Henry Jenkins: degree-level reading Read  the final chapter of ‘Fandom’ – written by Henry Jenkins . This will give you an excellent introduction to the level of reading required for seminars and essays at university as well as degree-level insight into our current work on fandom and participatory culture. Answer the following questions: 1) There is an important quote on the first page: “It’s not an audience, it’s a community”. What does this mean?   This means that audiences of franchise and genres are more than just that because in the 21st century, they are interacting with each other online. 2) Jenkins quotes Clay Shirky in the second page of the chapter.

This can show that she will always be afraid no matter what happens as she is hoping for safety but may not achieve it due to how quickly the cuts are between the credits. Sound In the killing we hear diegetic and non-diegetic sound throughout the first two minutes of the pilot episode. We can link this to Strauss' theory of Binary Opposition as we hear the sound of the girl that is running away with her footsteps as well as her in the water where as we don't hear anything when we look at the killer as he is trying to catch her up without her knowing how close he is to her. Mise-en-Scene In the killing we see the use of dark lighting throughout the pilot episode. We can see that the killer has a flashlig...
