Initial Research Stage


When starting the initial research stage we each had to choose a genre of our choice, I myself chose horror. I developed my understanding of this genre by study different narrative theorists, this then lead into my research of Todorov and Prop, by researching these two theorists it enabled me to get a better understanding of the conventional narrative structure to the horror genre.  

After choosing our genre we started to research posters and trailers. While researching film posters I was able to spot codes and conventions such as the layout and the mise-en scene; which I could then use when making my own poster such as the billing block, which then expanded my terminology range. While researching trailers I was able to analyse layout of the trailer and the sequences in which they present their trailer. 

After watching numerous trailers I was able to see a continuous pattern in that they all mentioned their production company. After realising this I thought it would be best to conduct research into the production companies and find specific information about them. By doing this it enabled me to create my own production company.
