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.
Feminism: Male Gaze
The term gaze describes how the viewers engage with visual media. The “male gaze” is sexual politics of the gaze and suggests a sexualised way of looking at that empowers men and objectifies women in a patriarchal society. In the “male gaze” women are visually positioned as an object of heterosexual/ male desire. Her feelings thoughts and her own sexual desires do not matter or less important than her being framed by the male wants an example of this would be the seen in cabin in the woods where the popular blonde girl and the jock have sex and they have been lead to that decision by the control centre (who are males) that make sure certain things happen and when they do have sex their eyes are fixated on them both (it’s like porn). Films do tend to sexualise women as most of the time they show bare skin which is seen as attractive.
Genre Development (Neale)
1. Experimental
2. Classical
3. Parody
4. Deconstruction
Neale says genres are instances of repetition of repetitionand difference however it is essential that genre is not always repeting itself as it can get boring. Representation: Zombies, materialism & violence (Kim Paffenroth)
Narrative: Binary Opposition (Levi Strauss)
This is the exact opposite of the word. A prime example in horror filmsis the final girl andthe slutty blonde. Another is the antagonist and protagonist. Main themes that incorporate binary opposition such as Good vs Evil or Masculinity vs Femeninity.
Narrative: Act Structure (Todorov)
Todorov comes up with three acts. Equilibrium is the beginning where everything is fine then after this comes the disequilibrium when chaos begins and a problem arises. The main part of the film is the disequilibrium as its a horror and thats what the audience want to watch. Then there resolution, in the final act the final act the problem is resolved for now and this happens at theend of the film.
Narrative:Character Types
The villain challenges the hero. The despatcher: Alerts the hero of the vilain Heeper: The sidechick, helps the hero in one way The donor: Prepares the hero False hero: Pretends to be the hero
