Week 7 Workshop: PB #4
Today we always got into our groups for our next project brief which will include a visual/video essay and a audio essay. Our group go the topic of Texts and Narratives. I was quite happy with this because the range of Texts and Narratives in the media is huge, meaning that we can do something that my group all is interested in and hopefully produce 2 pieces that are factual and describe Texts and Narratives in the Media to a high standard.
We talked today about what we might do for our visual/video essay, we talked about the classic narrative in films specifically Superhero films and how they all have such a dramatic turning point, a resolution (majority of the time) and a side romance. We thought this would be a good visual thing to show our audience about what we are saying specifically about narratives in film genres as Superhero films are dramatic and easy to understand. We are still developing what the main focus will be for our audio essay but for the next week or so we are going to do research about the theories of Texts and Narratives in the media so we each get a clear understanding of what we are looking at and will be able to portray that in a essay way in this project.
