Responses and comparison


  1. In Captain Fantastic some spectators may have an emotional response which is dependent on the certain spectators like who they are, what their gender is, how old they are. The emotional response of shock in the opening scene where they kill the stag the techniques for this is that it has been put next to a scene of happiness where they are washing in the lake and playing together which makes the killing part of the scene more shocking and the washing part of the scene more happy as they are polar opposites to each other. There is also no music in this scene which makes the killing of the stag very unexpected and very brutal with the stag just going about it's day and Bo the eldest son kills it. Another emotional response is sympathy for Rellian as most children have had an argument with there parents and you always think that the child is right and the parents are wrong which may make some spectators feel empathy for him and also maybe approval to what he is doing by going to Jack's house. In Inception some spectators may have an emotional response which could be shock once again to how they can go into people's mind and extract information that they need. Also the certain scene where Dom tells Mal that he knew inception on her that's how he knew it could and the other shock element is that ultimately what led to her death when she came back to reality. Another scene when an emotional response is the scene when Ariadne goes into her first dream and learn how to change the physics of the dream. This would provoke an emotional response of the spectators of maybe shock of how quickly she can change the dream world and this also makes the spectators feel excited about what she can do in just five minutes of the film.  
  2. The factors that affect how different spectators may respond to certain part of these films are for example personal experiences like if someone close to you or that you knew committed suicide Captain Fantastic and Inception would affect you massively as both men have to deal with the lose of their wife's from suicide. Also another factor that may affect a spectator is their age and gender and possibly their ethnicity. Age would affect the spectator because they might be very naive to what happens in the adult world like mental illness and maybe suicide. The spectators gender may affect them because they might feel less of a connection to the male characters as they don't understand the flawed masculinity. Ethnicity is not really a factor that would affect the spectator in these specific films as the characters are quite racially and ethnically different. The factors that also may affect the spectator is where they watch it and who they watch it with. These things would affect them as where they watch it could mean they watch it at home in the comfort of their own things, or in the cinema with surround sound and the big screen were you can't look away or even in a school where you are uncomfortable and you are with your classmates. The factor of who the spectator is watching it with mean their reaction to the film maybe slightly different either watching with a friend where you might talk which with the film Inception if you miss something it could be a key part of the film for example missing the totem scene would make you confused throughout as you wouldn't know what it was, or watching it on your own at the cinema makes it even more intense and exciting because you have no distractions it just you and the film.
