Mr Judge Feedback

Medal: Well done for completing some tasks to a decent standard .  In order to improve your coursework grade you need to provide further evidence from all your class work and make sure it is on the blog, as key components are unfortunately missing. 

Mission:  Coud you please copy/embed the bfi tables so that we know which data you are referring to
  • Textual analysis of Seven and an horror opening are an absolute must. 
  • Work on Genre development and Christian Metz requires images, 
  • Some aspects of the previous feedback need resolving namely images, being embedded.  
  • Representations of gender in Thriller and Horror films 
  • Images to illustrate key points in your discussion on film noir
  • Finish your BFI data analysis by uploading the relevant tables with your summaries

Please provide feedback, in the form of a new post, how and when you hope to achieve the tasks.

3.3 ANALYSIS OF BFI DATA ON GENRES AND AUDIENCES



Analysis of BFI Data on Genres and Audiences 

The data in the table tells us that the horror genre has 37 releases and has made 57.5 million. The Thriller genre however has had 64 releases yet has made 29.1 million. This tells us that the Horror genre is more popular even though it has fewer releases compared to the Thriller genre. The Horror genre made the most profit from releasing fewer films. I have chosen to make a Horror film as this shows that it is a popular category of film.


















The second table tells us that the Sci-Fi genre has been released in 422 sites and has had 9 releases making 87.4 million. The Horror genre has been released in 145 sites, with 37 releases and has made 57.5 million. The Thriller genre has been released in 89 sites, with 64 releases and making 29.1 million. The Horror genre is available in more sites and has made more money than the Thriller genre which has been released in fewer sites.


This table tells us how the number of releases that each genre has had. It also tells us how much money they had made. On the right hand side there are titles that are given as examples to each one of the genres. As we can see from this table that the Horror genre had 7 releases and had made 14.8 million. This is the genre that I have chosen to base my film upon as the tables have shown that it is a popular genre that people like to watch.
