This is my A2 Media Studies blog which will act as a portfolio for all my coursework. Here I will present theory and practical work as well as all the research, planning and evaluation that went into creating our Romance/Drama/Film Noir teaser trailer and its promotional package - a poster and a front page magazine cover.

Catharsis

cathartic-
is a term providing psychological relief for the audience through the expression of strong emotion when they see something on sceen (e.g villain is found)


The word comes from a greek word, Katharsis meaning 'purification' or 'cleansing' and is a sudden emotional breakdown or climax that constitutes overwhelming feelings of great pity, sorrow, laughter, or any extreme change in emotion that results in renewal, restoration, and revitalization.

We used a carthartic experience throughout our teaser trailer as the audience will go through intense scenes which the characters go through. This will be shown when the audience are watching the argument and the fight between the Detective and Raymond and a sudden cut to a scene of quietness.
