THE END

Vladimir Propp

Vladimir Propp, the Russian critic that published his Morphology of the Folk Tale in the 1928 when the soviet was gooding great he found out that folk tales were very similar, they all had a the basic struggles and seemed to have the same stock of characters. He showed us the theory about the characters.

Characters that perform a function

The Hero	character that seeks something
The Villain	who opposes or actively blocks the hero’s quest
The Donor	who provides an object with magical properties
The Dispatcher	who sends the hero on his/her quest via a message
The False Hero	who disrupts the hero’s success by making false claims
The Helper	who aids the hero
The Princess	acts as the reward for the hero and the object of the villain’s plots
Her Father	who acts to reward the hero for his effort

                                                                                                                                                                                       

It’s about avoiding treating characters as if they are individuals and tells us they are manmade constructs. Some characters are indeed there just to progress the narrative.

Beauty and the Beast

The Villain – who opposes or actively blocks the hero’s quest

Gaston thinks of himself as the best person in the village, made wants to marry the best women in the village Bella, he is humiliated when she rejects him, as the story goes along Gaston becomes jealous then make a mob to save Bella and to kill the beast, he fights with the beast and shoots an arrow at and taunts him about his looks. However the villain falls to his death.

The hero-

The beast, which has had a spell put on him and needs to break the curse to become human again. He falls in love with the princess (Bella) the beast has a fight with the villain and get stab be him however the beast does fall of the castle. Bella come to his aid whist the beast is dying but the curse is broken to he becomes human then carry’s on to marry the princess (Bella)

The princess-Bella is the inventor’s daughter that loves to read book and help her feather, Bella at the end when she falls in love with the beast she lay with him (the beast) in his dyeing monument she confesses the love she had for the beast at the same time as the last petal falls form the magically rose. The love that Bella has for the hero brings the beast back to life and wipes of the curse.

The Princess (acts as the reward for the hero and the object of the villain’s plots)

Rapunzel Is another Disney princess, with over 70 feet of blond hair with magic powers that heal and reverse aging when a special song is sung

Flower gleam and glow,

Let your power shine.

Make the clock reverse,

Bring back what once was mine.

Heal what has been hurt,

Change the fate's design,

Save what has been lost.

Bring back what once was mine.

What once was mine?

She was kidnapped by the villain Mother Gothel when she was an infant whilst in her coot sleeping. Rose in a tower up to her 18^th birthday. Rapunzel watches the “lights in the sky” on her 18^th birthday the hero stumbles across her tower and gets hit around the head with a frying pan this results in the hero being knock out she keeps the hero hostage un till he argues to her demand and after he takes her to see the “lights in the sky” he will get his item back. In this case I believe the princess is also the Father (who acts to reward the hero for his effort at the end)

The Villain – who opposes or actively blocks the hero’s quest

Mother Gothel is Rapunzel’s up bringer only because she kidnaped Rapunzel at a young age in had her live in a tower for 18 years. The up bringer that puts Rapunzel down so she can have her power at any time. She tries to stop the hero and the princess by catching up with the princess and demands that she will come home with her but her plan fails so she hires two men to catch Rapunzel and to bring her back and to what they want with the hero.

The Helper – who aids the hero?

Maximus the horse, he helps both the princess and the hero. Maximus helps the princess find her way safely to the city and protects the hero not to get arrested.

Hegemony&Social realism

Hegemony:  is a system where a single social group or country changes the system in a way so the event seems justifiable.

Social realism: is to support a person or country for example portraying a dictator surrounded by young children.

PRIME OCR.EXT.AVI HOW IS GENDER SHOWN?

Both genders are in the clip, male and females. 3 females and 4 males. The first women we see in the clip for about 10 seconds in addition she seems to be in an emotional state walking toward the car to that is motionless by a male being asked “what’s wrong” and then responding “none of this should be happening…none of it!” then walking off to the car. The manner of voice that the male has whilst chatting to the women displays that he is a kind hearted person disturbed for this woman and the women is intensely worried about the situation and gives the male a two second deep stare whist opening the door of the car. When the male is walking back he is told by an older man that to “let her go” and “she has been though a lot” this could mean the older male has a different look towards women for instance he could see women as emotional unstable and unpredictable like how women were seen as in the past.

The next seen we see a male, female and some sort of leopard. We see a female operating an enormous digging machine, normally a man would be seen operating this sort of machine as it’s seen to be masculine though the woman is wearing a black leather jacket and that too is seen to be masculine. Shortly after digging a creature appears and frightens the male so much that he hides in a hole and cries for help “abbey!” whist the female is fighting the creature she doesn’t reply because she is in control and eventful theses are the same charactistics of a man playing an game in a intense level such as not replying and keeping the eye on the objective. Also the female turns on the machine after being told to turn it off because she sees herself as the leader and in control. As the creature come to attack the male the female demands the attention of it by shouting “oi” this word “oi” is seen as a un feminine word. Then carries on to have a fight with the creature, the creature looks to be some sort of animal form the leopard line , the leopard is seen as a feminine animal and the fight suggest that the female is fighting another female to protect the male so the female is also shown to protect the man form other females. Soon after the male climbs out of the hole and calls for the action of the creature and starts to run this can put it to somebody that a man that lets a woman to be in control to be week and will run from danger later to be protected by the female armed with a gun.

Next, a sense  in a barn with a male and a female. The woman is wearing a black dress this could be related to the women in the red dress from the matrix seeing as the female works for the media and the women is red works for the system. The male seems to be under pressure and weaken by the female that putting his lively hood under risk. When the male grabs and points the gun this backs up the stereotype that the male will go toward the gun as a means of comfort and way to fix things and the female that does not have a weapon she talks to the male pleading not to shot. When the female saved by the other characters she says “should of shot him, this was my best coat” this backs up the stereotype of women being fashion obsessed.

Camera angels work for the character instead for against them for example if the camera needs to show the male or female as powerful or week it did so, sound was used to set our feelings on the right path for example when the male was being chased by the creature the background music was very fast and undermined to show that the male was in fact running for his life and needed to make a quick getaway.

So gender is shown as a mixed person view, you can get the masculine and in control women for example like the women that was in control of the digger and women for instance in the barn ‘fashion obsessed’  and dressed in fine clothes. The men in the clip they a different between them to they is the older male that believes females need to be left alone to sort their complications out and the younger male that is worried about the women and feels to help and the weaker male that needs a female to save him for danger’s mistake that he might commit. So they both sexes and all have different personalities and characteristics form one another and all are shown in the clip.

Spooks Extract.AS Media Studies OCR

At the beginning of this clip there is a high angle shot to show us who are the people in charge at the moment and they are the two people not tied up. Frist we notice that the leader talking to the people is not wearing a tie but an open-necked shirt this gives us a clue of his ethnicity because in Middle Eastern country for example Iran ties are viewed as un-Islamic and have be said by the country’s supreme leader to contributing to the spreading of western culture. However the male talks about the news and there is a shallow focus when the camera fits in the woman, she is in the rule of thirds, he carries on to talk about the new and confirm that he is frim Iraqi when he say “my people” and “my country men” and also “to Iraq” also he says “Iraq” he says it in the accent of his 1^st language. “We are all Al-Qaeda now” basically brands all Iraqi’s as terrorists meaning all Iraqi’s will try and take revenge for the war in Iraq. When the women specks the camera angle goes to an eye match shot of the other agents that is tied up. Next the male asks the female to read a message into the camera when but when she’s asks question’s her panther is at risk “that man can cut your throats very easily the male with a mask has a gun in the scene but would rather go to cut his throat.”  

Many camera angles are used though out such as POV (point of view) to emphasize that fact that this is secret with only one another handheld camera in the field of vision in one part of the clip also with the POV shot in this since we see what the character is seeing even the short looks at the other individual tied up giving the look of desperation to the character. Handheld is used to show us the drama that’s being taken place also takes away the fact that this sort of issues isn’t just made for TV but actually occurs. Close ups at such thing for example the camera an editing effect is also used to and that is pulling focus to add dramatic meaning to the object and what is going to happen in a lot of terrorist gender movies the handheld camera on a tri pod that means the hostage is going to demand such item to keep them alive. The ethnicity of the officers is important to the male because they’re western spies and the Iraqi’s are represented as people who have gave up and act through any means necessary but the people who started the ‘war on terror’
