Three certain types of films: Intellectual, Provocative, Throwaway. Example of reception theory
. Intellectual film will challenge the spectator, dealing with important and complex subjects that need full attention.
. A provocative film will create a reaction to the spectator, for example shock or anger in order to convey a message.
. A throwaway film is a film that relies largely on spectacle and visual imagery to entertain the spectator, there is not much to think.
The viewing experience for a spectator differs in three different types of readings
. Preferred Reading- accepting the messages conveyed in the film and agreeing with how the film is presented (etc, aligning with the characters, engaging with the narrative)
. Negotiated Reading- the viewer accepts the messages encoded into the film but does not engage fully with the film as a whole.
. Oppositional Reading- the viewer doesn't agree with the film's message or meaning and engages with the film via a different interpretation.
