Reflecting back on my research.

Reflecting back on all my research I have done, such as looking at different videos that have similar ways in filming to what I'm doing, looking at different films and different influences, watching telly and plenty of horror films to analyse the representation of them and the drug side of different videos, I think this had benefitted me greatly as I now have a better understanding of my genre and what the audience should expect- and what they won't expect! I think this has also given me a clearer view of the types of shots and different effects and editing skills I would like to use. Looking at the video 'Smack my Bi*ch up' has given me a vivid understanding that i cannot glamourise drugs and alcohol in my video because obviously younger years have the possibility of watching it. That is why at the end of my video there will be a twist to shockingly show "what really happened". Overall my research has been very handy so far, there is more to come along the way and I am positive it will all go well!
