Genre:Blog tasks

1) What example is provided of why visual iconographies are so important? Genres are categories or types of media text. Genres are recognisable through the repeated use of generic codes and conventions. e.g. the mise-en-scene of deep space, usually indicates the genre of sci fi 2) What examples are provided of the importance of narrative in identifying genre? Visual and aural iconographies are not the only way that genres can be identified. Genre can also be indicated in the way the story is told via its narrative (the structure of the story telling) and plot (the events and occurrences within the story). Good examples of this are Independence Day (1996: dir. R. Emmerich), Deep Impact (1998: M. Leder) and, more recently, The Day After Tomorrow (2004: dir. R. Emmerich).

Levi-Strauss saw language as an important aspect of culture because it allows people to categorise and represent objects and ideas with symbols. The way that ideas are represented in human thought and language usually takes the form of binary opposites such as life / death or ligh...

Narrative:blog tasks

Image
  1) Give an example from film or television that uses Todorov's narrative structure of equilibrium, disequilibrium and new equilibrium.  One example that uses Todorov narrative structure is Wallace and Gromit in the curse of the Were-Rabbit 2) Complete the activity on page 1 of the Factsheet: find a  clip  on YouTube of the opening of a new TV drama series (season 1, episode 1). Embed the clip in your blog and write an analysis of the narrative markers that help establish setting, character and plot. The opening  establishes setting, character, and plot. The visuals of prison bars, corridors, and guards ground the viewer in the confined world of Fox River State Penitentiary, while the cold colours and strict routines convey a sense of control and danger. We are introduced to Michael Scofield, whose calm, calculated nature contrasts with his brother Lincoln Burrows’ vulnerable situation on death row, immediately creating empathy and tension. The central plot who...
