How our film appeals to a modern audience Revised 28/10/10

We chose the gothic horror genre beause it combines the use of fantasy, romance and horror which appeals to modern audiences. The top 3 films [IMDB] in box office this week begining 26/04/10 are  "How to Train Your Dragon" which is a family fantasy adventure our film contains elements of fantasy by including vampires. The next film is "The Back-Up Plan which is a Rom Com our film contains elements of romance between the vampire and her boyfriend. The next film is "Date Night" which is described by IMDB as a thriller, comedy, romance which again our film includes elements of. A recent film of the month  is "Twilight: New Moon" which is a gothic horror fantasy romance and made $142,839,137  on the opening weekend. [NEW MOON IMDB]  So as you can see my genre appeals to modern audiences. Ashes to Ashes series 3 is renowned for using lots of polysemy andf narrative enigma. Episode 4 featured the protaganist having visions of herself in a coffin it signified serialism by using serial lighting much like we did in the forrset scene. The blue filter in ours was originally supposed to signify night but it signified more a dream which it was. The red lighting in our coffin scene is intended to confuse the audience and create polysemy as to the setting of reality and create narrative enigma as to the outcome of the protaganist. Red also signifies blood, passion and love issues which surround our prtaganist while blue signifies the cold, saddness and horror.
