5 narratives

introduction: Narrative can be defined as a chain of events in a cause and affect relationship occurring in time, and is a sequence of events in a chronological order to make a meaningful story. the trailer I will be using is Last Man Standing from our production called enemy of my enemy. Narrative is important to my trailer because like Vlad Propp says there are limited character types that share the same function. Furthermore Strauss is a valid narrative theory as it says that narratives are structured by pairs of binary opposites and this is evident in my trailer because we have good v evil and teen punishment. todorovs theory shows an equilibrium (happy, normal, utopian place to be) then a problem that arises to destroy the happiness which is called distruption and finally there is the resolution which is when the characters get rid of the aggressor or ghost and everything goes back to normal. The problem with having the resolution in the trailer is that it ruins the whole point

Digital Technology essay

Introduction: When we walk about digital media technology our meaning is to do with applications such as photoshop, in design and final cut pro. It is also technology that allows people to find an audience through social media such as Instagram, snapchat and youtube through making and adapting already created products, this is very evident when people become prosumers and make things to do with fan-fiction.

I would say that my trailer is misogynistic due to the fact that there are are no females in the trailer which could connote patriarchy and male  dominance. The monster in the trailer could represent how males are in society and how they try to dominate everyone and everything. Firstly out of male gaze or scream queens i would say that our trailer applies to male gaze as although we don't have females in our trailer that we objectify we do have a view from male only perspectives, in my trailer all the camera shots were from either mine or Daniels point of view allowing the viewer to see from a male dominant view. This view is seen in the woods through out the trailer and you can see people dying and how
