| Questão | Responda |
| MEDIA THEORIES A2 EXAM | NARRATIVE |
| TODOROV 5 STATES | 1. Equilibrium: All is in order, characters, setting and narrative introduced (Adoption Process) 2. Disruption: A problem occurs to disrupt the equilibrium (Noticing Esther may be different) 3. Recognition of Disruption: Something happens that tells the audience/characters there’s a problem. (Esther kills) 4. Attempt to repair: Try to fix the problem. Things in this stage are a consequence of the problem that has occurred earlier. (Chase sequences) 5. New Equilibrium: Problems are solved. A new equilibrium is built. Narrative end. (Ambiguous) |
| Story: full sequence of events unfolding in chronological time. (Both) Plot: What shown/seen on screen, essential key points of story (done to maximise effects) Linear: Everything runs in chronological order (Both) Non-linear: Time and events don’t occur from start to finish (flashbacks, ellipsis, enigma) (Fixation) Open Narrative: continuous narrative, plot can continue (Swindler) Closed Narrative: clear beginning, middle and end | Strands - Single Plot: One narrative stand running throughout (Both) Double Plot: Two narrative stands Multiple Plot: Number of narrative strands Parallel: Number of plots unfolding at the same time, never interacting until the end Intertwined: Number of plots that weave in and out, ending bringing them all together |
| AUTEUR THEORY | Film directors who are considered to have a distinctive and recognisable style. E.g. James Cameron – Terminator, Aliens, Titanic & Avatar = Strong female, distinctive males, action, disaster, freedom morals |
| CHARACTER: PROPP 8 CHARACTER TYPES | (That apply) The Villain: Conflict with hero, stop them succeeding (The antagonist ‘Meredith’) The Hero: Leads narrative, trying to solve (The protagonist ‘Anna’) The Donor/Helper: Offers hero something to complete their quest (Person on phone) |
| MULVEY MALE GAZE | Feminist film theorist - films give the male perspective onto women that objectify them. Females = the primary erotic image, making men more dominant |
| DISMEMBERMENT | Sexual focus onto women, e.g. close ups (as if from male perspective) |
| FREUD FEAR OF CASTRATION | That without the male character being enforced by the female, the male cannot be dominant |
| AUDIENCE | Demographics: Income, age, gender, race, location Psychographics: Personality, values, opinions, lifestyle ----------------- Passive: Immediately accepts message without question Active: Question the message |

| Blumler & Katz Uses & Gratification Theory | Personal Identity: Self-reflected in texts, learning behaviour and values (Adoption, see self as the protagonist) Informal: To be information and educated about the world (Thrillers, adoption, different lives) Entertainment Escape: Amuse us, escape to everyday problems and routines (Thrillers/films in general, thrillers = most different to real life) Social Interaction: Using media to interact, feeling close to the media/characters (Thrillers & enigmas allow audiences to communicate) |
| TWO STEP FLOW | Leaders, audiences are more likely to believe and process information given to them by someone they trust. E.g. Celebrities - Was ruled out, until recent findings on twitter (Importance of social media, if friends share = more likely to consume) |
| INOCULATION THEORY | Passive audience, argument that long term exposure makes audience immune to the message being shown to them - Less shocked, thriller and horrors are often blamed for case studies - Media used as scapegoat? - Thrillers = have to push boundaries to effect audience w/ tension = not be stereotypical |
| MASLOW HIERARCHY OF NEEDS | Physiological, safety, esteem, cognitive, aesthetic, becomingness and self-actualisation - Most needed -> wants, need underneath to achieve the above (Cognitive – enigma, Aesthetic – need for art, Becomingness – feeling apart of the group) |
