Media Theories

My notes on how the four different theories were incorporated into the film The Huger Games:

1. Propps Character Roles

This theory states that each character will fall into 1 of 8 different characters.

Katniss Everdeen- The Hero
Peter Mellark- The Donor
Primrose- The Helper
Captain Snow- The Villain

2. Levi-Strauss' Binary Oppositions

This theory uses opposites to show the contrast.

The Capital - The Districts / Rich-Poor
Peter - Katniss / Boy-Girl

3. Todorovs's Equilibrium Theory

Katniss lives her everyday life- Equilibrium
Her sister gets nominated to fight into the hunger games - A disruption of that order by an event
Katniss volunteers as tribute and fights in the games - A recognition that the disorder has occurred
Katniss tries to win the games- Attempt to repair the damage of the disruption
She wins and goes back to her district safely - A return or restoration of an equilibrium

4. Uses and Gratification Theory 

 Social Interaction/Entertainment

Uses and gratifications theory is an approach to understanding why and how people actively seek out specific media to satisfy specific needs. It looks at what audiences want when watching a film. The audience want to see a problem be resolved which in the hunger games Katniss over came the problem and won the games.

500 Word Evaluation, OITNB

I think that my presentation was alright as I touched upon the use of the camera work and music to help create tension in the scene I choose. However, a bit more detail could have improved it to make my presentation more interesting and effective. More practise was required of my presentation as I need to engage with the audience to keep them more interested. I chose OITNB because, not only do I like the television series, I think that the use of camerawork and the transition to each angle is very affective throughout and relates well to the specific scenes.  Orange is the new black is mostly about woman from different cultural backgrounds and there past and current experiences in a low security federal prison. The audience is mostly to adults because of the adult themes however they keep the programme interesting because of the use of different characters that could relate to nearly everyone and the personal stories behind each one.

The specific scene that I choose was the finale scene of series 3, where all of the woman come together and corner the guards. Prior to this scene, a well know face in the prison had just been accidentally suffocated by a guard who regretfully knelt on this woman to stop a riot. Sadly, the woman died and it effected many other prisoners who had been close. Shortly after the guard had not been charged of murder and had actually been called the victim which provoked many prisoners to become angry and join as one, which leads me to the end scene. All the woman come together and express their emotions toward the situation which is obviously seen as anger as one has a gun to a guard’s head at the end. Personally, I find the last scene touching as throughout the series the women are all cut into groups of different cultural backgrounds. However, at this end scene, even though they’re still seen stood with their group, all the women have come together and are seen as united. This makes the scene so powerful as it is the first time they’re strong together against the guards/world. Also, the use of music is both dramatic because of the low pitch beat but also sad as the song is slow which, even in the rush of drama, could suggest the character with the gun has maybe frozen in time a little bit or that the slow music could create suspense as the music its self is an unpredictable tune/beat just like the situation.
