Final Title

-

After considering all 4 idea choices for my title, my final decision is on using the title ‘Lola’. I believe this title has most effect considering the meaning behind the name itself and the initial idea that Lola, the sister, is the figure of the protagonists depression. Her death has lead to the mental health problems which she faces, therefore using the name ‘Lola’ makes sense. Out of all 4, ‘Lola’ is my favourite and also has most meaning to me.

The last review page I am using is from Total film. The main focal photo on the magazine is placed on the left side which throughout my research I have found is uncommon. This photo is very eye catching to an audience member due to the use of the main character and the 3D effect.

Although commonly these are not shown, it makes the review more personal. By seeing the behind the scenes, the audience commonly feel more involved with the film as well which could potentially encourage them to watch the film.

An example of Todorov's theory within the media industry would be the TV series Sherlock

Genre Theory

The word genre originates from France meaning 'a kind' Like other aspects of media, genre has a set of codes and conventions which help identify what the audience is viewing in terms of content. These conventions include, characters and story, set, technical and audio. All contributing to the overall effect that the genre illustrates. Sub-genre and hybrid genre's also exist which tend to attract a narrowed down audience compared to genre as a whole. Many people are interested in sub genres as it can include two or more areas of film they like such as romantic comedies. Codes and conventions are mixed to create these hybrid to satisfy audiences pleasures. Considering  genre theory  before choosing my final genre is essential as it may help my approach in choosing my final genre for my short film.
