MEDIA COURSEWORK

Film is an integral part of today's society and as such has developed clear patterns in terms of audience expectation. Audiences watch many different genres such as Horror, Sci-fi, Horror Sci-fi, Action Adventure, Fantasy, Thriller, Comedy and many more. <Tab/>Audiences of the horror genre expect the pattern of spooky non-diegetic music, distorted camera angles to change the audience's view of the world there is often a dark, dingy, sinister setting …

…Camera and sound of Terminator distinctively points to the horror sci-fi genre. In conclusion my preferred film is Blade Runner because firstly camera angles and use of roaming camera around the city establish the genre as sci-fi. The irony of replicants catching replicants whilst believing they are human adds a twist to the story line which after first viewing is apparent, however on the first viewing this twist adds to the impact of the film.
