Film analysis
Verisimilitude
How real the world of the story appears to the audience - is it believable for example.
Diegesis/Diegetic
The world in which the film takes place.
Juxtaposition
Placing one object next to another to create meaning.
Narrative theory
Theories that categorise narratives and find features to common them.
Levi Strauss' Binary Opposition
Narrative tension is based on opposition or conflict. This can be as simple as two characters fighting, but more often functions at an ideological level.
Examples of Binary Opposition:
Camera: Tracking shots, medium shot, low angle close up shot.
Sound: There is both diegetic sound with character voices being heard and punch being heard, with non diegetic sound in too with background music to make scene more dramatic.
Analyse how micro features combine to create conflict in a media product you have studied.
In the bathroom fight sequence of The World's End, we see the protagonists fighting with the antagonists - a group of aliens masquerading as young people.
In terms of mise - en -scene the protagonists are a group of middle - aged men, whilst the young people are teenaged boys. This creates a binary opposite, as the film could be read as representing the conflict between the older and younger generation.
