Introduction:
Whenanalysingfilmswe use auteurtheorytofindouthow gooda directorby analysingwhatthey
have created.
We can alsouse genre analysisthisissomethingcompletelydifferenttoauteurtheory.
WhenusingGenre analysisyoureferto Lacey’sRepertoire of Elements.Thisissomethingyouuse
whenanalysingamovie.Itgivesyouthe setbase foryour writtenoverview.Thisgivesyouthe
Setting,Character,Narrative events,Iconographyandstyle:Technical andAudiocodes. While
watchingthe movie,youtake notesinthese features soatthe endof the movie youcanuse this
informationtowrite aconclusionof the movie andyouroverall analysis.E.G.whenwe watchedthe
movie cowboysandaliens,we noticedthatthe iconographyinthe movie was:The cowboyoutfits,
and the horsesandthe gunsand the salon,justthe general thingsthatwill be seeninnearlyall
westernmovies.Alsoyouwillnotice the locationsare verycliché fora western.Withthe mise en
scene beinginthe desertwith the salonandthe cacti.
Withauteurtheoryyou can see clearlyinthe movie inception.Thisisbecause the waythe movie is
setout ina non-linearnarrative andotherkeyelementsthatshow the directorsdistinctive movie
style.Thismakeshisworkvery noticeable.
In deeperdetailfrommyintroductionIwill be lookingintothe use of Lacey’sRepertoire of
Elements.InthisIwill be lookingatone of the text’sIhave previouslystudied.Thiswill be Pulp
Fiction.WhenIwrote aboutthis movie andwhen IstudieditImade keynoticesthatmade my
overall writtenworkgood.Suchasthe use of iconography,andlocationsandsoon.
For example:Walkamongthe tombstones. (Dir. ScottFrank – 2014)
Withinthe trailerwe spottedseveralconventionsinthe Mise En Scene.Thisallowedustomake a
small draftof where the movie couldbe basedandwhatsortof areaswe couldbe.These were:
Washington,InA Bar, On the Streetand In Car’s.
Character:Liam Neeson(protagonist)–Is the detective inthe movie.He isplayingthispartbecause
we saw himin‘taken`and ‘taken2` and he fittedthe role verywell.Thismeansif theyputhimina
movie,itwill attractmajorattention.The victim(The man’swife) we know verylittle todowiththis
character, thisgivesusa sense of mysteryandmakesuscurious.Victim2 (the girl inthe red coat)
we have seenthischaracterbut yetagain we still know veryverylittleabouther.Thiscreatesa
narrative enigma
NarrativeEvents: Withinthe trailer,there were certainelementsthatwere leftout.Like,the wayhe
talksaboutthe person’swife beingtaken.Itthenonlyshowsyouasmall clipandthat small clipgives
youa little bitof the action,butnot enoughsoitenticesyouto come and watchthe movie.Alsothe
waythe speakertalksaboutthe movie andwhat’shappenedandwhat’sgoingonmakesyouwant
to see itbecause youcan’t see the full picture
Iconography:Empire state building,The New YorkSkyLine,Bar,The coloursshow itsgoingto be
actionbecause at the beginningthere isn’tmuchcolourbuttheyare slowlygettingbrighter
Style: Technical and Audio Codes:
 Camerause:Tracking.
Setting: NewYork – Most good actionmoviesare setinbig cities.SuchasNew York, WashingtonDC,
London.Thisis because itisa vast area anda lotof thingscan happen.
Tom Ross PR4
 Editing:Fades,colourfadesandcolourenhancement.Quickshot.
 Nondiegetic:SoundFromthe verystartis usedto buildsuspense.
Thisgenre of this movie isactionthriller.Thismakesthismovie veryconventional andgeneric.This
meansitis verysimilartoa lot of moviesof thisgenre.Unlike Pulpfiction.Thismovie isalsoan
actionthrillerbutit’sa non-genericmovie.Andissetoutin a non-linearstructure.Thismakesthe
author of pulpfictionanauteur.The directorof pulpfictionwasQuentinTarantino.
These are verystereotypical of ateenmovie withhighschool studentsin.
The way the movie islaidoutis verylinier,ithasa setbeginningsetmiddle andsetend.This
containsa sort of revenge plotthatistakenway too farand thenis sortof forgottenandthenat the
endcomestogetherandeveryone getsalongwithone anotheranditall getssorted.
There are several thingsinthis movie thatmake iticonic.The use of jockeycoats,the use of stylish
clothing,the use of differentgroupsof people (emo’s,jocks,plasticse.c.t.).Alsothe house partyis
alsoveryiconic.
Mise en scene:The HighSchool,The Party’s,The Café
Mean girls(Dir.Mark Walters – 2004) [Genre- Teen comedy/Romance] HighSchool.House Party’s
These are conventionstodowithnormal highschool movies.These containscenesthatnearlyall
teenmovieshave inthem,mostmoviesbuildaroundthe lifestyleof ateenagerhave House partiesin
thembut theyalsocontaina lotof scenesthoughoutschool. The waythat differentcharactersare
seeninthismovie isveryiconic.Theyhave the populargirls –Usuallythe bitchyones.The un
populargirlswhoare normallythe weirdo’sandoutcasts – youhave the popularladswhofall forthe
populargirlsandare nobsand full of themselves. –thenyouhave the unpopularguyswho are with
the unpopulargirlsandalsooutcasts.
Camerause:panningshots.Wide shots.
Tom Ross PR4
Thisall explainsgenerabecause if showsalotof iconiccodesand conventions.Suchasthe teenage
love,teenagerishighschool.The hierarchybetweenstudents.Andmanyotherthingsthatwouldbe
usedinthistype of generateencomedy.Thisestablishesthe movie asgenera.Alsothe feud
betweenthe unpopulargroupandthe populargroupis veryiconic.
NapoleonDynamite:(Dir.JeradHess –2004) [Genre – Teen Romance/Comedy]
Thismovie wasveryNon-generic.Thismeansitwasnotlike everyotherteencomedyandromance.
Thismade it an auteur.Thisis because the directorof the movie focusedmore onartisticmeritover
commercial success.Thisgivesthe movie adistinctivelook.
In comparisontomeangirlsthere isa major difference inthe movies.There bothgotthe same
genre butthe movie itself isstyledcompletelydifferent.Thisisbecause meangirlsisagenericand
Napoleondynamite isaNon-generic.AlsoMarkWalters(Dir.of Mean Girls) directed thismoviefor
Commercial successwhereasNapoleonDynamite waswrittenforArtisticmerit.
In the meangirlsposterthe imageryusedisveryappealing.Thismeaningthe pinkclothes.The hot
girls.Veryfamousactors.The girlsare posinglooking‘sexy’.Whereasinthe NapoleonDynamite
posterthere isa weirdlookingpersoninthe middle.Withbadfashionsense,looksfunny,andisn’t
well knownorattractive.

We can alsouse genre analysisthisissomethingcompletelydifferenttoauteurtheory. WhenusingGenre analysisyoureferto Lacey’sRepertoire of Elements.Thisissomethingyouuse whenanalysingamovie.Itgivesyouthe setbase foryour writtenoverview.Thisgivesyouthe Setting,Character,Narrative events,Iconographyandstyle:Technical andAudiocodes. While watchingthe movie,youtake notesinthese features soatthe endof the movie youcanuse this informationtowrite aconclusionof the movie andyouroverall analysis.E.G.whenwe watchedthe movie cowboysandaliens,we noticedthatthe iconographyinthe movie was:The cowboyoutfits, and the horsesandthe gunsand the salon,justthe general thingsthatwill be seeninnearlyall westernmovies.Alsoyouwillnotice the locationsare verycliché fora western.Withthe mise en scene beinginthe desertwith the salonandthe cacti. Withauteurtheoryyou can see clearlyinthe movie inception.Thisisbecause the waythe movie is setout ina non-linearnarrative andotherkeyelementsthatshow the directorsdistinctive movie style.Thismakeshisworkvery noticeable. In deeperdetailfrommyintroductionIwill be lookingintothe use of Lacey’sRepertoire of Elements.InthisIwill be lookingatone of the text’sIhave previouslystudied.Thiswill be Pulp Fiction.WhenIwrote aboutthis movie andwhen IstudieditImade keynoticesthatmade my overall writtenworkgood.Suchasthe use of iconography,andlocationsandsoon. For example:Walkamongthe tombstones. (Dir. ScottFrank – 2014) Withinthe trailerwe spottedseveralconventionsinthe Mise En Scene.Thisallowedustomake a small draftof where the movie couldbe basedandwhatsortof areaswe couldbe.These were: Washington,InA Bar, On the Streetand In Car’s. Character:Liam Neeson(protagonist)–Is the detective inthe movie.He isplayingthispartbecause we saw himin‘taken`and ‘taken2` and he fittedthe role verywell.Thismeansif theyputhimina movie,itwill attractmajorattention.The victim(The man’swife) we know verylittle todowiththis character, thisgivesusa sense of mysteryandmakesuscurious.Victim2 (the girl inthe red coat) we have seenthischaracterbut yetagain we still know veryverylittleabouther.Thiscreatesa narrative enigma NarrativeEvents: Withinthe trailer,there were certainelementsthatwere leftout.Like,the wayhe talksaboutthe person’swife beingtaken.Itthenonlyshowsyouasmall clipandthat small clipgives youa little bitof the action,butnot enoughsoitenticesyouto come and watchthe movie.Alsothe waythe speakertalksaboutthe movie andwhat’shappenedandwhat’sgoingonmakesyouwant to see itbecause youcan’t see the full picture Iconography:Empire state building,The New YorkSkyLine,Bar,The coloursshow itsgoingto be actionbecause at the beginningthere isn’tmuchcolourbuttheyare slowlygettingbrighter Style: Technical and Audio Codes:  Camerause:Tracking.

There are several thingsinthis movie thatmake iticonic.The use of jockeycoats,the use of stylish clothing,the use of differentgroupsof people (emo’s,jocks,plasticse.c.t.).Alsothe house partyis alsoveryiconic.
