my thriller research

In my research for my coursework I have looked at different type of formats which can help represent my teen thriller movie. The 5 different formats I researched were sequence, trailer, short film, DVD cover+ poster and magazine covers + 2 articles.this included me watching 5 thrillers trailers,sequences,short films and looked at 5 dvd cover + posters, magazines covers + 2 articles these help me gather some information what is should do for my work

1The first format I looked at was a sequence which is a series of different shots or frame that show a short scene of a movie. Sequences are used to portrait a small scene of the movie that is being shown it helps leave the audience/viewer intrigued with what goes on in the movie for example that small scene of the movie informers and show the viewer’s how the movie is going to be set out.

The next format was a trailer this a clip that promote an up and coming movie that will be features. Trailer a have an average length of 2minutes within these two minutes there are about 20+ blackouts, dark music that create tension, also dark scenes to help reflect the plot of the movie. in thriller there are distorted message that can warn the antagonist

Poster are another way that thrillers movies can be presented they often have light background with large size font to help show the name of the movie the light background often has helps to define the main characters there more then on main characters. The movie posters can hint bits of the movies. The posters that I have looked at have scene or object with reflect and gives idea that what the movie can be based on.

Vladimir Propp was a scholar who developed a character theory for studying media texts and movie productions, which show that there were repetitive character types in the 100 tales he analysed, which could be applied to other media: The villain (struggles against the hero) The donor (prepares the hero or gives the hero some magical object).

A hero - A character that seeks something.
The villain - A person that stops the hero quest to succeed.  
The donor- A person that provides an object with magical properties.
The dispatcher- A person the send the hero on his or her quest through a message.
The false hero- A person that disrupts the hero quest by making false accusations.
The helper- Is someone that helps the hero throughout the hero's quest.
The princess- Is the reward for the hero and the objective of the villains plot. 
 

inside man character analysis

Dalton Russell(Clive Owen)

Is The leader of a bank heist that cunningly exacted. Dalton Russell character is shown to be smart serious,soft,patience and confidence. Dalton Russell was the one who organised the bank heist without error and he also got out of any problems throughout the movie in opinion he was seen to be the a protagonist because he didn't kill anyone throughout the movie he was only doing this because Christopher plummer  his ex-boss had be a traitor so he did what he think was right and robbed the bank.
 


Detective Keith Frazier

A New York City police detective with a scandal attached to his name who is desperate to make Detective First Grade. He is assigned to negotiate with the ringleader of a Manhattan bank heist.Detective Keith Frazier character is shown to be funny,smart,determined and ambitious. throughout the movie detective Frazier has been challenged and ends up to with a unsolved case but with the determination he has he end ups solving the case by taking it slow and looking for small details. detective Keith Frazier goal was to solve this case and take on a big challenge. in my opinion
dective keith frazier was shown to be a protagonist as he was trying to serve justic. 



 


Christopher plummer

The chairman of the board of directors and founder of the fictional Manhattan Trust bank. In response to the bank heist, Case hires White to prevent a possible career-ending situation. Christopher plummer character was shown to be weak evil and mysterious. Christopher plummer in some aspect was the cause of the bank heist as he had been a traitor towards the bank robbers.in my opinion christopher plummer is the antagonist as he was the cause of the bank heist and made a bad deal in the past with the Nazi to help build his empire.

 Todorovs theory
 Todorov's narrative theory suggests that all  narratives follow a three part structure where  they begin with equilibrium, where everything is  balanced, progress as something comes along to disrupt that equilibrium, and finally reach a resolution, when equilibrium is restored.

The different stage of a narrative

1. A state of equilibrium (All is as it should be.)

2. A disruption of that order by an event.

3. A recognition that the disorder has occurred.

4. An attempt to repair the damage of the disruption.

5. A return or restoration of a NEW equilibrium
