Spectatorship Presentation: pleasure, emotion, techniques and subject matter

A2 Film Studies

Spectatorship Presentation: pleasure, emotion, techniques and subject matter

Activity:

1.   List your favourite genre, favourite film star and your favourite film of the year and favourite scene.

2.   For each, explain in as much detail as possible the emotional response each has drawn from you. (How do you respond emotionally to the typical situations and typical characters found in your favourite genre?).

3.    Are there any emotions you know you will be expecting to experience when you sit down to watch one of these genre films?

4.   How do you respond emotionally to the types of roles played by your favourite star? What are your emotional expectations when you see their name attached to a film?

5.   What was the range of emotions that your favourite film made you feel?  Can you recall a particular scene, or exchanges between characters, that elicited a particular emotional response from you?

6.   Analyse a scene in detail exploring: subject matter, your expectations, pleasure (or otherwise), techniques used and emotional response elicited from you. Speculate as to whether other spectators would respond in a similar way.

7.    Make a presentation with images to show in class (min 6 slides). Thurs 2^nd Feb 2017.
