Title Ideas Continued

I have decided that I will focus my essay title research strictly on the horror genre however I will be will be studying my previous horror question on the representation of women but also an exploration of reality in the horror genre. by focusing on horror I can somewhat study the same conventions etc however I will be interpreting it in different ways for the two titles. Therefore when I come to writing my essay, I can chose the title of which I believe is more detailed and elaborate with sources.

Title ideas for essay

With my class, I have gone through a variation of different essay titles and I believe this is essential to finding a specific topic that I enjoy but also that has plenty of relevant information to include. My essay titles are about a topic of which I enjoy/ find interesting, however also one that is innovative and challenging:

'An exploration of the represenation of women in horror films'
Being that women's narrative role in a horror film is usually stereotyped as being a 'princess' like character, I would like to analyse a comparison of this stereotype and one that completely breaks this convention with a masculine/heroic female.

First Ideas

This year I have decided that I would specifically like to focus on my main interest in the media and that is Horror films. Being that I have a vast range of knowledge in this area, it will be appropriate that I focus on it to ensure I make a production which I will not only enjoy but also have expertise in.
Although I did the horror genre last year for a film trailer, this year I will either make:

  1. Segment/clip for an upcoming film
  2. Website for an upcoming film
If I were to make a clip for an uncoming film, I would ensure that this clip is conventional of the horror genre, using intertexts such as Halloween and Scream. If I were to make a website, being that I also do ICT, I will be able to make an effective, professional website.
