Post 15: Reflecting On Theory

In previous posts I have talked about three different theories. These were Genre Theory, Narrative Theory and Audience Theory. In this posts I will be reflecting on these theories and applying them to the short film that I am making. This post is also important as it prepares us for our exam in the summer.

The first theory we looked at was Genre Theory in Post 4. We looked at Robert Altman's, Neales and Hartleys views and opinions on Genre Theory.

Robert Altman believed that "Genre are defined by producers and are easily recognised by audiences. Applying this to my short film. It is key for our audience to know what genre my short film is as throughout previous posts I have talked about how important it is for audiences to understand what genre a short film is.

Ways in which we could relate to Altman's views in our short film is with our set design and lighting. For example my short film Synchronicity is a Drama film. So for audiences to understand the genre of our short film easier we need to make sure we show a drama film. With changing the atmosphere in the lighting audiences could relate to the drama that is going on in the film.
