Film Industry: I, Daniel Blake

  1) What is independent cinema and how is it different to Hollywood blockbusters? Independent films are very different to Hollywood blockbusters like Black Widow. The style of ‘indie’ films is very different to Hollywood blockbusters, as the directors and producers have more creative input – it’s being made in their vision, not in the vision of studio bosses. 2) What is I, Daniel Blake about?

Reception theory

-
  1) What is the preferred reading of a media text? The meaning the producers intend to communicate. This builds on the idea that producers can position the audience in a certain way and influence their reading so they accept the intended message by using recognised codes and conventions (such as stereotypes). 2) What is the oppositional reading of a media text? The oppositional reading goes against the meaning the producers are trying to create. The audience reject the intended message and construct an opposite reading instead. This can be due to their own social, political or moral beliefs and values.  3) How does the Harry Brown trailer position the audience to respond to the teenage characters in the film?
