Narrative Theory Essay

Narrative theory is the way a story is told in fictional and non-fictional media texts. I will be using the trailer Bedeviled by Terror House because this trailer was the best one that I saw in my opinion, it had very good editing and the location was very effective. In my summer trailer the Todorov theory was not put into place, the beginning showed a female running frantically. There was a disruption, when the camera was dropped on the floor. Of course there was no resolution as that would have been the whole film within the trailer. The trailer appears to be in non-linear order, however it does not have any flashbacks or flash fowards. Therefore, our trailer breaks the rules of the typical Todorov theory. The Todorov theory is used in many films for example in Die Hard; the equilibrium is when Bruce Willis goes to his family for Christmas (it is all very calm), when the terrorists storm the building there is a disruption and the situation is resolved (resolution) when the hostag

Media language essay

There is a vast amount of language within the media to help describe media texts for example, technical code or signifier. It allows us to discuss the way we use camera, sound, editing, mise-en-scene, semiotics and ideology to create meaning in the media. Symbollic codes include; weapons, mirrors, light and doors as well as many more. These are all very important as they set the tone and as Neale states, genre are forms of repetition and difference (which keeps audiences interested) for the film which enables the audience to feel a specific type of way that is given through the film. The context of the symbollic code is also very important for the film because it establishes exactly what the weapon or mirror signifies. If you do not understand that a woman being stabbed with a knife by a man for example, represents rape then the film will not have a big effect on the audience. Also, culture is important for horror films because different aspect of it could have different meanings. We

Represention essay

There is a lot of representation within horror, this is when there are different portrayals for certain groups for example, females supposedly having to be "pure and innocent". There are many theories relating to representation in horror like, the representation of women. Mulvey found that women are controlled by the 'male gaze' this is where a females body is displayed on screen for the pleasure of the viewers who then become 'voyeurs' (they are typically male). In my trailer we do not see the male gaze so explicitly, apart from when there is a shot of the female standing and it focuses on her body which is facing the camera. To make this more recognisable, I could add a low angled tilt that scans a female character from her bare legs to her face, but with extreme focus on her face, her chest and her legs. This would then make the audience voyeurs to the film as they are taking pleasure from watching the woman's body on screen. This would therefore, make
