Evaluation Q1: Convention and Representation

My Prezi on representation i talk about both why I choose to make this my character and have this time of narrative.



Talk show
For my first evaluation question I did a talk show where I interview myself and ask about conventions used and not used.

Looking at the narrative theorists in more detail, my movie in some ways follows Propps character theory but at the same time not fully. The main character is the Hero in the story but not in the sense that he saves the day but more that he is who the story evolves around. Later on there would be a villain, not just zombies, the reason for this is so the movie wouldn't be as dull and I could integrate some of Todorovs Equilibrium theory of how the movie starts of "normal" but escalates with a "villain". Levi-Strauss theory doesn't really apply as every one who has survived has done something bad and is in some ways seen as bad. So instead of having Good v Evil it is more like Evil V Evil like in "Deadpool" (2016). I do however follow Rolands enigma theory, the reason for this is because without it every one would already know every thing and not be bothered with what happens in the movie.

The reason for having more "main" British accents than american ones is 1 because they are usually cheaper and then will keep the budget lower. The 2nd is so the British audience can relate and know who these actors are and then want to see them on the screen. Another reason is, in america British people are seen as more posh and polite and I wanted to break this stereotype by having the British character be from the north or "hard parts" of England so to let the american audience know that Brits are tough, tough enough to survive the zombie apocalypse.
