His dark materials ( blog task

1) His Dark Materials fits the fantasy TV genre through its use of otherworldly settings, magical creatures (daemons), and a quest-driven plot. It incorporates classic fantasy elements like parallel universes and mystical artifacts (the alethiometer). The visual style often uses rich, atmospheric mise-en-scene with dark, moody lighting and costume design that evokes a mythical, timeless feel. 2) Using Propp’s character theory: - Lyra fits the role of the Hero, as she drives the plot and undertakes the journey. - Mrs Coulter is the Villain, with her manipulative and antagonistic actions. - Lee Scoresby acts as the Donor, providing aid and tools to the hero. - Will can be seen as a Helper, supporting Lyra on her quest. 3) Barthes’ enigma codes appear through mysteries such as the function of the alethiometer and the true nature of Dust.

Doctor Who CSP LIAR

  1) How can we apply narrative theories to this episode of   Doctor Who ?  Todorov's Equilibrium: Todorov suggested that all narratives follow a three part structure. They begin with equilibrium, where everything is balanced, progress as something comes along to disrupt that equilibrium, and finally reach a resolution, when a new equilibrium is restored. Equilibrium > Disequilibrium > New equilibrium This can be applied to most media narratives   Propp's character theory:   Vladimir Propp stated that there were seven basic character roles when he analysed classic fairy tales and that these were present in most narratives. Media products still use these recognisable character types today: Hero, Villain, Heroine/Princess, Father, Donor, Helper/Sidekick, False Hero   Barthes's enigma and action codes: Action Codes:  anything that suggests something dramatic is about to happen.
