Question 1b Audience Theory Task


Having stretched your critical thinking to include Audience Reception Theory you now need to reflect on your learning and consider how what you have learnt can be linked to the planning of your short film script.

WARNING - This is going to take some time so make sure you put the effort in. It will not only make your film better but also help you with the exam later... I PROMISE.

Tasks -
  1. Watch a minimum of 4 short films and analyse them for the following possible audience receptions.
    • Preferred Reading / Dominant hegemonic position
    • Negotiated  Reading / Negotiated hegemonic position
    • Oppositional hegemonic position
    • Aberrant decoding
    • Moral Panic
    • Mode of Address
    • Profile the Target Audience (this will be linked into the success of the film so check out how it did at festivals etc, and what these festivals represent, are looking for).
    • Consider the viewing environment
  2. Combine your thoughts from the above analysis and your lesson notes to produce a written/blogged review of what you will need to consider in writing your own short film script.
