This lesson is designed to assist students in a case study of 'Sherlock' season 1. It is particularly useful for the upcoming GCSE Media Studies exam in 2018. Included in this recourse is a presentation which introduces students to the codes and conventions of Sherlock, and looks into Propp's Character Theory, and Todorov's Narrative Theory. Also included is a worksheet to go along with the PowerPoint, so students can complete tasks as the presentation moves along. At the end of the worksheet there is a small feedback section so teachers can be assured of how much the students understand of this topic, and which particular sections they need to re-cover.
Thank You :)

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. Trailer 1 – Hurricane Sharon Trailer
Through analysing this first soap opera trailer, the narrative function ‘Beginning Counter-Action’ is represented
in the key themes of the trailer. Sharon, a key character, is returning to the soap after leaving her problems
unresolved. For example the verbal code of the diegetic dialogue “Sharon is back!!” connotes how this will be a
defining moment for the hero. As she will fight to counter act any problems that were left when she was gone.
According to Propp’s Character roles, many of the key characters featured in this trailer can be associated to
certain roles. The trailer features heavily on the return of a main character. Sharon, the returning character is
dressed in a bright white wedding dress. For example the technical code of the medium long shot of Sharon in
her wedding dress portrays her as being a “Princess” (Propp’s character roles) who perhaps needs saving.
However the character is presented above all the other characters in the trailer. This means therefore she is
breaking out of this character role.
Additionally the wedding dress hints at the main plot to revolve around a key wedding. This conforms to Propp’s
narrative function the ‘wedding’. The hero marries and is rewarded or promoted by the family or community. In
Sharon's case she may gain power in EastEnders by marrying a key character, this makes the character ascend to
the throne. For example the technical code of the long shot, of Sharon ascending above the ground connotes
how the wedding will bring power to Sharon.
3. Trailer 2 – Official Hollyoaks Trailer: Love Lies
and Betrayal
The Narrative theme ‘Struggle’ (Propp’s narrative functions) features heavily
through the intertwining plots of this second trailer. This is due to the fact that many
of the characters are struggling with their own problems. The trailer opens with the
‘Trickery’ of adultery in the opening scenes, whereby the verbal code of the title
‘Lies’ (Propp’s Narrative functions) reinforces the trickery within the trailer.
‘Delivery’ (Propp’s narrative functions) is an additional narrative function that is
relevant in the scene where the villain delivers a injection that knocks out the hero.
