Media Theory

 The media theory that I would like to incorporate in my project is Stuart Hall's reception theory. It states that the interpretation of a piece of media is based on how the audience subjectively views it and how the producers intended. This would be easy for our project since it is more of a psychological horror. This means that some scenes would have meaning that are more open ended in terms of context. The audience would be able to draw conclusions between certain scenes. This interpretation paired with the suggested way the scene was supposed to go, is very telling towards what the film is intended to be

The reception theory dictates how fans interact with their favorite pieces, and how it works. Under this theory, the reading of the media text is directed by the audience and the producer at the same time. That being said, media theory is a very important concept in the film world. It will almost be a necessary concept for films in the future since it provides valuable depth needed in a film.
