Get Out 2017 Jordan Peele Protagonist:The protagonist could be considered to be himself. Antagonist:The antagonistis also his mind which is trigered by his girlsfriends family which can also be the antagonists. Theme: Racism Stock Characters: Chris, Rose, Walter, Rod Williams Stock Situations:He is trapped in his girlfriends house. Her Mother seemed to dislike him. Icons: Knives which are a danger sign. Ropes used to make sure he didn't move and because the theme of the film is about racism ropes could refer to hanging. Background & Decor: The mouse on the wall Equilibrium:The man goes to meet his girlfriends family and the end up travelling to a quiet neighbourhood. Disequilibrium:When the girls mother starts to treat the boy differently and calls him to sit with her in the living room when everyone is asleep. Resolution: At the end the mans best friend help find him and the man killed the people chasing him Film Review: This film channels horror into a new kind making it about racism as the family of his girlfriend treats him differently. This horror is especially for black people and also reminds them of slavery. Cabin In The Woods 13 April 2012 Drew Goddard Protagonist: Dana= Virgin Holden= Scholar Curt= Athlete Jules= Whore Marty= Fool Antagonist: There are a number of different species of supernatural creatures used to murder the five sacrificesfor their ritual.

They recognise the distribution when strange things keep happenin. Resolution:At the end the world fell and ended because of their decisions. Film Review: This film is a metaphor for the heavily controlled society we live in that is under the control of the dark, hidden forces. The film can also be seen in a religious sense because it is said that it is 'their own free will' so they are controlled but not in everything they do. Annabelle Creation 2017 David Sandberg Protagonist: The first character which has a faulty leg once she unlocks the evil doll the other girls become the protagonists too Antagonist: The Doll Theme: Evil preys on the week, Disobedience, Teen punishment Stock Characters: Samuel, Bee, Esther, Victor, Linda, Janice, Sister Charlotte, Father Massey, Carol, Nancy Stock Situations: The wife is mysterious, the doll goes after the sinners Icons: NA Background & Decor: Dolls, Toys, Wooden Toy House Equilibrium:The Orphans ate moving to another house. The two main girls talk about always being together Disequilibrium: When the girls start seeing things like when the two girls under the sheets telling stories Resolution: Once Sister Charlotte figures out whats going on the owner of the house as well as his wife are informed and try to get rid of the evil spirit posessing the doll Film Review: This film mainly focuses on disobedience as the girl does something she was not told to do (goes into the room). The girl confesses her sin which links it to the religious aspects.

Conventions of Real Media Texts

"Explain how significant were the Conventions of Real Media Texts in your development of creativity across your 2 years of production work." At AS I produced a hip hop/r & b music magazine and at A2 I am in the process of completing my horror teaser trailer. A convention is seen as a norm that is constantly repeated. An example of a convention is applying the key colour gold which connotes wealth as well as majestic nature. An example of a convention in A2 is the Final Girl that Clover mentions as well as the ‘rules’ that apply to this certain character/convention for example she is usually a virgin in to connote purity and sets herself apart from the other teenagers who have been taken over by this sexual nature. This stock character typically used in Slashers has been reinforced an example of this is in cabin in the woods where the Dana is the Final Girl however in my trailer we are subverting this idea by changing the final girl to a final boy. In AS I was

Dawn of the dead June 29 1980 Zack Synder Zombie The first scene shows a moon that basically covers 3/4 this is effective as darkness is taking over the world leading the viewers to the assumption that evil near. This could be considered as a warning sign. Another thing I notice is that when the woman screams the audience start to question what is going on, however when the man screams it’s almost as if the zombies have stripped him of his masculinity. This further suggests that zombies (similar to vampires) are a sexual representations which could link to religious points of all. "It will consume us all" frightens us because we are scared of what we have no control over "accurate vision...the mindless excess of our society" is said when the zombies grab the woman’s jewellery this links to consumerism. Halloween 31st August 2007 John Carpenter Slasher The first scene is an establishing shot that shows a house that’s white which suggests purity is surrounded

Representation: Final Girl Refers to the last woman alive to confront the killer. Film examples include Alien released on the 12 May 2017 and Halloween released on the 26 October 2012. The final girl is usually pure/virgin who the killer doesn’t come for because she has not done anything or should I say taken part in the sexual nature which has become the norm in modern society. The final girl commonly appears in Slasher horror movies with teenagers and the main theme is teen punishment but for the final girl does not need to be because she is innocent as a result the girl is spared. This girl is spared as intelligent and intellectual in comparison to those around her, which are the other key stock characters for example the dub blonde, the jock, the wanderer and . The final girl is usually the hero if she if not her then it is the jock. She is seen as attractive and the damsel in distress which enables the audience to sympathize with her as she is portrayed to be weak and vulnerable
