Syd Field suggested that films can be divided into three acts: the setup, confrontation, and resolution. There are plot points between the acts that change characters' lives and relationships, altering the tone. The setup grabs audience attention in the first 10 minutes by introducing the main character and problem. In the confrontation, the character faces escalating problems helplessly until finding a better approach by the second plot point. The resolution has the character take control and achieve victory over their enemy.
The homework for Media
The document defines and provides examples of several major film genres: romance focuses on themes of love; horror seeks to elicit fear for entertainment; animation can have many aspects but is often old themes brought to life.

Westerns are set in the American Old West. Fantasy incorporates imaginative and supernatural themes, sometimes involving magic or fantasy worlds.
Evaluation 1
Claude Levi-Strauss's theory of binary opposites structures the narrative of the film "Vanity" through the contrast of the male and female protagonists. The film also follows Tzvetan Todorov's model of narrative by beginning in equilibrium, disrupting it, and attempting to repair it through the relationship. While influenced by films like "The Vow" and "Titanic" in its romantic genre and use of shots, "Vanity" challenges conventions with minimal dialogue and added non-copyright music and sound effects to clearly convey the story. Camera techniques like close-ups and framing mimic those in "The Hunger Games" and "The Third Man" respectively.

3) Editing pace increased over time to engage the audience and build suspense, developing a convention of consistent pacing.

Evaluation question one
Our film 'RED' uses conventions of the thriller genre such as low-key lighting to build suspense and highlight the protagonist's emotional conflict after she murders her husband for infidelity. Costume is also used unconventionally with the protagonist wearing a red dress to convey danger, anger and passion. Editing pace increases over time to engage the audience as the narrative unravels. Camera shots closely follow thriller conventions with frequent close-ups on emotions and clues. While our film's opening follows Todorov's theory of narrative structure, it challenges conventions by leaving the audience on a cliffhanger without resolution.
