Narrative:
- The narrative is juxtaposing with the introduction the back line story of the film and contributes to it's explanation.
- The audience is positioned as an outsider as they are being informed of something you would believe they are unaware of.
- The narrator is identified as the main character as she herself explains.
- The major themes are science and zombies.
- Tension is created with use of critical vocabulary that are usual taboos in society.
- The social groups are limited in this scene as it based around a few human survivors (one being female - a progressive representation) against a world filled with zombies.
- The ideological discourse is that women are capable of survival in physical dilemmas and difficult situation and that male scientists are not as superior as originally thought.
- The genre is taken seriously with little comedy as it is an apocalyptic survival film.
What I learnt from this:
- That narrative can have a key role in explaining the basis of a story to an audience, however my group is not likely to use one due to the difficulty to make it effective.
- That representation is key to a film and my group will make sure we consider in depth how we represent our characters and establish an ideology to create an enigma.
Dylan - this is a little brief. You need to look at the narrative - at what point in the classic narrative structure does it start? What do you mean by those themes? First bullet point doesn't make sense - revisit and refer to specific shots. Include screenshots to illustrate analysis.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using a character narrating at the begginig and the phrase "we were wrong" is particularly affective in creating tension, we could possibly use this.
