luxurious feel. The boss also sits in a central position showing power within the room. The room is also a bit dirty and industrial with exposed piping this shows that he may be a careless person. |
Events | Fighting
Seduction
| The fighting in this opening will be intense and over the top which we hope will add to the comedic | ~ Abusing multiple cuts (make sure it has enough time frame for the audience to understand)
~ Close up shots ~ Gay Element for seduction |
Overall Message | We wanted to show that evil or bad may be good in the short time but good will prevail in the long run. |
How are these similar or different from your Statement of Intent?
