Hello blog! It is time for me to start my CCR!! Now I need to think about how my film opening abides to media conventions and if I’ve effectively used representation.
Genre conventions:
Question: how does your film opening fall under your genre?
My genre, of course you know is psychological thriller. It falls under this genre because my main character, Damian, is suffers from the mental illness skitzofrinia. This is showed in the film as there is a psychologist who is the one interrogating him and she cannot see the wolf but he can. It is thriller because he is being accused of murder when she was the one who really committed the crime. Damian is not scared of her and is not scared of his mind. He just is stuck in it. This was heavily inspired by the movie Donnie Darko. I love this movie so much and I think Damian and Donnie Darko have similar traits as Donnie Darko is not afraid of the bunny that is in his mind. But he knows that he isn’t normal but he doesn’t run away from it.
Inalso have similar lighting and vibe to it as it is dark and eery.
Representation:
How does your film opening tie to representation theory found in media context?
This ties together with the representation theory found in media context. The way it is dark and eery and the suspense develops Damian’s personality and shows how dark and crazy his mind is. The wolf develops what Damian is seeing in his mind. The psychologist represents authority.
