Today me and Hollie, did our focus group, we got all of the class around a laptop and created a podcast using GarageBand. By doing this we could listen back to the research we found out so that we could bring in the ideas of the focus group people. The questions we asked were...
- Our genre is comedy, would this be a genre that you would go and see?
- Why does this appeal to you?
- [SHOW THE STORY BOARD AND SCRIPT] So from what you can see, what do you think about our short film?
- Our short film is mainly silent, do you think this makes it more comical?
- Silent movies were popular in the early 20th century, do you think it is something that could be added to present day?
- Do you think the tension built at the beginning of the film makes the rest of the film more comical?
- What do you like best about our film?
- If there is anything that you would change, what it be and why?
- From what you can see would you come and see this film? Would you find it funny?
- Thanks! You've been wonderful.
On top of this, we went over camera angles and movements again and also looked at mise-en-scene and how to use it effectively. In the second part of the lesson we looked at different media theorists and theories such as the two step flow theory, the hypodermic needle theory, the uses and gratifications theory and the reception theory. We looked at how each theory explores the ways in which people take in the media and how they interpret it.
