Filming

We have finally managed to do the filming and it went well. We are able to use the footage to edit and are now on that process.

Roland Barthes

Action- a narrative device by a resolution is produced through action e.g. a shoot out.
Enigma- a narrative device that teases the audience by presenting a puzzle, wants to delay storys endings
Symbolic- (connotation)
Semic- (denotation)
Cultural- a narrative device which the audience can recognise as being part of a culture e.g. 'made man' in a gangstar film is part of a media culture.

Tzvetan Todorov

Tzvetan Todorov was a Bulgarian literacy theorist, he suggested that most narratives start with a state of equilibrium in which life is normal. This state of normality is then disrupted by an outside force which has to be fought against in order to retuurn to a state of equilibrium. This model can easily be applied to a wide range of film/tv.

Equilibrium
· a state of normality

->

Disequilibrium
· Disruption

->

New equilibrium
· A result of the disruption different to the initial equilibrium (new state of normality)



I applied this theory to Sex and the City the movie:

Equilibrium
· Carrie and Big looking for a place to live together, happy. Big proposes to Carrie they plan their wedding day

->

Disequilibrium
· Big leaves Carrie on their wedding day and doesn't turn up, they break up

->

New Equilibrium
· Big and Carrie finally get marries and City Hall

· Smartly dressed
· Well spoken
· Polite
· Calm

Criminal
· Bad
· Scruffy
· Common
· Impolite
· Stressed
