This document is an essay plan analyzing gender representation in three horror films: Dracula, The Descent, and 28 Days Later. For Dracula, it notes that men are portrayed as strong patriarchal figures while women are punished for their sexuality. The Descent breaks conventions by focusing on strong, independent female characters who fight back instead of waiting to be saved. However, they all ultimately die. 28 Days Later shows a reversal in the roles of the main characters Jim and Selena as they take on parental roles, with Jim becoming more primitive and protective. The plan concludes by stating gender representation differs in all three films and will provide a personal response while discussing horror genre conventions and differences between British and American films.

Gender representations Within Movies!
After analyzing many movie trailers and posters, the document finds that there are clear gender stereotypes in how women and men are portrayed in horror media. Women are often sexually objectified and depicted as emotional, while men are shown as tough and protective. Males usually take on active, leading roles, whereas females are usually part of a group and take passive, supporting roles. Additionally, women are often only young and white, while men can be depicted across ages, races and classes. However, the horror genre sometimes challenges these norms through characters like the "final girl", who can be more masculine and survive to the end.

Introduction: "To Kill a Mockingbird"
The document provides historical context about the setting of To Kill a Mockingbird, specifically discussing: 1) the American South's reliance on slavery and poor treatment of African Americans after the Civil War through Jim Crow laws and segregation; 2) the parallels between the infamous Scottsboro trials of the 1930s and the fictional trial of Tom Robinson, including false rape accusations against black men and all-white juries ignoring evidence; and 3) how Harper Lee used the novel to showcase the persistence of racism in the South and call for social change during the civil rights movement.
The Crucible
The document provides context about Arthur Miller's play The Crucible. It was written in 1952 and set in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 during the Salem Witch Trials. Miller used the historical events of the witch trials as an allegory to parallel the anti-Communist hysteria of the 1950s led by Senator Joseph McCarthy. The play examines themes of intolerance, hysteria, and the danger of one's reputation being ruined by association alone.
The gothic
The document outlines key elements of the Gothic genre, including that it is a form of Romantic literature that emerged in reaction to other Romantic works between 1790-1830. It was influenced by medieval settings and often featured ruined castles, with plots blurring fantasy and reality involving pursuit, entrapment, and escape. Common characters included isolated male protagonists of high social rank and dark-haired female victims, and themes involved depicting a fallen world, the sublime, madness, secrets, lies, and fear.
Evaluation Question 2
The media product represents teenagers aged 17-20, with most of the actors also being teenagers. It also represents stereotypical zombies based on films like Night of the Living Dead, with vacant expressions, wounds, and torn clothing. The protagonists, a male and female teenager, are based on characters from Dead Rising and Alien, with their clothing and lack of weapons reflecting this. Both protagonists react based on instincts, with the female fleeing and the male fighting the zombies, initially portraying typical gender roles but potentially subverting them if the female's choice leads to her survival.
Stock character presentation
This document summarizes common stock characters found in slasher horror films, including the wanderer, the popular girl, the jock, the final girl, the pervert, and the pandora.

The jock is an athletic, popular boy and the leader, but does not survive. The final girl has a good heart and survives the entire film as the protagonist. The pervert is sexually motivated and may be the killer. Finally, the pandora seems harmless but turns out to be the surprise killer.
Propps character types
Vladimir Propp was a Russian scholar who developed a theory of character types in narratives. He proposed that there are seven main character types that appear in stories: the hero, the villain, the donor, the princess, the helper, the princess' father, and the false hero. Each character type performs a specific narrative function, such as the hero embarking on a quest or the villain opposing the hero. However, critics argue that Propp's theory does not apply to all stories, as some narratives feature different or more complex character configurations than his proposed types.

Feminism
The document discusses representations of women in media. It notes that while feminism has brought significant changes to women's roles over 40+ years, media representations remain largely the same. Women are predominantly portrayed based on narrow standards of beauty, size, and sexuality and tend to be emotional and focused on relationships rather than independence. They often take passive, helper roles in dramas and are victims more than active characters. Men are represented 3 times more in TV dramas and tend to be the focus of news stories. Stereotypical portrayals that conform to societal expectations are more common, and non-conforming characters are seen as deviant and face consequences.

Types of Conflicts Found in Literature
Below is a list of possible conflicts found in literature. Select each conflict to learn more. To help you
better understand each conflict and how it might be apparent, examples from popular culture have been
provided. Please also note that it is possible for a text to have more than one conflict at work. The
repeated references to conflicts in The Simpsons provide further context on how multiple conflicts might
be present in a single work. Other examples of conflict are also provided.

Individual versus Technology
Individual versus Self
Individual versus Individual (Kahn vs. Captain Kirk, Tom vs. Jerry) Return
Example: Homer Simpson’s profound dislike of Ned Flanders in The Simpsons is
unavoidably obvious. The two men are as different as night and day. Though Ned Flanders
seems unaware that he is Homer Simpson’s antagonist, to everyone who watches, it is
obvious that Ned plays this role.
Example: One of the funniest movies about individuals opposing each other is called The
Ref, where a cat burglar gets caught in a house with a warring husband and wife. Other
members of this dysfunctional family also add to the conflict. View The Ref (1994) fan

Individual versus Nature Return
Example: One of the first episodes of The Simpsons features a hilarious scenario in which
Homer takes the family camping in the woods. Things end disastrously for Homer and Bart,
while Marge, Lisa, and Maggie successfully brave the wild. This episode has an interesting
underlying argument at work about the relationship between humans today and nature.
Example: Several books and movies show mountain climbers daring to scale the most

Week 04 short stories discussion points
This document provides discussion questions about several short stories by American authors, including Katherine Anne Porter, F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Richard Wright, Eudora Welty, Isaac Bashevis Singer, James Baldwin, and Flannery O'Connor. The questions address themes of coming of age, social class, racism, and love in the American South from the early 20th century through the 1960s civil rights era. Students are prompted to analyze characters, techniques, symbols, and compare the stories across authors and time periods.
Question 2
RDO represents several social groups in its opening scenes:
1) Males are portrayed as strong, brave survivors, exemplified by the protagonist, though the ruthless Radio Host shows a darker side.
2) Females are traditionally depicted as weaker, like the infected woman who is killed, though she and her daughter show strength as survivors.
3) Younger and older age groups are shown accordingly - the 11-year-old girl as vulnerable and the 20/30-somethings as streetwise but confused.
4) Nationalities are stereotyped to an extent with the crazy American Radio Host contrasted against sane British protagonists.
SHORT STORY FROM HISTORY TO ELEMENTS
Short stories have their origins in oral storytelling traditions from ancient epics like Homer's works. Over time, short sections of stories told in verse evolved into short prose narratives that could be told in a single sitting. Some of the earliest published short stories appeared between 1790-1810, though true short story collections emerged between 1810-1830. During the 19th century, the growth of magazines and journals fueled demand for short fiction of 3,000-15,000 words. Many famous authors contributed short stories during this time, helping establish the short story as a popular genre. The 20th century saw continued experimentation and growth in the short story form across various regions and time periods.
Horror essay
This document provides an overview of horror films including their history, genres, themes, and audience reception. It discusses how horror films aim to frighten audiences while also entertaining them. Early horror films were influenced by Gothic literature and silent German films. More recently, religious themes have become popular. The document also examines the portrayal of gender in horror films and how this has changed over time with women increasingly depicted as strong protagonists. It explores theories around audience reception and how meanings can differ between encoding and decoding of messages in films.
The Yellow Wallpaper Essay
The document discusses writing an essay about Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper." It notes that such an essay requires navigating the psychological depth and symbols in the story, as well as understanding the historical context and feminist themes. Successfully analyzing the text demands exploring how it depicts the protagonist's descent into madness and influences subsequent feminist literature.
Aspects of narrative answers
This document introduces four key narrative theories:
1. Propp's 7 character archetypes including hero, villain, donor, etc. Examples from Star Wars are given.
2. Todorov's 5-stage narrative structure of equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, new equilibrium. An example film is requested.
3. Levi-Strauss' concept of binary oppositions creating tension, with examples of social classes and sexuality.
4. Barthes' idea of the narrative enigma that creates puzzles driving the story.
The document asks the reader to apply these theories to their own fictional narrative and provides information and examples to help understand each concept.
Evaluation 2
The document discusses several common stereotypes in films involving the representation of social groups. It notes that women are often portrayed as weak and in need of saving, especially in action and thriller genres. However, some recent blockbuster films have featured strong female protagonists who are the heroes. When it comes to the portrayal of teenagers and racial minorities, stereotypes from music and media have often involved criminal or negative behavior. However, some films like Attack the Block and Moonlight have challenged these stereotypes by portraying teenagers and people of color in a more positive or nuanced light. The document also analyzes how some of these stereotypes are both embraced and subverted in the film being discussed.
Social Commentary Essay on Drama Objective Write a 500- 750 wor.docx
Social Commentary Essay on Drama
Objective: Write a 500- 750 word social commentary essay in MLA format (remember to use the appropriate headings and margins) about one of the dramas covered in the previous module (“Glaspell’s “Trifles” or Albee’s “The Zoo Story”). Include 5 paragraphs and underline your thesis.
Topic One:
Social Commentary on Alienation in American Society
Albee’s “The Zoo Story” was a critical success from its first performance; theater critic, Martin Esslin, has cited the play's attack on "the very foundations of American optimism” in the Jerry/Peter interaction which, ultimately, ends with Jerry’s death. If this play is, indeed, an exploration of isolation in America, how does it connect this social commentary to class and status?
In your essay, take the characters of Jerry and Peter and explain how their meeting at the zoo illustrates the conflicts between classes in America. Make certain you have a thesis that explains how the two characters cannot find common ground and, eventually, end up in a violent confrontation. Use dialog from the play to support your points.
Topic Two:
Social Commentary on Failure of Communication between the Classes
Albee’s play, “The Zoo Story” is fundamentally about the failure of communication between two men who meet on a bench in the zoo. In your essay, take the two characters and explain points of communication in the play, and how they fail to connect.
Some areas you might bring into the essay are their relationship status (Peter is married; Jerry has a string of failed relationships), their economic disparity (they have very different financial status), and their social status. You should also explain how the failure of communication can lead to violence and, even, death. What does the ending state about need to connect through language?
Topic Three
:
Social Commentary on Small-Town America Division between Men and Women
In Susan Glaspell’s play, “Trifles,” she sets the plot around a murder mystery that she covered as a journalist in Iowa in which a wife killed her husband. In her dramatic version, several members of the community (including the sheriff) enter Minnie’s house to investigate her husband’s death. The men question Minnie, but the women realize that Minnie killed her husband—and they conceal the evidence.
In your essay, take the focus of a male and female character in relation to Minnie. How does their approach to knowing the “truth” differs depending on their gender? Is their reaction to the husband’s possible abuse also defined by their gender? What is the ultimate message about small-town American lives? Do men and women inhabit separate worlds?

Film Sub Genres
This document defines and provides examples of various film sub-genres, including biopics, chick flicks, courtroom dramas, detective films, disaster films, fantasy films, film noir, guy films, melodramas, road films, romances, sports films, supernatural films, thrillers, and zombie films. Each sub-genre has distinctive subject matter, conventions, and iconography. Examples are given to illustrate different sub-genres.
Horror representation
This document discusses representations in horror films and society. It defines representation as a construction that reflects societal attitudes rather than accuracy. Gender, social class, age, and national identities are often represented in traditional ways in older horror films. Carol Clover's "Final Girl" theory holds that the last surviving victim, who is often intelligent and virginal, takes on the role of investigating the threat. The document analyzes how representations have changed over time, with women increasingly shown as heroes rather than victims and the working class represented with more nuance. Feminism is seen as pushing for more adaptive representations while not fundamentally changing the dominant ideology.
Beloved 2017 slides 2
Beloved explores the aftermath of slavery through the stories of Sethe and Paul D. It examines themes of motherhood, community, identity, and trauma in the lives of former slaves trying to rebuild their lives after emancipation. The novel has an unconventional narrative structure, unfolding the characters' pasts through a series of nonlinear flashbacks. It seeks to recapture histories untold from the perspective of African Americans and give voice to those marginalized and silenced by the dominant narratives around slavery.
Genre theory
This document provides an overview of genre theory in film. It discusses how genres have common elements and conventions that allow films to be categorized. Some key points made include:
- Genres have existed since the early days of cinema and also have roots in ancient Greek theatre.
- Genres are defined by common themes, settings, styles, and plots across multiple films.
- Several examples of genres are given like sci-fi, horror, musical, and examples of conventions for each are listed.
- The document analyzes the genre and conventions of the film "Leon" and categorizes it as an action thriller.

Producers and audiences revision pack
The document discusses film distribution and the relationship between producers and audiences. It notes that five major distributors dominate the UK film industry and control distribution of both their own films and others. This arrangement means that blockbuster films receive blanket releases and wide promotion, competing for attention with smaller, independent films. The relationship between producers and audiences is complex, with arguments that audiences ultimately determine success through their choices, but producers also heavily market films to influence consumer behavior.

Sliding doors review jessica
The film "Sliding Doors" shows two parallel storylines of Helen's life depending on whether she catches or misses a train. If she catches it, she loses her job and catches her husband cheating. If she misses it, she is mugged but avoids catching her husband. The film explores how this one event dramatically impacts Helen's love life, career, and family possibilities. It also examines the character of Helen's unfaithful husband Gerry and contrasts him with her kind love interest James. Though the separate storylines are somewhat simple, viewing them together through the device of the missed/caught train makes for an intriguing film that encourages reflection on life's small decisions.
Narrative structures
The document discusses various narrative theories and concepts. It defines narrative as the relation between a series of events, while plot is the order characters learn about events, and story is the chronological order events occur. It examines Todorov's narrative structure of equilibrium being disrupted and restored. It also discusses Propp's character archetypes, Levi-Strauss's binary oppositions, Barthes' narrative codes, and how 24 establishes narrative elements like characters and intrigue in its opening sequence.
Narrative structure
The passage discusses narrative structures in films. It describes the traditional three-act structure, with Act 1 introducing characters and conflicts, Act 2 featuring increasing obstacles for protagonists, and Act 3 resolving the conflicts. It also outlines film scholar Kristin Thompson's four-part structure model, with a turning point at the midway point dividing the film into two roughly equal halves of setup and payoff. Finally, it defines the exposition as the dense opening that orients viewers with narrative details, setting the stage for the primary conflict in the first act.
Marketing and fandom
The document discusses the history and development of Marvel Comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It details how Marvel Comics was established in 1939 and introduced popular characters like Fantastic Four, Hulk, Thor, Spiderman, and X-Men. In the 1980s, Marvel split into entertainment subsidiaries and began producing movies based on its characters. The Marvel Cinematic Universe was created as a shared fictional universe to feature the Avengers. It includes blockbuster films like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and The Avengers, which combined gross over $4 billion worldwide. The document also examines cult fandom around genres and properties like Marvel and how the movies and extended universe appeal to large fanbases.
Macro features
The document provides instructions for an independent research project asking the student to create a macro features pack that defines and applies various film theories to three films: Narrative theory to Oldboy, Genre theory to No Country for Old Men, and Representation theory to Harry Brown. The pack should be a useful reference resource using the case studies as examples and can be created in a format such as PowerPoint. Specific film theories are listed under each section - Narrative, Genre, and Representation - for the student to define and apply in their analysis.
Introduction to narrative_theory
This document provides an introduction to narrative theory, focusing on concepts from Tzvetan Todorov. It defines key terms like narrative, plot, and story. Narrative is how a story is told, plot is the order events are discovered, and story is the chronological order. It discusses three narrative structures: circular starts at the end, episodic uses flashbacks, and linear is simple cause-and-effect. Narrative viewpoint can be restricted to a character's knowledge or omniscient allowing more information. Genres like crime tend toward restricted viewpoint while others like sci-fi may be omniscient. Todorov's theory outlines narrative in 5 stages from equilibrium to disruption to resolution. The document suggests applying
Film distribution
This document discusses film distribution and how it works differently for independent films compared to Hollywood films. It explains that film distributors are responsible for licensing, marketing, prints/advertising, logistics, and digital distribution of films. Their goal is to get as many people as possible to see the film by developing appropriate marketing campaigns targeted at specific audiences. Major Hollywood distributors have global, regional, national, and local release strategies to maximize audiences. Independent films often have a harder time finding distributors to acquire their films. The document also provides examples of distribution deals for specific films like The Boat That Rocked and This is England to illustrate the differences between major studio and independent distribution.
Film distribution
This document discusses film distribution and marketing synergy. It begins by outlining the key concepts to be covered: distribution, vertical and horizontal integration, and synergy. It then provides definitions of vertical integration, horizontal integration, and distribution. Distribution involves organizing exhibition outlets, arranging prints, and marketing/promoting across holdings through planned synergy. Students are tasked with creating a visual displaying vertical and horizontal integration, and providing examples of synergy for an upcoming Ms. Marvel film by mind mapping promotional potentials across audience groups and existing properties. Homework involves completing the mind map and collecting examples of synergy for a current film release.

Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Film essay plan
- 1. Film Essay Plan: Gender/Characters Year 12 INTRODUCTION Refer to the question and discuss gender representation in horror generally. Discuss differences between British and American horror. Mention the key texts - including director and year. Dominant ideology with specific regard to gender representation. DRACULA Established classic British Horror. Produced in the 1950s. Gothic Horror which has strong sexual undercurrents. Men are strong patriarchal figures – both the antagonist and protagonist. Arthur and Harker as weaker men – reject supernatural/narrow-minded. Women are punished for their impurity and sexuality. Women have to be killed to restore normality. THE DESCENT Goes against dominant ideology and general horror conventions (particularly American examples). Lack of male characters. All characters are strong females. Strongest characters are however the more 'masculine' ones. Women seen as non-stereotypical characters. They are more rounded and have interests other than just men or shopping. Not 'bitchy' stereotypes. They fight back. Not waiting for somebody else to help them or save them. They are resourceful. Ultimately however they all die. Does this affect their representation? Sarah as maternal – 3 births into the monster and becomes the final girl. British film characteristics: Pessimistic resolution, character drama, contained location, small scale, low budget, British creative team, British actors, British iconography - absent. 28 DAYS LATER Selena as the dominant woman regresses into the damsel in distress Reversal of Jim and Selena after they become the family unit (collective) with Hannah Frank. Selena becomes the mother figure to Hannah when Frank dies. Jim becomes primitive (4 births). First kill of the boy – defends himself. Why a child? Exploring empty London - childlike Jim at first rejects masculinity (physically and mentally) but steps up to the role of father/protector when Frank dies. Soldiers/Monsters CONCLUSION Refer to the question. Gender rep is different in all texts. Personal response/engagement. Speak about the genre and also refer to British and American film. Sum up
