The final girl
The document discusses the "final girl theory" developed by Carol Clover. The final girl is the last character left alive at the end of a slasher film who confronts the killer. She is typically an intelligent, curious, and vigilant character who moves the narrative forward. According to Clover, final girls sometimes have unisex names and occasionally share a history with the killer. While some have criticized the theory as predictable, Clover argued it subverted the typical sexualized representation of women in horror films by positioning the audience to identify with the surviving female character rather than the killer.
Genre research conclusion
The document discusses common themes in action-adventure genre movies. Most leads have traditionally been male, though some recent films have featured female leads like Hanna and Lara Croft. Women are often portrayed as evil, sidekicks, or needing to be rescued. Death is a recurring theme, with characters facing threats, losing friends, or potential death themselves. In conclusion, these themes of stereotypical women roles, male-centered stories, and the prevalence of death are consistent across many action-adventure genre films.
The crazies film analysis
The Crazies is a 2010 remake of the 1973 film of the same name. It follows the sheriff of Ogden Marsh, Iowa and his pregnant wife as they try to escape the town when its water supply infects residents with a disease that turns them violent. While the film challenges some classic narrative and character theories, it still presents a coherent story with discernible heroes and villains that keeps audiences engaged. It uses time in novel ways, with the plot spanning 3 days but the story 3 weeks. Gender roles are also subverted somewhat, with the wife playing a strong survival role atypical of classic theories. Overall the film offers a fresh perspective while maintaining narrative success.

Final girl
Slasher movies typically feature certain tropes:
1) The final girl who survives is often darker haired and less sexually active, meant to convey that sex is dangerous.
2) The monster wears a mask, making it scary because it could be anyone underneath and adding to the creepiness.
3) A group of friends who are without parental supervision are usually targeted when the monster attacks.
4) These movies often feature a benefactor, usually an older character like a police officer or doctor, who is seemingly committed the killings but is ultimately revealed to not be at the end.
Clover’s final girl theory
Carol Clover developed the "Final Girl" theory to describe the last female character who confronts the killer in horror films, especially slashers. The Final Girl is often a virgin or sexually unavailable, smart, and curious. She survives to tell the story. For example, in Scream, Sidney Prescott fits this role as the intelligent virgin teenager who fights back against the killer across multiple films, growing stronger each time.
The Final Girl Theory by Carol J. Clover
The document discusses Carol J. Clover's "final girl" theory about horror films. The theory proposes that slasher films usually have a sole female survivor who confronts and challenges the killer at the end of the movie. This "final girl" tends to be intelligent, curious, and determined to survive. Examples given include Laurie Strode from Halloween and Sidney Prescott from Scream. The character of Ginny from Friday the 13th Part 2 is analyzed as exemplifying the traits of the resourceful "final girl."
The final girl theory
The document discusses Carol J. Clover's "Final Girl Theory" about horror film tropes. It notes that Clover identified viewers initially share perspectives of both the killer and victims but come to solely identify with the "final girl" - the last surviving female. The main plot of horror films involves a group of victims being hunted one by one by a killer until only one, a final girl, is left to kill the killer or escape. The final girl is often sexually unavailable and pursues the killer actively through curiosity and intelligence, taking on masculine traits like weapons. For a horror film to succeed, it needs the final girl to express abject terror, as viewers would reject this emotion coming from a male character.

The traditional representation of women (questions)
The document discusses the traditional representation of women in media texts such as films and magazines. It provides details on tropes like the "final girl" in horror films and the four common roles of women in media identified in 1983: domestic, sexual, consumer, and marital. Research from 1992 found that men outnumbered women on screen by a ratio of 2 to 1, with the sole exception being primetime TV ads. The document also discusses how some characters like Lara Croft are seen as a step back from earlier stronger female protagonists like Ripley in Alien due to increased sexual objectification. Magazines are also noted to often portray women based on their domestic roles, sexuality, and through the "three C's"
The representation of gender within the horror film
The document discusses the representation of gender in horror films, noting that initially females are often portrayed in traditional stereotypical roles but that these roles are sometimes subverted by the end of the films. It explores how the "male gaze" objectifies women through camera techniques but that in some cases, like The Shining, this is undermined. While most films initially follow stereotypical gender ratios and roles, by the end some allow females to behave in less typical ways once normality has broken down.
Stock characters in horror films
The document outlines several common stock characters that are often seen in horror films. The wanderer is typically the first victim who wanders off and gets killed for being curious and naive. The popular girl is attractive but mean-spirited and often friends with the final girl, meeting an early demise. The jock is athletic and tries to protect others but ultimately fails when battling the antagonist. The final girl is smarter than the others and the sole survivor the audience follows. Pandora's curiosity opens dangerous possibilities as they sometimes turn out to be the hidden killer. The pervert lusts sexually for others and dies due to lack of self-protection from distraction.
Horror Movie Posters Analysis
This document summarizes and analyzes three horror movie posters: Rosemary's Baby (1968), I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), and Hostel (2005).
For Rosemary's Baby, the poster sets a chilling tone through its use of a green color and silhouette imagery that hints at something being out of balance with an innocent child as the cause of fright.
For I Know What You Did Last Summer, the poster creates mystery through its use of blues and a faceless threatening figure, suggesting the threat of "backyard horror" in everyday life. It also plays on teen horror movie tropes.
For Hostel, the poster contrasts the warmth of yellow lighting with the weapon-w

The document also outlines some of Clover's key arguments for the theory, such as how the audience's identification shifts from the killer's perspective to the Final Girl's. It provides examples of films that conform to the Final Girl trope and discusses Freudian interpretations of audiences' motivations for watching violent acts against women in horror films.
Representation of women in horror

Representation of women in horror essay
This document discusses the representation of women in horror films from the 1950s to present day. It analyzes several key theories on this topic. The male gaze theory from the 1970s suggests that films are told from the perspective of a heterosexual male viewer and portray women as objects. Analyzing films from the 1970s supports this theory. The 1980s saw women often depicted as submissive and domestic. Jeremy Tunstall's 1983 theory found women portrayed as consumers and mothers. While Poltergeist from 1985 reflects some aspects of this, the main female fights back, challenging the theory.

The Spanish settlement in Hispaniola in the 16th century had devastating effects on the native Taino population, drastically reducing their numbers through forced labor and exposure to diseases. The establishment of plantations and mines focused on extracting gold and other resources for profit. This made Hispaniola an important hub for the expanding Spanish colonial empire in the Caribbean and launched the colonization of other islands.

Wrong turn film analysis
The document provides a film analysis of the 2003 horror movie Wrong Turn. It discusses several key narrative theories and how they apply to the plot and characters of the film. The movie follows a group of teenagers who become stranded in the woods and must fight for survival against a family of inbred cannibals. The analysis examines how the film establishes an initial equilibrium, introduces disruptive events, and establishes a new resolution at the end as described by Tzvetan Todorov's narrative theory. It also discusses how the film employs common binary oppositions of good vs evil characters and demonstrates other typical horror film conventions outlined by theorists like Carol Clover and Vladimir Propp.
Feminist Film Theory
This document provides a summary and analysis of the films Legally Blonde (2001) and Picture Perfect (1997) through the lens of feminist film theory. It discusses how the films represent femininity and gender roles, as well as stereotypes like the "dumb blonde." Both films challenge stereotypes by showing strong, intelligent female leads who face gender inequality but prevail. While some scenes rely on objectification of the female characters for male pleasure, overall the films push back against patriarchal norms and unrealistic representations of women in media.
Gender in american beauty research pro forma
The document contains notes and potential topics for an essay on the portrayal of gender in films. It discusses several films from the 1990s and 2000s and how they portray gender roles and stereotypes. Theories from Gaye Tuchman, Laura Mulvey, and David Gauntlett on media representation of gender are summarized. Notes are provided on specific characters from American Beauty, including Angela Hayes, Carolyn Burnham, and the film's depiction of masculinity in the 1990s context. The family dynamic in the film is analyzed in relation to functionalist perspectives on the nuclear family model.
Creative investigation essay
The document summarizes Bethany Coxon's research on the representation of female protagonists in the romance films Beastly, The Lucky One, and Dear John. It finds that the main female characters, Lindy, Beth, and Savannah, challenge stereotypes by being independent, hard-working women rather than stereotypical romantic interests. While they conform to some stereotypes like hair color, their characterization and behaviors are portrayed positively. The document also analyzes how these films challenge Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze and Tessa Perkins' theory on stereotypes.
Halloween Film Analysis
Halloween was directed by John Carpenter in 1978 and is considered one of the most iconic slasher films. It follows the story of Michael Myers, who kills his sister at age 6 and is institutionalized, then escapes 15 years later to return to his hometown. The film challenges some classic horror structures by having two disruptive events rather than one. It also uses common horror tropes like the final girl and establishes clear good vs. evil binary oppositions between Michael and the protagonist Laurie. Overall, the film effectively utilizes many classic media theories around narrative, characters, and gender to great success and influence subsequent slasher films.

The genre of supernatural/paranormal horror is discussed along with conventions seen in trailers. Consideration is given to audiences and institutions in promoting the film through advertising stars, teasers, and generating hype.
