21st January film-


Distort
Exaggerate
Breaks
Plays

Narrative 

Ralph challenges his stereotypical character as a villain. The chn of the games is changed when he no longer wants to be the villain and wants to become the hero. This distorts and breaks the narrative.

Representation and narrative 

Distorted and plays

This clip explores the REPRESENTATION of gender. The woman is shown as masculine as she has short hair and is in charge of the men. Where as Ralph is shown as feminine as he is shown scared and doesn't fit in with the action genre. As a villain he also challenges his stereotype for not being masculine this again challenges NARRATIVE.

Breaking 
Collapsed macro

Exaggerate- conforming to the macro&stereotype

Prequel mind map




By setting what was a war film in modern day I need to blend it into a different genre so that it is realistic. Horror and youth gang films are two that will be possible to use when filming.
There is a lot of violence this will result in having an action chick as in Grindhouse he also uses an action chick.

Prequel Idea

Title- Glorious Basterds

Antagonist-Jews, Jacob and his basterds
Protagonist-Aliza
Sidekick-Noah

Disruption-Hitlers death has resulted in the Jews taking revenge on the world as they believe they were not helped by anyone and as a Jew killed Hitler the majority of people fear the Jews.

How it is solved- Aliza and Noah do research on Shoshanna and find that her family and her were helped by a non jewish family until they were found. They realise that the aim of Shoshanna was to kill the Nazis only. Aliza and Noah spread the message of the true story and have to try to get rid of Jacob and his basterds. Many of the basterds die and so does Aliza so Noah has to continue trying to remove the basterds from dictators.

Resolution- The Jewish culture is restored and people learn to live undivided.

Lesson learnt- Revenge isn't the answer.
