To what extent would you...

...say that online Film Reviews are postmodern?

1. Are online reviews inter-textual or bricolage? Why?

This depends if the film in question was an adaptation of another media text. A online film review
can be inter-textual because a film review is only using the film to create it which is the characteristic of inter-textual. but if the film was made from a book lets say, the review can then be bricolage because you would review/compare the book to the film and vice-versa.

2. how dose online reviews relate to baudrillards theory of simulacra?

Online films reviews could be effected by simulacra because the person or people doing the review opinion's could be swayed by other reviews they have seen pointing things out they didnt notice first time round, or they might present there review in a similar way to other reviewers. We where looking at Spill.com they do there reviews as a group in video form, which is something done by many online reviewers, But something they do different is that they have animated versions of themselves in the video. Reviews can have elements of other reviews in them but they can put an original spin in it.

Intertextuality - when one media product is continued into another form of media, for example the harry potter books being made into films.

1) Are online reviews intertextual or bricolage? why? 

Online reviews are bircolage as its more than one person writing about the film review.

2) How does online reviews relate to baudrillards theory of similar. 




To what extent would you say film reviews are post modern?

We have based our answers on a film review, of Black Swan by Peter Bradshaw, film critic for the Guardian.

Are online reviews intertextual or bricolage? Why?

We think that film reviews are intertextual, as you wouldn't be able to review the film without watching it. This means that you are unable to form an opinion on the film because you wouldn't of seen it yet. The review as a media text, creates a further layer of meaning to the original media text of the film. By reading this review you can see the layers within the film, that you may not of noticed if you hadn't of read the film review.

How does online reviews relate to baudrillards theory of simulacra?

Simulacra is when a media text becomes more realistic than the reality they seek to convey. Film reviews are quite key to whether one would choose to see the film or not, and therefore relate to baudrillards theory of simulacra. If one reads a bad review of the film, they may not be willing to go and see the film for themselves.

globalisation and online film

Globalisation is becoming increasingly important as it is changing the way that media is distributed throughout the world. This often means large companies have the resources to expand globally becoming global players, however this leads to many of the homegrown media organisations to become out of business. One example of this is McDonalds taking over smaller fast food chains.
The film industry is very global, this is because it's easy to access information on the internet. Without the internet and the media coverage of the films many people wouldn't be able to hear about the films. Companies such as Universal and Warner Brothers are large and therefore have the resources to be able to promote their films in countries other than America. Businesses such as these are pushing out the smaller film companies such as the BBC.
Audience consumption is separated into two different criteria's:

  • The Global Village Theory
  • The Receptiom Theory

Globalisation

Arron Voice, Josh Nightingale and Rachael Humphrey

What does globalisation mean?
Networks/connections where all technologies are coming together (convergence) along with people, like how the different technologies are connected through the internet giving worldwide access by anyone. Globalisation is more connected to distribution than production, because distribution involves giving all medias to the public to consume.  

To what extent would you say that the film industry is global?
Again the globalisation of the film industry is due to distribution, because in the advent of new technologies it has become easier to penetrate other countries cinema markets. However globalisation in the film industry does not mean that all films have been produced are distributed, as they can be shown online or downloaded.

Globalisation and online media

1. What does globalisation mean?
Globalisation basically means, that everything goes everywhere around the world, for example goods, services, labour, technology and capital worldwide, an example of this could be universal studios. This gives media organisations the ability to increase their audiences.

2. To what extent would you say that the film industry is global?
The film industry is very global because you can download/buy/watch online, pretty much everywhere in the world. Films are made all over the world, therefore they shouldn't just be released in just the one country. Some film industries that could be global are, universal, warnerbros etc.
