Week 7’s lecture focussed on the difficulty and the inability of the authors intent. Everything you ever make and create is up for interpretation and scrutinity from the entire world. You have no control over what they interpret, but you can ehlp them by making things clear. I do believe that even though eveyrthing is subjective, that’s why we have opinions, but what we interpret is not always random. Even though we can all present differing views, there is always a central undertone which everyone understands. This central idea is what we all should interpret and understand if the creator has presented his/her work well. It is much like Year 12 English, did the author or cartoonist actually put in that much thought right down to most minute detail, oh that flower is blue because it is a sad day etc… If it was me i would say probably not. But, the main idea or general contention is always the same no matter which student you ask, they might word it differently, but the contention or creative idea is always streamlined.

Genre was also a key idea discussed which i thought is interesting. To me genre is the general outline in which we can categorise styles or themes or anything. A genre is much like a tag on twitter etc… This film is _____, in turn that _____ will attract a certain type of audience. When i think of genres i think of pokemon, each genre is a type. Pikachu is part of the electric genre, charmander is fire genre etc… I don’t know how this is relevant to our lecture, but pokemon 😀
