Emotional Response Essay Question: To be handed in Weds 22nd April.
"With references to the films you have studied for this topic, explore some of the techniques that are particularly powerful in producing an emotional response in the spectator"
Tips:
Open with a statement about the key emotional response created. Explain that it will will be different for different types of viewers.
I suggest splitting it into sections: Mise-en-scene, camera, sound, editing and narrative. Give specific examples of the techniques and the emotions they create.
Throughout (possibly at the end of each section) refer to the theories e.g Hyperdermic Needle Theory and Uses and Gratification. Example - if a spectator was watching the film for escapism the examples of camerawork discussed may create this response ... as ... however audiences watching it for surveillance may have the following response to the camerawork ... as ...
Then conclude drawing together that the elements and techniques work together to create different emotional responses in different audiences.
