Please discuss how Searching operates aesthetically, thematically or narratively within “new media” contexts. First, provide a brief summary of the film that elucidates its basic structure, plot points and characters. Second, analyze one or two scenes from Searching with attention to its storytelling strategies and formal attributes. Please cite Henry Jenkins, Sam Ford, and Joshua Green’s chapter “Designing for Spreadability” for context/support.
The response should be approximately 1.5-2 pages double-spaced (around 300-500 words) and you might consider some of the following questions:
How does Searching either challenge the politics of “spreadable” media or present itself as a “spreadable” text? In what ways does the film engage and/or critique digital media platforms in the Web 2.0 era?
How would we define Searching in terms of genre and how/why so? In what ways does it align with or deviate from the aesthetic/narrative strategies of other “mystery” films from class? What stands out about the film’s modes of production, distribution, marketing, and/or exhibition? How do these methods of cultural dissemination differ from those that Thomas Schatz describes in relation to Jaws’ 1975 release?
Which audiences does the film seem targeted toward, and how/why so? Would we describe Searching as either a “global” or “transmedia” film? Why or why not?
How do the film’s form and style speak to its thematic interventions about technology and connectivity?
