Reception Theory


Reception Theory

 

It is when producers or directors construct a text that has hidden message or meaning. If done correctly the audience will be able to pick up the meaning or message straight away, but the audience will need to be reminded of the message throughout the film this could be done through character dialogue or actions within the film.

 

like;
In horror and thriller films the audience is supposed to feel specific emotions that are related to a specific genre of film such as fear, anticipation and surprise these are all used to create suspense and tension within the film.
