Preliminary Task.

For our task we are going to have me and Dean playing MARVEL(c) Chess. Dean will walk down the corridor and enter the room, as he entersthe room we will have a match on action shot to show 2 different angles as he enters the room. Also we will use this show when he walks down the ramp to face me, the champion of chess. As they play we will have shot/reverse shots, over the shoulder, throughout the whole of this we will constantly keep to the 180* degree rule.

Narrative Theories Research

A Narrative is a story, as stories are endemic to our lives.

Narrative has probably exisisted as long as human beings have.

There are three narrative theories which consist of:

Binary Oppostions - create meaning through establishing what something is not, they can help establish who the 'good' and 'bad' characters are. The idea that we cannot conceive the concept of 'good' without the presence of 'bad' with which to compare.

Equilibrium - The life at the start
Disequilibrium - The problem that occurs
New state of equilibrium - The problem is resolved

Character TypeHero - Leads the narrative, on a quest to solve a problem
Villian - Conflicts with the hero
Heroine - Usually a sort of prize for the hero
Father - Authority figure who offers a reward for the hero
Helper - Helps the hero usually a sidekick
Donor - Gives the hero something - Powers, Gift, Key, Etc.
Mentor - Teaches and guides the hero through his quest.

In the opening of our film I think that all three of these will be majorly useful as they all do there own thing. Each one of them stands out in there own way, and is important in there own way.

Audience Research

Why is audience research important?

Audience research is important because if the film producers want there film to be successful then they must find out what the audience likes, so the audience go out and watch there film and in some cases ask for a sequel to be made.

How audiences are catergorized?
Audiences are catergorized by demographics.


Examples of audience are as follows: AGE, CLASS, HABITS, LIKES, DISLIKES, RELIGON, NATIONALITY, ETHINICTY, GENDER and IMAGE.

Genre Research

Genre is the term for any catergory of film.

Genre can offer a comforting reasurrance in a uncontrollable world.

It offers a set of easily recognisable conventions.

It was seen as a creative strategy used by producers to ensure audience identification and reduce the rise of a film failing.

This shows how genre is not static but is constantly recognised often between industry and audience.
