This story is about a undercover agent who works for the MI5 in London.
He has been given the hardest job in the world and he has to complete
the mission so he can get his revenge from the biggest mafia who had
killed his brother.
In the story the undercover agent meets on of the mafia’s girls and
straight away falls in love with her. What he did not no was the girl was
the head of the mafia’s wife. She tells the mafia boss who is played by
Sylvester Stallone and he gets his men and goes after the agent who is
played by Jason Statham. When he was caught by the mafia and got
drugged and if he did not do as he was told he would die so he got given
another job which was by the mafia too kill the MI5 boss.
- It’s a star vehicle
- A large production budget E.g. £100,000,000
- A large marketing budget
- A range of merchandising
- A wide demographic
- A holiday release date
- Worldwide release
- Equilibrium
- Disequilibrium
- Equilibrium
Todovov’s theory relates with my story a lot.
This is because the story starts of everybody's
happy and doing whatever they want. Later
the story goes all bad because the agent gets
caught by the mafia. Towards the end the
goodies defeat the baddies and this performs
the theory.
• The villain who usually creates the narrative
disruption.
• The donor gives the hero something, it may
be an object, information or advice, which
helps in resolution of the narrative.
• The helper aids the hero in the task of
restoring equilibrium.
• The princess (the victim) is usually the
character most threatened by the villain and
has to be saved, at the climax, by the hero. The
father's (who in fairy tales was often the king)
role is usually to give the princess away to the
hero at the narrative's conclusion. He may also
dispatch the hero.
• The dispatcher sends the hero on her or his
task (who can typically be the princess father)
• The false hero appears to be good but is
revealed, at the narrative's end, to have been
bad
Vladimir propp's theory also relates to my
story. This is because my story contains a
hero, villain, the donor and the
dispatcher. Although some of the
characters are missing, the story has got
the most important ones.
-The hermeneutic code
- The Enigma code
- The symbolic code
- The cultural code
- The semantic code
Roland Barthes's theory relates to my
story. The code that my story links to is
the enigma code and this is because my
story is an action film and throughout it
creates a lot of tension. The other code
that my story links with is the
hermeneutic code and this is because at
the beginning the audience does not
know how the agent plans his mission.
-Good - Evil
- Earth - Space
- Humans - Species
- Past - Present
- Normal - Strange
- Known - Unknown
Binary oppositions
Levi Strauss’s theory doesn’t relate to
my story. This is because there are
only one binary opposition which is
included in my story and its good and
evil. The other ones are not related.
The hypodermic needle is the information that suggests of it passing into a mass
consciousness. This theory suggests that as we are the audience we will be
manipulated, so this means that whatever we see within the media platforms we will
copy which will make us passive. This theory was first attempted in the 1930s as a
practice to see what the audience would do.
Research about the negative media effects
focus on the individual’s
physiology, emotion, attitude and cognition.
The media can create violence, fear and arouse
sentiments. The content can make and unmake
the decisions of people. People can kill
depending on the effect.
The mass communication theory of the two-step flow model describes how
firstly, certain individuals considered to be “opinion leaders” receive and
interpret information directly from mass media. They in turn pass on their
interpretations along with the media information itself, thus influencing their
subject’s interpretations.
Also known as the Multistep Flow Model is a
theory based on a 1940s study on social
influence that states that media effects are
indirectly established through the personal
influence of opinion leaders. The majority of
people receive much of their information and
are influenced by the media second
hand, through the personal influence of
opinion leaders.
Beginning in the 1940’s, researchers began
seeing patterns under the perspective of the
uses and gratifications theory in radio listeners.
Early research was concerned with topics such
as children's use of comics and the absence of
newspapers during a newspaper strike. An
interest in more psychological interpretations
emerged during this time period.
Uses and Gratifications Theory is an approach
to understanding why people actively seek out
specific media outlets and content for
gratification purposes. The theory discusses
how users proactively search for media that
will not only meet a given need but enhance
knowledge, social interactions and diversion .
It assumes that members of the audience are
not passive but take an active role in
interpreting and integrating media into their
own lives. The theory also holds that
audiences are responsible for choosing media
to meet their needs. The approach suggests
that people use the media to fulfil specific
gratifications. This theory would then imply
that the media compete against other
information sources for viewers' gratification
A basic acceptance of the meaning of a specific text tends to occur when a
group of readers have a shared cultural background and interpret the text in
similar ways. It is likely that the less shared heritage a reader has with the
artist, the less he/she will be able to recognise the artist's intended meaning,
and it follows that if two readers have vastly different cultural and personal
experiences, their reading of a text will vary greatly.
Reception theory is a version of reader
response literary theory that
emphasizes the reader's reception of a
literary text. It is more generally called
audience reception in the analysis of
communications models. In literary
studies, reception theory originated
from the work of Hans-Robert Jauss in
the late 1960s
