Similar Media Works

Our group had to create a similar media works presentation, to research into the horror genre and sub genres. All the group had an input in the presentation, splitting the tasks between the four of us. I completed the slides on Characters, symbols and signifiers, and also added a mise en scene report for the opening scene of 'Hannibal'. Once we all finished the presentation, Steph went through and edited slides that needed to be changed in order to get the best possible mark. I feel that the similar media works presentation really helped give our group an idea on the traditional values of horror, and also what types of characters, symbols, and storylines are used in order to make a successful and effective horror film.
